Escher had no Photoshop and no Illustrator to play with

its exquised

Inded, it is totly esquised. Iv nevr ceen a betr wurk ov artistic befoer.

Escher was Photoshop and Illustrator.

these look shopped, i can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time

it’s totally ’shopped. the shadows are all off.

I’ve not seen the Escher originals but the prints have always looked the same. The same ones I had in a wall calendar 20 years ago. I doubt it very much that they are photoshopped

Are you retards people??? Go and see them for real, escher is amazing!!! No photoshop, nothing digital, brains and talent only, damn you see something you can’t draw and you always come up with the photoshop on your mind

Fake. Totally Escher’d. I can tell by the stippling and from seeing quite a few Escher’s in my time.

You people are the product of hovercraft parents and retardation. This guy was making art in the 40’s. You know nothing of art or art history, everything done creatively is not from some Adobe product. Why bother explaining read a F*cking art history book. Dummies.

In this post, people who don’t understand humor…

I agree with STail, they are soo Escher’d, its unreal.
srsly guys, look!

Of course these aren’t photoshopped. And this youtube video proves it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2b1D5w82yU

Cthulhu, maybe you posted the wrong link?

Here’s how you can tell it’s shopped. Take an art program (Photoshop for example) - zoom in and in and in until you are at 1600 zoom or so… you’ll notice it is ALL pixelated. Everything he did was clearly a photoshop job.

listen, the people who say it is photoshoped are just trying to be a**holes. They don’t really think that these are photoshoped. they just suck.

nigga stop trollin’
escher wouldnt use photoshop, thats blasphemy. even if he did his work would be the exact same stuff, but in color, or even worse.
you guys are the people who blame your abundant suckage on the tools not technique

shopped

escher wouldn’t use jpg as format.Too much artefacts.Too much loss of detail

def shopped
and sorry muh nigga, there wasnt any photoshop back then
LEARN UR HISTORIES

wow, im moving to canada

Maurits Cornelis Escher (17 June 1898 – 27 March 1972), usually referred to as M.C. Escher (pronounced [ˈɛsjər]), was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically-inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations.

In 1987, Thomas Knoll, a PhD student at the University of Michigan, began writing a program on his Macintosh Plus to display grayscale images on a monochrome display. This program, called Display, caught the attention of his brother John Knoll, an Industrial Light & Magic employee, who recommended Thomas turn it into a full-fledged image editing program. Thomas took a six month break from his studies in 1988 to collaborate with his brother on the program, which had been renamed ImagePro.[4] Later that year, Thomas renamed his program Photoshop and worked out a short-term deal with scanner manufacturer Barneyscan to distribute copies of the program with a slide scanner; a “total of about 200 copies of Photoshop were shipped” this way.

Still think that his stuff was photoshopped???

Either a great sense of humour or a tiny little IQ….we will never know…we will never know

What you fail to mention is that the great artist Escher once tried sculpting one of his many paintings: Waterfall. Managing to circumvent the known laws of physics, he got the water wheel to produce over 9000 jigawatts of energy, much more than the required 1.21 jigawatts necessary for time travel. He went to the future and acquired a computer and a copy of Photoshop, travelled back to when he was young and gave them to himself, so that he could create all his great works of art, such as Waterfall.

This is immediately obvious since the paintings are clearly shopped, as previous comments have pointed out.
