Who's that artist that paints those optical illusion pictures? I think he was German and his name begins with 'E'. The picture I remember is of the staircase never-ending. You thing you see the bottom but it's the beginning again.

Thanks Yvie and Dove, that's the chap
wasn't Escher born in the Netherlands?
Yes Escher was Dutch
Walter Ehrenstein was a psychologist - he's best known for studying how optical illusions work

Mark, are you thinking of making a staircase like that?
"Escher, Escher, all fall down!" [drat those tricky staircases!].
