Citat:ATHENS.- The Herakleidon Museum presents the third phase of the exhibition “From Drawing to Masterpiece”, highlighting the “Unknown Escher”. The third phase will be on display until August 2nd 2009. All of the works of Phase III are exhibited for the first time in a museum environment.
Unknown Escher refers to the artistic side of the artist which was never seen by the general public. Few Escher admirers know that he drew nudes, stamps, a cemetery hall mural, as well as textile patterns. He also decorated a Postal Office in Holland.
Most of the exhibited works never became final prints because either the artist lost interest in them or the project was stopped. Of great interest are Escher's portraits and self-portraits. These extremely rare drawings give us a more complete understanding of Escher as an artist.
