Over the course of his life, Escher created a tremendous number of images in several different media. He was skilled at the woodcut (the cutting with gauges in a side-grained block of wood, usually pear), lithographs, and wood-engraving (engraving with burns on an end-grained block). His subject matter can be divided into the following categories.



Polyhedra


Infinity


Knots


Perspective


Mirrors


Impossible Architecture
