Born on June 17, 1898, in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, illustrator M.C. Escher developed a print and engraving style that distinctively played with orientation and space. Influenced by Moorish designs in Spain, works like "Day and Night" featured interlocking forms and transformation on a surreal canvas. Later embraced by both artistic and math/science communities, Escher died on March 27, 1972.
"The 'flat shape' irritates me—I feel as if I were shouting to my figures, 'You are too fictitious for me; you just lie there static and frozen together; do something, come out of there and show me what you are capable of!'"
"I have had a fine old time expressing concepts in visual terms, with no other aim than to find out ways of putting them on paper. All I am doing in my prints is to offer a report of my discoveries."
"I don't grow up. In me is the small child of my early days."
"So let us then try to climb the mountain, not by stepping on what is below us, but to pull us up at what is above us, for my part at the stars; amen."
"I have often felt closer to people who work scientifically (though I certainly do not do so myself) than to my fellow artists."
Maurits Cornelis Escher was born on June 17, 1898, in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, to Sarah and George Escher. The youngest of five brothers, Escher had an ability to visualize distinct spatial patterns from childhood, and, though not faring well in much of his earlier studies, he attended Haarlem's School for Architectural and Decorative Arts.
There, Escher decided to take up graphic arts under the recommendation of his mentor, Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. His earlier work included nudes and innovative portraiture captured in woodcuts, linoleum cuts and lithographs, such as the interconnected "Eight Heads" (1922).
Unique Perspectives
Escher traveled to the Mediterranean in the early 1920s and was profoundly influenced by the wonders of the Moor-designed Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. He met Jetta Umiker in 1923; they married the following year, going on to have three children.
Establishing a home in Rome with his family, Escher worked on engravings and prints that captured natural landscapes and architecture, startlingly playing with perspective, orientation and shadow. He also created more human-oriented work, including a 1925 rendering of his wife and several self-portraits, such as 1935's "Hand With Reflecting Sphere."
Famous Math-Oriented Art
With the rise of fascism in Italy, the Eschers relocated to Switzerland in 1935, though they soon took a maritime journey to Spain, returning to Alhambra Palace and visiting La Mezquita ("Mosque") of Cordoba as well. Escher was inspired by the structures' complex designs, and further focused his work on tessellation and repeating patterns, often featuring overlapping, interlocked images morphing into something else, as seen in his "Metamorphosis" and "Development" series.
The Eschers had moved to Belgium in 1937, but with the invasion of Nazi forces, left for Holland in 1941. He continued to create eye-opening dreamscape work such as "Up and Down" (1947), "Drawing Hands" (1948), "Gravity" (1952), "Relativity" (1953), "Print Gallery" (1956) and "Ascending and Descending" (1960). In addition to eventually becoming a lauded international artist with mounted exhibitions, Escher was embraced by mathematicians and scientists, as much of his heavily researched, precise output embodied or explored concepts around geometry, logic, space and infinity.
Death and Legacy
M.C. Escher died on March 27, 1972, in Laren, Netherlands, leaving a legacy of more than 2,000 pieces. His work has continued to be exhibited, and scholars have continued to explore the mathematical implications of his art into the 21st century. Published retrospectives include M.C. Escher: The Graphic Work and The Magic Mirror of M.C. Escher.

Seeing the success that Phoenix had this year, What do you think about building our lineup to play \"small ball\". It would accomplish a couple of things.
* It would get our best athletes on the court
With a lineup of Felton / free agent SG / Morrison / Wallace / Okafor on the court we should be able to run with anybody and we\'d have less plays where Primoz gets isolated and abused defensively.
* It would give us 2 all-star caliber players next season
Gerald Wallace would have monster numbers in this type of wide open offense, and you saw what Felton did in the 2nd Phoenix game last season, he was every bit as good as Steve Nash.
* and it would put fans in the seats
The Phoenix game as an example was arguably the most entertaining game of the season that the Bobcats played. They lost 128 - 125 ( too lazy to look it up right now ) but it was by far the most fun. Those kind of run and gun shootouts will put some fans in the seats and maybe get us a nationally televised game or two this season.
What do you think?

It took three days and two different months to decide it, but the Badlands Bass Bandits finally wrapped up their season Oct. 20 with the completion of their 2012 Classic Championship. The Classic was scheduled for the weekend of Sept. 15-16 at Lake Sakakawea State Park. It marked the first time the Bandits had chosen Lake Sakakawea for their finale.
Robert Reinbold, of Timber Lake, S.D.. outdueled season points leader and defending Classic Champion Marty Mantz of Center on Day 1. Reinbold brought a three bass limit weighing 8.11 pounds to the scale. Mantz was a close second with a catch of 7.82 pounds. Jeff Wetzel of Mandan was third at 6.96 pounds.
The weather turned windy and cool for Day 2 of the Classic. The uncooperative elements limited access to many fishing areas on Lake Sakakawea, particularly for shallow drafting bass boats. Reinbold protected his lead during Day 2 with an excellent catch of 11.15 pounds. Once again Mantz was second, 8.78 pounds; and Wetzel third with 5.85 pounds. Due to the weather limiting full participation, it was decided to add a third day to the Classic.
