It’s been said here already, but I’ve also loved his work for almost forty years and have never seen an actual video of the genius M.C. Esher. I did not even know one existed. Thank you for sharing.
Known his work for MANY years, (many decades, actually) but never before heard the sound of his voice, or seen him in motion, at work in the studio. Thank you for your research and for posting this.
Brilliant to see and hear this artistic genius at work and talking. Have loved his work since I discovered it in the early seventies but have never come across anything on film about him and with him in it. Also have started dabbling in wood carving and long been an admirer of the superb craftsmanship of Japanese wood block print artists and carvers. Seeing Escher actually carving his designs (into wood or lino) was inspirational. What a talent. To see his works emerge from his print making is magic. Makes you proud to be a human seeing his work. Thank you, thank you, thank you. CP
Fourty years ago I took a bunch of mescaline and had a wild M.C. Escher trip. It was very serious and a little frightening. This film was marvelous. Thank you. ❤️
I recently attended an Escher exhibit at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk. It was amazing to say the least. My twelve year old daughter enjoyed it so much she asked to attend once more before the exhibit moved on to another museum. Support your local museum.
Don’t pay any any attention to any criticisms, it is an excellent mixture of predictability and novel surprises. The triplet rythms in last beat, sometimes a sound effect on 4th beat, falling portaiento bass, the synth sounds appealing also, plus the weird warped sound imitating a guitar. If you developed a lot pd such music (with the same effort towards novelty) and then joined them together it would be very striking.
@@Murd3rcatI used Escher & Emes alongside my Prelude No. 17 which is also on TH-cam. This led me to find your mini-documentary and it impressed me that you composed the music.
Wonderful seeing Mr. Escher striking some of the prints, and actually doing some cutting with the tools. Thank you for sharing this documentary. My dear brother liked his work, but applied that sort of obsession to making pen & ink sketches of wildlife - Zebra mares with their newborn foals, tiger cubs, horses napping in the shade. He studied hundreds of photos, but his drawings were ORIGINALs, not copies of any photographs. He started by drawing a composition very lightly, Free hand, by pencil. People had to examine them closely to see they were pen strokes, not photo prints. He also played guitar... Duane Eddie, Ventures, Chet Atkins, Johnnie Winter, Clapton, and Antonio Lauro... Guess I'll have to share some of those, not just mention...
As a teen I had a print of Escher's work "Relativity" on my bedroom wall. Some of his art looked like fractals, before the word "fractals" was even a thing. Genius, ya know...what else can you call it? I did not know there were any recorded interviews with him until now. Thanks for this!
I have loved his art forever, and seen the original prints at a museum. This is a very special look at him and his art. He is a interdimensional traveler, through time and space. Sharing views into another world, just beyond our reach. Love your synth music, added a lot to the feeling I get, when viewing his works. I am also a synthesizer player, and abstract artist, and related to, his talk about order vs chaos. Thanks very much for sharing this, and best wishes for your continued success.
Like a lot of the people who made comments on here, I too have been affected by the magic of M.C. Escher. I was another of the introspective young people who were drawn in to the head-bending patterns. I have note books with my amateur attempts of his iconic pieces. The hands that drew each other, the mirrored face in the sphere held at arm’s length, the fish that evolved into birds, and the stairs that wound into forever. I love the comments he made about order and chaos, and I think the music that accompanied this film is spot on. So cool to see this. Thanks. ✌️
I think I was 17 or 18 the first time I experienced this great artist's work. It was just two prints, The hand drawing itself and The endless staircase on the castle parapets. I have since seen; many of his extraordinary master pieces and they always affect me the same, with a sense of wonder and a strong desire to be there, in the art; as if it's a real locality. Quite disorientating. This is the first time seeing the man himself, I will be watching this again and again. Thank You. Blessings.
A phenomenal man. I was so inspired by his work in my youth. His work was stunning and thought provoking. The way his mind worked was just amazing to me. What an absolute treat to see him work and to hear him speak about his own inspirations. Thank you so much for sharing!
This was a blessing to find, thankyou. I was amazed when Escher said he was only average at drawing in school. Escher's work shows when you focus and put the time and effort into something, just what is possible. Always inspiring!
I live in an 'M.C. Escher' house (Los Angeles.) If you walk out the front door down the ten steps off my porch, then around the side up four steps on the walk, and then into the back door, you will always walk down ten steps and up only 4. In China (Huangshan, Anhui near Hangzhou) I photographed two sets of steps right next to each other. They appear to have the same heights but one has something like 5-6 steps while the one next to it something like 8. (I could find the photo.) Because there are more steps the one side reaches the bottom farther away. As in Escher very subtle changes pile up to make seemingly inexplicable changes.
Escher takes us into a realm where we stretch our perceptions beyond the 3rd dimension where a multi-faceted world exists which shows the inter-connectedness of all things. . . For me this goes way beyond art. . . It´s pure magic. . .
ESCHER, WOW! Wow! Wow!..always thought the man was a genius, so so talented, he had a super imagination and consciousness in a very bleak and un-concious world, can't say nuff good things about this true artist, one of my most favs. First time I've ever seen my fav artist alive so I'm amazed feel like I've almost met him so thanks very much for this short film :-) big thumbs up like. WOW!..now I wonder how much more footage I can find of him? I never knew he was on film? ARTISFOREVERYONE!..your welcome.
It's fascinating to watch him in action, and to listen to him! I totally agree that if he were alive today, he might be at risk for mis-diagnosis. However, he doesn't appear to be too troubled about his drive to create art, so I don't think it would have actually happened, unless he was miserable personally. He was an absolute genius. Thanks for sharing this great video.
Just brilliant, why has it taken so long to see a genius at work. Always admired his work, strangely always thought they were ink drawings, knowing they are woodcuts even more respect. Thank you for uploading and sharing.
I remember in high school as a teenager in the seventies and introducing my Hungarian art teacher to his work and l believe that these clips were available from the Canadian film board which supplied films to schools. My teacher ordered the film for the class to watch.. Posters and illustrated large paper back books of his works were popular at the same time as his life was winding down.,at least he got to enjoy some success before his death . But considering how intricate those wood cuts are and how beautiful and mind bending his prints are,he reminds me of a cross between DaVinc and Dali.
I first saw Mr. Escher’s work on the cover of the first album by the English band Mott the Hoople in very late 1969. I also believe Mick Jagger asked him to design a cover for The Rolling Stones album Let It Bleed, but Mr. Escher turned him down.
I believe I was five years old when I first saw one of his works. It was not until high school when I rediscovered his art. For all those years in between, I was certain that I dreamt seeing the drawing when I was younger. I always had that impossible image in my head; for sure, it had to be a dream… or nightmare.
Thanks for sharing this short film. Like every twenty-year-old in the 70's I had an Escher poster on my wall, and I really only knew him from a few extremely well-known amazing and mesmerizing images but I never knew of his other even more beautiful work.
He wasn't a great draughtsman, but he found the abstract through consistency, & created wonderfull art. Which doesn't go to prove much. Perhaps that there are no rules.
Thank you for this beautiful film-document: I think this master was quite underestimated in his own time, at metaphysical level as well as his work as artist.
I bought a "Page A Day " calendar of Escher's work some years back.It was on sale & I liked his style though I'd never heard of him before. A lot of his stuff is quite similar to Zentangling( Imo anyway)
Thank you very much for sharing this priceless testimony of a man and his work from a time when people who belonged to the human race could be identified by the difference they made between order and cahos, good and evil, light and shadow, despite how close they might tend to be, all caught in a Moebius loop. A permanent mise en abîme.
Yes like some of the others here I know about his work for years I think back in 1972 or so his work start appearing on postcards in “head” shops And I slowly got to knows work better about 20 years ago I bought his hardback book or a hardback book about him with all of his drawings and etchings in wood work in it and but like the others I never heard his voice before I’m very thankful to hear him his voice and you can see his personality and just fascinating video here thank you so much for that I’ve always been curious about what he sounded like thank you so much
nothing, singularity, regularity, movement, transformation, evolution, infinity - if you can capture each and all in a single entity that is an Escher for me.
Always loved his work and mind . I can only draw accurately whilst tripping , the monks that illustrated the Lindesfarn Gospel Carpet Pages and Esher were also tripping in my humble opinion .
This is a revealing portrait of Escher in an interview, at work and of some of his work. I just found a puzzle of Escher called Relativity which is one of my favs by him. Escher's use of tessellations are on the factors that made his work so interesting.

I would have tried harder in my youth if I'd known that such a focus were even remotely possible. Instead, i held myself to lower standards. His artistry was it's own epitome.
Yea lol. My way of producing art and painting is totally opposite of his approach. He’s so technical and precise and I just throw paint around abstract as possible creating layers on layers until I start seeing something. It works for me
It’s been said here already, but I’ve also loved his work for almost forty years and have never seen an actual video of the genius M.C. Esher. I did not even know one existed. Thank you for sharing.
Same here.
And the same here.
Same here. He was and still is a big influence for me. A truly amazing and inspiring artist.
Tottaly
I first saw his "Circular limits" in the book "The Large, the Small, and the Human Mind" by Sir Roger Penrose I was caught.
The man, the Myth, the Legend. M C Escher. My first and the largest inspiration I've ever had yet to date.
This man is the reason I became a professional artist...absolute genius...
This man is the reason why I became no professional artist ... absolute genius ... and nice guy
This man is the reason, period...

Just saw your short film on Escher. Thank you for sharing ! Hearing and seeing the artist, wow! And doing his wood cuts and printing, fascinating!
Ik had hem nog niet horen spreken. Leuk. Al 35 jaar een liefhebber van zijn werk.
Kom net kijken, maar volgens mij is deze M.C. Escher een combinatie van een genie en een legende

The drawing of the mirror sphere is absolutely incredible. The one with the hand holding the sphere.. insane
Love this video. I've been a fan for 55 years. I have most of his available works.
Such meticulous attention to detail...wow!
Who knows, in another life Escher could have been a Moorish architect...
Fascinating Art Work! Unique and Mind blowing!!!!

Very well chosen sounds to this topic of infinite arranged chaos.
Thank you @Justin!!!
What amazes me is how small he actually worked. Look for footage of gallery shows of his work.

WOW ! WOW !!! A glimpse into M. C. Escher !! Wow !
Amazing video and amazing music. Can you leave a link for the song plays on the background until the video ends?
I do not anymore, if I do it's buried. So much of my old music are relics of technology. I did a poor job of managing my data.
that he carved these shapes is wonderful
Excellent Artist in person thanks
2:15 - Some items in the figure have a crystalline structure at the atomic level. In other words, they are not so chaotic...
So nice. The embodiment of nature's inherent ever-unfolding quality of balance
Loved it !!!! Esher inspires !!! Try one on a eggshell . You will appreciate his genius!
I will have to look into that and see what I come up with, thank you for the suggestion. I'm gald you liked the video.
What die he LOVE about the Italian landscape?.?.?!! He LOVED The Weather! Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca
Excellent film thanks
Yes like some of the others here I know about his work for years I think back in 1972 or so his work start appearing on postcards in “head” shops
And I slowly got to knows work better about 20 years ago I bought his hardback book or a hardback book about him with all of his drawings and etchings in wood work in it and but like the others I never heard his voice before I’m very thankful to hear him his voice and you can see his personality and just fascinating video here thank you so much for that I’ve always been curious about what he sounded like thank you so much
For Escher and cosmology/mathematics, I also recommend on UTube: "2/2 The Art of the Impossible: MC Escher and Me . ." etc.
nothing, singularity, regularity, movement, transformation, evolution, infinity - if you can capture each and all in a single entity that is an Escher for me.
Always loved his work and mind .
I can only draw accurately whilst tripping ,
the monks that illustrated the Lindesfarn Gospel Carpet Pages and Esher were also tripping in my humble opinion .
My geometry teacher showed us this in class! nice job.
Lilianne Hargreaves thank you
awesome! we just made a shirt as a tribute to him
This is a revealing portrait of Escher in an interview, at work and of some of his work. I just found a puzzle of Escher called Relativity which is one of my favs by him. Escher's use of tessellations are on the factors that made his work so interesting.

I never knee Mr. Escher was also a printmaker so this is cool to learn. I wonder if any of his blocks still exist or were for sale?
The musical accompanyment is execrable
It seems like his work speaks to the subconscious mind, that other mind, powerful stuff
