What awaits you at the M.C. Escher exhibition
The exhibition will take you through M.C. Escher’s artistic career, from his early works to his more mature ones, exploring the techniques and research that shaped his work. Curated by leading expert Federico Giudiceandrea, you’ll be guided through the themes that made the artist a household name – tessellations, metamorphoses, spatial structures, impossible constructions, and the iconic visual paradoxes that make his style instantly recognisable.
Some of M.C. Escher’s signature works you can look forward to seeing at Somerset House this June include Hand with Reflecting Sphere (1935), Day and Night (1938), Eye (1946), Relativity (1953), Print Gallery (1956), and Bond of Union (1956).
You will also be able to explore interactive installations for both adults and children, allowing you to get up close and personal with the conceptual mechanisms underlying his art – including the impossible perspectives and wondrous visual systems emblematic to the works all around you.
