Descriptif du lot

"My little birds, little fish and frogs cannot be described: all they ask for is to be thought through, they ask for a mode of thought that I have found to be present in only very few people. It is a kind of small philosophy that has nothing to do with literature, a pleasure in arranging forms and in giving meaning to each part of the plane. It has much more to do with music than with literature."

- M.C. Escher, letter to G.H's-Gravesande, 14 March 1940.
