M. C. Escher Museum Visit

Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) is a world famous Dutch graphic artist, he worked mainly with woodcuts and lithographs.

Today we went to the Escher museum with Daddy. He is famous for his interesting transitional pictures.  Henry found the most interesting part was the Angel/Devil picture since it is the first time he has ever seen a picture of a devil.  Henry picked up this postcard on the right to remind him of his visit.

Since Escher did a lot of things in terms of perspective we really had fun in the ‘perspective’ room.  It really looks like Henry has had a growth spurt doesn’t it?

The other fascination was with the fancy chandeliers throughout the museum.  They had nothing to do with Escher but can you guess which one Henry loved most.

After the museum we decided to surprise mommy at the archives.  Lucky for us we ran into her at the train station and then took her out  for Indonesian food for dinner.
