Summary
The Museum of Friesland brings M.C. Escher back to his hometown, Leeuwarden. In Escher's Journey, you can follow his development from a graphic designer to a world-famous artist. With more than eighty original prints, about twenty drawings, as well as various photographs and objects, visitors follow in the footsteps of this travel-mad graphic artist, who found inspiration for his most famous works in Italy, Switzerland, and Spain. The journey starts in the grey, flat Netherlands and takes you to the sun and mountains of the Mediterranean. Escher's love of travelling proved to be a determining factor in his artistic development. The sketches he made along the way were the inspiration for the masterpieces in which he manipulated reality years later. The exhibition ends with these iconic works that made Escher so famous and popular.
