Escher in 2024

2024 has come to an end and it has been another special and unforgettable year. These final days of the year, we look back on all the great exhibitions and programmes that we have organised. The year started with the exhibition Just Like Escher, in which we showed how contemporary artists and designers challenge Escher's ideas. During the summer, our newest addition to the collection, the White cat, was on display and there was a competition where everyone could submit their self-made cat artwork. Visitors could also enjoy two summer exhibitions: Becoming Escher and Maura Biava. Currently, the exhibitions on Julie de Graag and on a special donation containing two unknown drawings by M.C. Escher are still on view. In addition, we have shared as many stories as possible about the person, life and art of Escher through our social media channels, our website and the in-depth pieces we write. All the wonderful images we shared this year can be found in this special animation. We thank everyone for their support over the past year and hope to continue to inspire you with our stories and images in 2025!

Julie de Graag

Julie de Graag

2024 marks the centenary of the death of Julie de Graag. This talented contemporary of M.C. Escher managed in her woodcuts to capture the essence of plants, animals and people with just a few details. The two artists shared a great love of nature, closely observing the world around them, and depicting it in their prints, each in their own unique way.

A Mysterious Landscape: Pettorano sul Gizio

Escher’s Belvedere (1958) is a favourite with our visitors. The print has a magical power that touches millions of Escher fans around the world. It is a mix of completely different elements. Not only the foreground of the print has been a mystery, the landscape in the background was too.

Escher, an extensive correspondence between the people involved and family photos of the unveiling of the tile tableau.
