    This exhibition explored the graphic art of Maurits Cornelius (M. C.) Escher (1898-1972), the 20th-century Dutch master recognized as a predecessor of op art. A cross section of the artist’s works, including several of his lesser known early works and original preparatory drawings, were featured. The Portland Art Museum was the organizing institution.
