M. C. Escher Artist Quotations

By keenly confronting the enigmas that surround us, and by considering and analyzing the observations that I had made, I ended up in the domain of mathematics. Although I am absolutely without training in the exact sciences, I often seem to have more in common with mathematicians than with my fellow artists.

I am a graphic artist heart and soul, though I find the term artist rather embarrassing.

All my works are games, serious game.

What I give form to in daylight is only one per cent of what I have seen in darkness.

It is human nature to want to exchange ideas, and I believe that, at bottom, every artist wants no more than to tell the world what he has to say.
