Maurits Cornelis Escher

Maurits Cornelis Escher,
artist or mathematician?
Methinks he's more like a torturer,
sending faceless men on a fruitless mission!



NOTE: He's a sketcher who drew the famous work, Relativity (as well as many others).

he sounds like someone I would not like, someone hard to decipher?

Perfect for a colored blind guy like me.

Good point, Rick! However one thing that's nice about his works is that the majority of them (including Relativity) are all black and white, because they are pencil drawings.
