11. Conclusion Observing the creative, genuine, and imaginative art of M.C. Escher was a privilege. Using the styles that he used such as tessellations and metamorphosis, I created a piece of art. I am glad that Escher did an act of kindness towards his Jewish friend, Jessurun de Mesquita following the Holocaust. This proved that Escher was a caring and loving man in addition to all his other characteristics. Overall, researching about Escher has enlightened me to how artistic one can be.
