Take a look at some of their paintings, and if you want to know more about them, then why not have a look on Google or Wikipedia 1. Maurits Escher 2.

Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898 - 1972) was a Dutch graphic artist who is famous for his amazing, mathematically inspired paintings. These explore concepts such as tesselations, architecture and infinity, and often contain impossible constructions. Below is a collection of some of Mr Barton's favourites. I hope you enjoy them             2. Julian Beever is an English artist who has been creating chalk drawings on pavement surfaces all around the world for over 10 years. My personal favourite are his anamorphic illusions, which are drawn in a special distortion in order to create an impression of 3 dimensions when seen from a particular viewpoint. When looking at these drawings, it is sometimes easy to forget that they are drawn on a flat surface! To visit Julian's official website, click here.
