"M.C. Escher Memorial Coin II"
"M.C. Escher Memorial Coin II" is a serigraph that I did to honor the artist and printmaker who was a tremendous inspiration in my art life. I was so very fortunate to have spent time with him in Holland in June of 1970. I went to his home where I met his wife and he showed me his studio and the cherry blocks for his last print "Ring Snakes." The size of this print is 14 inches round. I have sold a number of them and the edition size is a mere 50. You can see photographs of him on my other web site. His eyes are haunting and remind me of one of his quotes that I love. He said "if only you knew what I have seen in the darkness of night. It has almost driven me mad trying to get them on paper". I might be paraphrasing a bit, but that is the gist of it. He made 480 different prints in his life and his prints are all so wonderful...it blows my mind as to what he could have produced had he lived past 1972. Escher, thank you!
