Escher

[Мастер]

I downloaded an Escher screen saver, to run on my Windows computers.

I like the pictures, but they are not high resolution enough. If I use the "fit to screen" option, they look really chunky.

Need to look for a higher resolution version, or figure out how to make my own screen saver.

Ha! Mathematicians and Escher.

Doesn't Windows come with a slide show screen saver?
You just have to point it to the correct folder.

I'm sure bigger pics are to be found all over the 'net, even though the stuff is copyrighted.

! Thanks, I will try that.

Yea, that said, some of Escher's work is extremely hard to find in high res. I just so happened to have looked about a week ago for some of his specific art to spruce up the desktop. Ended up with "infinite circle" and even that was only in 900x900. :(

Here is a link for Google Images search for Escher with "Large Images" selected from the options tab. Generally the larger the original image the higher resolution it is. See what you find.
