Bravo ! Bravo ! Bravo ! Quelle analyse ! Je travaille en graphisme vidéo et ai toujours aimé les mathématiques. Votre étude m'a permis de saisir de nouvelles choses et m'a ouvert de nouvelles voies ainsi que de nouvelles idées. Merci encore, et quel génie ce Escher !

I am a mathematician and I admire Escher.

heel mooi, sowieso prachtige plaat he? leuk hoor zo'n invulling, maar is de plaat nu echt 'dicht'? ik kan het niet laten te melden dat er nog steeds (ook) een gat in het midden zit, ook al lijkt het voor het oog nu opgevuld. veel 'eindeloos' kijkplezier !!

SAM2003-06-10 09:00:55

That was a trip worth taking!

Peter Langston2003-06-03 10:09:38
Wow! Amazing stuff; very exciting! Thanks...

Thank you for this analysis! In 1969, as a math graduate student, I attended a conference in Amsterdam and was able to visit M. C. Escher at his home studio. I could afford only one lithograph, and had a terrible time deciding which one to choose. After an hour (during which he gallantly brought out all the prints he had), he begged me to make a selection. I asked him which was his favorite, and that is how I ended up with Print Gallery. He said he liked it best of all his work. Lelia Pound

cool site if you get any other vids e-mail me and i will check them out

Van Laer Raphael2003-05-29 14:08:07
Good Work. But a little more about Esher himself would be nice.

Lee McElhenney2003-05-28 18:55:50
Great site and presentation. If anyone is interested in further reading, check out "Godel, Escher, Bach: The Eternal Golden Braid; A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll." by Douglas Hofstadter. A must read for any enthusiast of mathematics, m.c.escher, classical music, A.I., etc.- Thanks Kys.

flossy smith2003-05-28 17:52:28
just doing a search for educational reasons. Interested in Escher re maths. Am a maths teacher.

Isaac2003-05-27 14:36:26
Good job, but, did you understood how Escher mind worked?

John Pullen2003-05-26 23:20:05
I listened to a talk at UC Davis on Monday May 19th. It confirmed the reason why I choose to major in Math.

Roel van Heeswijk2003-05-26 04:10:49
Verbazend hoe Escher dit allemaal zonder hulp van computers heeft kunnen doen.

Mrs. Debra Murphy2003-05-24 11:50:59
I have a question?? Regarding a"Sliding Boxed Puzzle". Named "Sky and water 1" by Mr.MC Escher. A company from (Bad Salzuflen, Germany)named "Pussycat" made this particular piece of Mr. Escher's fine skilled work in {1938}. I have treasured this remarkable piece of art for almost 3 yrs. now. Please if anyone can Email me{stlnlve12@aol.com} and fill me in on the history of this rare piece of art. Thxs.

Ritzy Pitzy2003-05-24 06:02:58

Trudy Nierman2003-05-20 13:32:29
Hallo Allard, vertel je tante eens wat je precies doet, ik zou er graag iets van willen weten? De kunst zit dus echt in onze familie, en zie graag eens werk van je. Hartelijke groeten ook aan je ouders, Trudy Nierman

Ling-Lie Chau2003-05-19 23:49:38
I attended Professor Lenstra's lecture today at UC Davis and enjoyed very much. Thank you. p.s. I am professor in physics and the Graduate Group of Applied Mathematics at UC Davis. From now on when I teaching conformal mapping, I will refer students to this site.

dzjèk2003-05-19 20:28:55
Al jaren favoriet van Escher. Jáááren geleden al eens nagetekend. Ik heb verschillende boeken. Zelf al eens een deeltje op een wandelstok van hout uitgesneden. Jack van der Marel Kijk eens op wie.knipoogt.nl

Bruce Bowen2003-05-17 17:42:43
I recently attended a presentation at Stanford University by Professor Hendrik Lenstra on Escher and the Droste effect. It occured to me the next day that the painting reminded me very much of a sort of 2-D circular slide rule, and the stretched out version as a linear slide rule. Don't know how many people are familiar with slide rules nowdays. :) -Bruce

Stacy O. Phoenix, AZ, USA2003-05-15 18:58:49
Wow! I clicked on your site to do a math project (I'm a student at ASU) and discovered more than ever expected! Thanks for your "Escher For Dummies" site, it opened up a whole new perspective (sorry for the pun)

Bob Seehorn2003-05-13 14:30:41
TO: Hendrik Lenstra Thank you so much for the presentation last night (May 12, 2003). I had read your paper in the Notices of the AMS. The paper didn't sink in until you walked through the examples with the visual animaitons. Thanks.

Parampreet Singh2003-05-13 07:29:29
Amazing animations. Keep it up.

Sylvan2003-05-11 03:37:06
Wow..fascinating! I don't understand the mathematics behind it, but it sure looks cool! I still like the original, though. The circle in the middle adds an element of mystery to it. Just wish I could get a hi-res copy of the new version!

Karel Dhont2003-05-09 12:45:52
Brilliant!!!!!

Richard King2003-05-04 05:26:11
All I can do is stand in awe of Escher. I'm also incredibly impressed what you have done here - it has helped me understand what Escher had in mind and prompts me to wonder what he would have thought if he could see what you have done in "finishing" his work. I think he would have loved computers, but would have stuck to his engraving and carving as media of choice :-)

Carlos Stollmann2003-05-03 01:11:15
Since my kid days i was overwhelmed by this incredible artist, what else? long life to M.C. Escher!!!!!

Respected Dear sir, I r.j.g.perumal working in wadia inst.him.geology,d.dun.india. My active research is on AMS and Plaeomagnetism. I am using this technique to decipher the roation componet of Himalayan orogeny. I read your classical papers on this topic in himalaya. I would be greatful to you and kindly send some of your papers of my intrest.As you are well aware that very few work has been done hence immense scope in htis terrain. sincerely Dr.R.J.G.Perumal 33 g.m singh road wadia Institute of Himalyan geoogy dehradun.248001 uttranchal mobile 09412956456

this site is awsome!!!

Kenta Okazaki2003-04-27 15:14:26
Animation is very great! I like Escher and mathematics. Thank You! (Please excuse my poor English...)

Kenneth-Edward Swinscoe2003-04-26 02:00:09
I've been a fan of Escher for a very long time. I'm not only a fan from Escher, but also from Salvador Dali. This is not an advertisment for my web, it is a compliment to the works from M.C. Escher, but if you take a look at my works which you can find in the gallery of my Website http://www.k-e-s-kunstmaler.com You will see in my works the respect that I have for the only real magician's of art Escher and Dali. p.s the videos are great and perfect for showing some one who dosn't no about the fine work from Escher!!!! The only language in the art's is the eye!

emiel2003-04-25 12:28:24
HI! Wie van B2B is hier allemaaal wel niet op deze site? Heel B2B loves Escher Groetjes Emiel

DAVID 2003-04-25 12:27:22
Escher is one of the best artists in the world. I like your work

Peter Jan2003-04-25 12:26:45
Grappig als je bij de five steps gaat en de hele tijd op view next picture drukt zie je de hele tijd weer hetzelfde plaatje Doei

bastiaan prins2003-04-25 12:26:16
i like the droste effect very much at finnish is it when you do next picture is that realy a small part of the picture itselve?

eva en tessa2003-04-25 12:25:57

wanda2003-04-24 15:27:31
j'adore ESCHER et déplore qu'il n'y ait pas beaucoup de sites le concernant. Merci d'avoir créé celui-ci.

Barry Cheney2003-04-24 05:59:36
I've been a fan of Escher for some time, and have always felt the strangeness of the "Picture Gallery". Your analysis and remarkable animations make me comprehend why this picture is so disturbing.
