While in The Hague, Netherlands last autumn, I took a few hours to look into the Escher Museum (Escher in het Paleis or Escher in the Palace). In the past I have not regarded M.C. Escher too highly, consequently I was surprised at how much I enjoyed seeing the work. I discovered how the following things that fascinated Escher also interest me: cylindrical reflections, patterns, and objects transitioning or changing within an image.

Stages of Mondrian
This past fall I had the opportunity to see several early Piet Mondrian paintings in the Gemente Museum (The Hague, The Netherlands). Although he is most famous for his later simplified Neoplastic art such as Composition with Yellow, Blue and Red, 1937-42 (on the left), I prefer his earlier works that have a concrete subject and yet contain a graph like pattern to them.
