M.C. Escher Kaleidocycles - Softcover
A Kaliedocycle is a three-dimensional ring made from a chain of solid figures enclosed or bonded by four triangles. These kaleidocycles are adaptations of Escher's two-dimensional images of fish, angels, flowers, people, etc., transformed into uniform, interlocking, three-dimensional objects whose patters wrap endlessly. Kaleidocycles contains a 48-page book with over 80 reproductions and diagrams, assembly instructions, and a fascinating discussion of the geometric principles and artistic challenges underlying Escher's designs and their transformation to three-dimensional models; and seventeen die-cut, scored, three-dimensional models (11 kaleidocycles and 6 geometric solids) Cigar box-style packaging, size: 9 1/2 x 12 1/4 x 1 1/2".

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Text/NEW & Bright. 1977 First Edition, 2nd Printing. Softcover/Fine. Kaliedocycle is a 3-dimensional ring made from a chain of solid figures enclosed or bonded by four triangles. The term "kaleidocycle", coined in the 1950s by Wallace Walker by combining the Greek words for kalos (beautiful), eidos (form) & kyklos (ring). This enthralling collaborative volume from Doris Schattschneider & Walker, transforms art work by Dutch artist M.C. Escher (1898-1972) into endlessly, reproducing, 3-dimensional, geometric objects as examples what you can do. 43 pgs, b/w photos, w/17 easy-to-assemble paper sculptures, is a guide to mathematic principles & artistic challenges underlying creation of geometric solids.
