Tessellation or tiling is a pattern of plane figures that fills a space with no overlaps and no gaps. Tessellations are also known as parts of the space or of other surfaces. Tessellations frequently appeared in the art of M. C. Escher, who was inspired by studying the Moorish use of symmetry in the Alhambra tiles during a visit in 1922. Tessellations are seen throughout art history, from ancient architecture to modern art.
Maurits Cornelis Estcher (1898-1972) is one of the worlds most famous graphic artists. His art is known to millions of people worldwide. As a dutch graphic artist, he is best known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs and mezzo tints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations or infinity, architecture and tessellation. .
