“By keenly confronting the enigmas that surround us, and by considering and analyzing the observations that I had made, I ended up in the domain of mathematics. Although I am absolutely without training in the exact sciences, I often seem to have more in common with mathematicians than with my fellow artists.” MadeSeemsArtistCommonTeachingTrainingMathematicsFellowsMathObservationSurroundConsideringMathematicianDomainConfrontingAnalyzingEnigmaExact Sciences Author:M.

“Although I am even now still a layman in the area of mathematics, and although I lack theoretical knowledge, the mathematicians, and in particular the crystallographers, have had considerable influence on my work of the last twenty years. The laws of the phenomena around us--order, regularity, cyclical repetition, and renewals--have assumed greater and greater importance for me. The awareness of their presence gives me peace and provides me with support. I try in my prints to testify that we live in a beautiful and orderly world, and not in a formless chaos, as it sometimes seems.” WorldGivingTryingYearsStillsSometimesSeemsLastsBeautifulLawOrderSupportGreaterInfluenceAwarenessParticularAreasImportanceGive MeTwentiesMathematicsChaosPrintMathematicianRepetitionRenewalTheoreticalOrderlyRegularityLayman Author:M.
