M. C. Escher -- Unsettling Left-Handed Art

Dutch artist M. C. Escher was left handed.

There are videos of him at work here and here.

His famous 1948 lithograph Drawing Hands shows a left hand drawing a right hand drawing a left hand.

Do you think Escher's creativity, and perhaps his obsessions, were related to his left-handedness?
