M.C. Escher-Adventures in perception pt.1

A lovely film showing some of Escher's finest work, slowly to creepy music- a special treat is at the beginning of "part 3"- a very brief look at Escher in his studio just a while before he died, drawing, carving a block, printing...a rarity screenshot from 16mm- enjoy!

This is a somewhat rare film at this point- there's a great one thats an hour long with much about his life and early sketches of Southern Italy- hope someone posts that someday.

Escher's world... full of bizarre surrealism of sublime mathematical precision.. bigger than life - fractal-like mozaics, impossible objects, natural and cultural impressions, good vs. evil themes, always in that unmistakable evocative style.

I also like the music.. a lot. The whole of this video does Escher's world great justice.

(almost makes me feel proud to be Dutch, but he really was a Frisian ;) )

Something tells me he hated his drafting teacher.

this is so hard I am trying to study drawing, I can't understand how he could design these shapes so precise this is math and art pushed to the limits

Wonderful find!

Yes, RobinofSactown, the one with Southern Italy is The Fantastic World of MC Escher. You're right, it is a pretty good one.
