- Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: Roger Penrose and Jon Chapman - M. C. Escher - Artist, Mathematician, Man
M.C. Escher is known as the mathematician's (and hippie's) favourite artist. But why? And was Escher, a man who claimed he knew no mathematics, really a mathematical genius?
In this lecture Roger Penrose and Jon Chapman not only show why Escher has won the artistic and mathematical hearts of mathematicians, but also why his art is inspiring both artists and mathematicians today, as captured in Jon's brilliant updating of Escher's 'Picture Gallery' to the new mathematics building in Oxford.
Please note the BBC film is not available on this film.
Learned about him in High School when studying architecture; fascinated by his works ever since!
Rest in peace
M.C. Escher
17 June 1898 ~
27 March 1972⚘
I was fascinated by Escher's art, since a young child, in the 1960s. I like Penrose's relation of his art to math. Most laymen view math as manipulating numbers, but fail to see the underlying concepts. Escher's art goes straight to the concepts !
Escher set the Second layer for thy enlightenment of our Universe of Fractals! Once scene. One fins this everywhere in all science and Arts! MWM
I’m not well educated or well spoken but I appreciate the art and math miracles and I’ve learned from what you said here well done very nice
I hope you're not putting yourself down for not having an extensive formal education or something of the like - you are indeed well educated through other means which is arguably more important in its own right, it's apparent you're open to learning and curious, and have so much to offer - we need people like you in the world!
so proud to see this thx because i always think that math and art are brothers
Isaac Newton's Principia is cover to cover drawings. Not just patterns but none the less you need the art absolutely to explain the math

I love all that this man did in that time that he lived , I’m so glad he didn’t go to war !
What a fantastic presentation. Thank you.
Thanks for holding this under-educated math enthusiast's hand through these brilliant explanations and extrapolations. This video deepened my appreciation of a subject I've enjoyed all my life.
Amazing insight
Cool explanation!! I never understood Lenstra's paper until I saw this video! I am now a fan of Jon Chapman
could you please make subtitles enable for submitting
very cool thanxx
Brilliant. Reminds me of “Godel,Escher,Bach”
I certainly enjoy anything by this man E C Escher who to me is a great artist that wasn’t so well known to soon but to late !
classic & timeless=]
He utilized the Holographic Mind’s Eye! Shine Bright in this universe of Fractals ! MWM
Wow great video !
This is amazing great work!!
i love escher , have many (most) of his prints in reproductions and i'm 80% done building my retirement home in the philippines inspired by him and frank lloyd wright out of concrete. i've never built a house before but spent years doing it in my imagination while driving my 18 wheeler over the road as a truck driver. i kind of overdid it strength wise as far as rebar and concrete composition , but not being a structural engineer i wanted to 'cover my butt' in this regard 😃🤣i plan to laminate and frame all my escher works and hang them throughout my home to enjoy as i grow older.
Always respect someone who follows through on their plans . Congratulations.

i like the windups more than the pitch
Escher art is as inconceivable as the mumbling of the presenter ! This guy surly can drive his usual students crazy when giving his usual lectures by mumbling along while alternating the volume and loudness of his voice!
I had a really hard time with his voice being quieter than the sound of his clothing, the paper rustling, and the flipping of the overhead sheets. Having a paper-y voice does not lend to he lecture, while rustling paper.
Shows me what I have lost. A reminder ,place marked and set in a world of illusion.
1:04:53 could anybody please tell me what mathematical discipline is Mr. Penrose talking about? I am not a native english speaker so i have some difficulties to get that names.
cohomology, algebraic topology
I drew a pretty good Escher picture years ago. I used dots to make an eye. 😂
It’s all crystalline structures
Cute. Thanks, Jon Chapman, Roger Penrose
29:53 - He's so satisfied, he has a swelled head! :)
Damn... is there *anything* Paul Bettany can't do? ;)
Thanks, Profs. Chapman and Penrose. Thoroughly fascinating. If all of mathematics were taught by people who find such joy and playfulness in the subject, mathematical literacy would be commonplace and shell-shocked survivors of poorly-taught maths would a thing of the past.
Yawn...
Can somebody tell me the software used here or the plugin please if someone knows thank you
Wolfram's Mathematica?
Sacred Geometry
Why can't these supposed high quality universities enable the closed captions for their videos?
Some people are DEAF out (hear). No they can't be switched on unless the presenter enables it from their end.
When we can we do and in the case of most student lectures we correct the auto captions. However, sometimes CZcams auto captions don't work, maybe for reasons of copyright. We are trying to sort it and maybe one day soon they will appear.
It's pretty simplistic. Escher tapped into fractals, in a more definite form than Pollack
8:00 - here, the introductions and a cigarette can take 8 minutes from your lifetime.
@30:40 would be an awesome screen saver.
For the longest time that's actually what I knew the original Escher drawing from. And yes, it was quite awesome :D
His work led to the Iconic Holographic Rod’s & Cone’s Human Behavioral modification! Add Acoustic and you have MK Ultra DARRPA@ And you have mind control

ART HUMBLES SCIENCE EVERYTIME!
I found a lecture about 4th dimension
the boy in the museum make me understand the logic driving the u.s. world policy ...!!
Is this Fibonacci?
Je suis à la recherche de la famille de l'auteur pour luis remettre ces oeuvres ou un musée de 50 ans d'âges, bien sur selon certaine condition bien entendue.
I am looking for the author's family to hand over these works or, a museum of 50 years of age, of course according to certain conditions of course.
Busco la família de l'autor per lliurar aquestes obres o un museu de 50 anys, és clar, segons certes condicions, és clar.
Sto cercando la famiglia dell'autore per consegnare queste opere o un museo di 50 anni di età, ovviamente secondo determinate condizioni, naturalmente.
Es gibt einen Fehler in diesem Bericht, wenn gesagt wird, dass er einige Drucke dieser Umgebung gemalt und geschaffen hat Weil ich in meinem Besitz 2 Werke derselben Umgebung habe, ein Öl und einen Druck
With all the mathematics you still haven't figured out how to make the pointer visible.
Mildly smart things explained painful slowly.
Maybe next time the picture used to demonstrate the mapping should be a picture of your head firmly inside your own %!&$ hole!
LENSTRA Lenstra lattices czcams.com/video/yElPICX1WB8/video.html
Interesting how the drug culture would claim symbiosis with this, when, in reality, it is pure math and geometry that would be impossible for anyone who was the slightest bit cognitively impaired. In fact you not only have to be cognitively unimpaired to understand this, you have to be of above average intellect. M.C. Escher was not drawing drug fantasies, he was drawing mathematical exercises. This painting is not a "distortion of our perceptions", it is a distortion that could occur in reality if the right math were applied. There is no difference between the mathematical concepts of this painting and the mathematical concepts behind fractals. It is interesting that, shortly after M.C. Escher's work became famous, the mathematical community popularized the exploration of fractals. Technically, most of Escher's works are less math than geometry.
The speaker who flips through the overheads with the mic placed in his clothes is extremely frustrating as a listener. The paper rustle with the plastic rustle over layer with the clothing rustling is triggering a sense of repulsion.
Isn't he a man in the first place? 0:14 ..Uhum, sorry 'Focus Thomas'! ;)
Looks like plant cells
Penrose is bad at explaining
It this actually implying M.C.E. was a mathematician? lmfao because he wasn't... might want to check your facts, OXFORD
Escher was certainly not a professional mathematician and he always denied any mathematical ability. However his pictures show a deep fascination with mathematical themes. us mathematicans generally regard him as "mathematics' ambassador to the arts".
Penrose is not a good lecturer. Ruins good material
Mathmatics is one of the most boring subjects ever invented.
For people with I.Q.s under 130.
What the fxxx is this?! Who's idea was it to have a 1hr 11m speech on MCE delivered by some guy with a THICK ANNOYING DISTRACTING HALTING FRENCH ACCENT?!
Nothing is more annoying than a xenophobic guitar hero millennial who writes his comments in capitals to show his uncontrolled anger to random people on CZcams.
