Wonder Is The Salt Of The Earth.

Simplicity And Order Are, If Not The Principal, Then Certainly The Most Important Guidelines For Human Beings In General.

A Woman Once Rang Me Up And Said, 'mr. Escher, I Am Absolutely Crazy About Your Work. In Your Print -reptiles- You Have Given Such A Striking Illustration Of Reincarnation.' I Replied, 'madam, If That's The Way You See It, So Be It.'

Order Is Repetition Of Units. Chaos Is Multiplicity Without Rhythm.

I Try In My Prints To Testify That We Live In A Beautiful And Orderly World, And Not In A Formless Chaos, As It Sometimes Seems.

My Work Is A Game, A Very Serious Game.
