Love M.C. Escher! Saw an exhibit by him recently. I didn’t realize that the majority of his works are block/wood/lithography prints. I just assumed they were graphite. Helped me appreciate his work on another level.

I found this out very recently myself. The fact that in addition to his geometrical masterpieces, he also dabbled in portraits made me love him even more.
