This is a short that I did for art class with some of my music to it. The video clips are originally part of M.C. Escher Documentary (by CINEMEDIA-NPS-RNTV) [1999]. This is a shorter version of the video. Thank you and enjoy!

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.

I first saw his "Circular limits" in the book "The Large, the Small, and the Human Mind" by Sir Roger Penrose I was caught.
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...
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.
The drawing of the mirror sphere is absolutely incredible. The one with the hand holding the sphere.. insane
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
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!
The man, the Myth, the Legend. M C Escher. My first and the largest inspiration I've ever had yet to date.
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. ❤️
It was blue meanies for me , and I realised that Escher had taken acid or something like it 👍
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!
Found a book about Escher in high school, and was fascinated. His work is mind-bending! 😵💫
Love this video. I've been a fan for 55 years. I have most of his available works.
The morphing thing at the beginning is so cool 🤩
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...
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 think the teacher judging him might have been average at best .
What amazes me is how small he actually worked. Look for footage of gallery shows of his work.
Who knows, in another life Escher could have been a Moorish architect...
Fascinating Art Work! Unique and Mind blowing!!!!
So amazing watching M.C.Escher at work on his woodcuts!I sat here with my jaw dropped the whole clip!Thanks for posting!
Me too I was very happy when I stumbled across the footage
Escher looks exactly the way I imagined him. His workroom looks exactly the way I imagined it. He even sounds exactly the way I thought he would! ♥️
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.
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.
The music is wonderful. The crazy portamento falling to the bass suddenly was so unusual. Thank you for uploading it.
thank you
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 CZcams. This led me to find your mini-documentary and it impressed me that you composed the music.
Very well chosen sounds to this topic of infinite arranged chaos.
Thank you @Justin!!!
I did not know he used the wood-block print method in his work. Just brilliant. I love this guy...Thank you for posting this -subscribed!
Wild imagination and talent.
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.
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. . .
Well put.
Such meticulous attention to detail...wow!
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!
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. ✌️
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.
Incredable... amazing -tnx CZcams 4 suggesting this video
Excellent presentation of a complex subject. Thank you, YT.
Hermoso poder descubrir y adentrarnos en la personalidad de semejante artista. Gracias 🙏
Never knew that M.C. Escher was left handed. Btw: thanks for the upload. A really interesting video indeed..
I have loved his stuff for 50 years
Ver al maestro trabajar es IMPRESIONANTE.
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.
Thank you so much, this man is a missed genius.
I am delighted to visit a display of his work in Edinburgh this month.
I would like to do that sometime. maybe some day
Thank you SO much, I had no idea Escher was a relatively contemporary; so exciting to see the actual artist!
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.
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.
The Master's (of Ceremonies) wonderful P.O.V. ....
Thanks for this! He’s a brilliant artist and I have never seen a film of him..... cheers x
His perception is amazing.
My favorite artist of all time!!!
Mine too!!!!!
Awesome, thanks for posting it!🙏
Book..Escher on Escher..
M.C . explains the fine details...deep.. A simple wood carver..
that he carved these shapes is wonderful
So nice. The embodiment of nature's inherent ever-unfolding quality of balance
Thank you so much. My favourite painting is 'Drawing Hands' by him
Excellent film thanks
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.
WOW ! WOW !!! A glimpse into M. C. Escher !! Wow !
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.
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.
Excellent Artist in person thanks
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.
What die he LOVE about the Italian landscape?.?.?!! He LOVED The Weather! Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca
My geometry teacher showed us this in class! nice job.
Lilianne Hargreaves thank you
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.
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 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.
Love the music. Super cool!
Omgosh that is very nice of you to say!
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.
Very cool music. In looking for the artist I discovered it's you, the video maker. Well done.
Wow, thank you so much that means a lot to me.
@@Murd3rCat You didn't make this video or add the music so don't pretend you did....... This video is a short clip taken from a much longer Dutch documentary from the 1980s.
@@hansolo2121 There's no need for attacking others compliments on the post, you made it clear with your original comment that there is an original longer version of this documentary, now please, leave the guests to my channel be so they can watch in peace.
@@hansolo2121 the music is original, I only claimed rights to editing. You are weird. Take your confrontational ass on…
The great and genius legend of M.C. Escher
you do some really great art doumentaries/idk what like "classic art mix tape sesh" videos and the art scene on yt is desperate for a type like you fr i hope you see this
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.
awesome! we just made a shirt as a tribute to him
I love the music.
thank you
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 .
Very good film well done. Exhibition of his work in Edinburgh until 27 September 2015
ty
For Escher and cosmology/mathematics, I also recommend on UTube: "2/2 The Art of the Impossible: MC Escher and Me . ." etc.
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
They should make a real movie about M.C Escher with an actor portraying him and everything!
Yes, that would be wonderful.
I never realized they were woodcuts. 🤯
Fantastic!
The musical accompanyment is execrable
Wow! Just wow...
Hey everyone, I just posted a new video of Jackson Pollock on my channel! If there is an artist, you recommend I make a video for please leave it in the comments! Here is the link: czcams.com/video/AUd711Mmus0/video.html
nothing, singularity, regularity, movement, transformation, evolution, infinity - if you can capture each and all in a single entity that is an Escher for me.
music reminds me of Boards of Canada, good job!
There's a nice story about this friendly, yet very formalistic man. When his art was very much in want during the 60's and 70's he was asked to design an album cover for one of the long playing records of the Rolling Stones. In the proces of making this there was an occassion where Mick Jagger, who was then on the top of fame, a real world star (which had more meaning in those days then now) had a tete a tete with mr. Escher. Escher's first name is Martin. Jagger said something like: "Well Martin, you did a wonderful job" to (the much older) Escher. Who retorted, "thank you very much, but to you it is Mister Escher". If I remembered well Jagger was a personal fan of Escher's work, that was the reason behind the commission for that design.
Never heard this story before but yes the arrogance of “ mick “ would not have been appreciated by Mijnheer Escher .
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.
Wow - blow my mind - thank you - OVERCOMING OPPOSITES - THE GEOMETRIC WISDOM OF ALL AGES!
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
Not only a mind to see the world’s continuity but also the talent to express it!
What a genius...with an obsession.
Imagine if MC Escher had access to a 3D printer.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I want to find the full documentary now! I also enjoyed your music. Did you use the Pocket Operator PO-32 KO? I thought that I recognized some of the FX.
I used fruity loops and made it about 15 years ago.
FANTASTIC.!
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.
It seems like his work speaks to the subconscious mind, that other mind, powerful stuff
i watched this video today in school and i really like the music (:
TY soooo much!
MC Escher is going up the stairs and going down the stairs!
Amazing
Everything is connected ❤
very well done!!
TYVM!
Huh. Order out of chaos. Where have we heard THAT before…
