JOURNEY TO INFINITY: ESCHER’S WORLD OF WONDER
Thanks to his growing notoriety, M.C. Escher was regularly commissioned to make artworks by officials and admirers around the world. He also received more modest requests, from a concert programme cover to simple greeting cards and ex-libris. M.C. Escher paid equal attention to these more minor commissions, adapting his large compositions language to suit smaller scale projects.
