Kaleidoscope based on Metamorphosis III, by M. C. Escher. Woodcut print, 1967-1968. Maurits Cornelis Escher, a 20th century Dutch artist famous for his etchings and illustrations, uses painstaking perspective and geometry to create his art - challenging the viewer to second guess what is physically possible.
