Answer 1

You are probably thinking of M.C. Escher. He did a 1953 poster called "Relativity", which is an interior perspective of staircases that meet at impossible angles. Also, there is a 1960 poster he did called"Ascending and Descending", which is one staircase built into the top of a building with a small tower at the corner. This staircase goes all around the top of the building and joins up to istelf again and never goes anywhere. Escher was a master of impossible illusions and optical art.

Answer 2

I think the artist you are referring to is M.C.Escher, I think either a swiss or german artist. His niche was optical illusion style art, seemingly mathematically based patterns which when combined trick the eye. www.mcescher.com is the offical website. Have fun I hope he's the guy you're looking for, if not he's a great artists anyway.
