Do you mean Escher's *paintings* or his (admittedly) sometimes mind-bending lino-woodcuts? Even to create some of the strange perspective effects he achieved, he needed to invent an entirely new class of tessellations. Which are mathematical to their core. I think that's what Travholt was trying to point out when he said "structured."

My idea of an actively unstructured artist would be Jackson Pollock. People keep thinking of him as the archetype of 20th century Abstract Expressionism. Hard to see how splattering a floor with orange juice and paint could be called lasting art, no matter how cathartic it might have been.
