From the Kaleidocycles box:

Best known for his strangely realistic depictions of things that defy the laws of physics, Maurits Cornelis Escher (Dutch, 1898-1972) became interested in problems of repetition and symmetry after traveling to the Alhambra, a fourteenth-century Moorish castle in Granada, Spain. Fascinated by the periodic (i.e., regularly recurrent) designs of the castle's mosaics, he began to pursue the idea-fundamental to crystallography-that a plane can be divided into uniform, interlocking figures, forming a pattern that repeats itself at set intervals, theoretically to infinity. Instead of simply combining abstract shapes to produce a pattern, however, Escher decided to use more meaningful figures-shells and starfish, angels and devils, for example-images that could be connected not just graphically but also conceptually.
