Esher never said he was 'coxetering'. Such a British thing to assume a thing like that. It was actually the other way around. Coxeter was 'eshering'. Esher was making his brilliant own art gathering inspiration from many mathematicians. On his own terms. Like great artists do. He searched for inspiration and then elaborated on it. And by doing so he on his turn inspired many others. Esher inspired both artists, mathematicians and culture. What a brilliant and truly unique man he was!
It's not just some assumption she made, Coxeter said it himself (see the documentary here on TH-cam called "The Man Who Saved Geometry" to hear it from the late old man's own mouth)! Are you calling him a liar? Besides, Escher was a genius but so was Coxeter. Escher wasn't a professional mathematician, he needed help from Coxeter sometimes and thankfully he got it. Don't discount the influence he got as well as gave just because he was a great man.

Thanks, great lecture by Professor Hart! GEB showed me some of the lovely work of Escher for the first time. :)
Wonderful presentation. Thank you very much
Captivating lecture. Thank you.
