More Than Neighbours: Albert E. Bosman & M.C. Escher
27 May 2025
How to depict infinity on paper was something that fascinated both M.C. Escher and Albert E. Bosman. Albert Bosman (1891-1961) was an engineer and maths teacher who also became an artist. Mathematics lay at the core of his work. Bosman and Escher were neighbours in Baarn (NL), where they bonded over a mutual interest in mathematical shapes, ideas and principles. The two artists made abstract principles visually accessible to a wider audience.
