How to depict infinity on paper? This was a question that exercised the minds of both M.C. Escher and Albert E. Bosman. Albert E. Bosman (1891-1961) was a multitalented engineer who was keen to make mathematics and geometry accessible. He was not only a maths teacher, but also an enthusiastic artist who drew inspiration from his area of expertise.
Bosman and Escher were neighbours in Baarn (NL) from 1944 to 1961. They shared a deep fascination with mathematical concepts and both explored limits and the finite and infinite in their work. They made abstract principles visually accessible to a wider audience.
For the first time, their work is being shown side by side in M.C. Escher & Albert E. Bosman: A Mathematical Connection at Escher in The Palace. The presentation fills a whole room and has been integrated into the permanent exhibition featuring key works by M.C. Escher.
On view until 15 June at Escher in The Palace!
