I went to an Escher exhibition this month and found this blurb next to his piece "Trees near Arnhem, Feb 1920". [ Escher wrote, "Fortunately, I strongly sense the 'thought process' in the result: the stately line of trees that comes sauntering across the hills from a very great distance and, when the hill has been climbed, suddenly stands before us, huge and menacing." Escher's "thought process" can be traced in a series of three drawings, from his initial sketch to the final ink drawing, one of the largest he mader. In them, he moves from observation to artistry, eloquently expressing the "sauntering" rhythm of the trees, transforming the path, fields, trunks, and branches into a series of sweeping arcs and patterns." ] He starts with an idea through brainstorming and narrows it down through redrawings and recompositions using different materials and tools. That's Ne-Ti.

Biography

Maurits Cornelis Escher (Dutch pronunciation: 17 June 1898 – 27 March 1972) was a Dutch graphic artist who made mathematically-inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. His work features mathematical objects and operations including impossible objects, explorations of infinity, reflection, symmetry, perspective, truncated and stellated polyhedra, hyperbolic geometry, and tessellations. Although Escher believed he had no mathematical ability, he interacted with the mathematicians George Pólya, Roger Penrose, Harold Coxeter and crystallographer Friedrich Haag, and conducted his own research into tessellation.
