Perhaps the most instantly recognizable graphic artist in history, M.C. Escher tirelessly produced eye-bending lithographs and woodcuts that played with the viewers' sense of perspective and dimension. The Life and Works of M.C. Escher follows the man from his childhood in the Netherlands through his extended stay in southern Italy, and finally northward to Switzerland and back home, where he produced some of his most challenging work. Including beautiful footage of the Mediterranean landscapes, interviews with Escher, and many of his works (both famous and obscure), this video presents a classic portrait of a man obsessed with his work, sacrificing his family life for the sake of his art. Though he achieved some fame before his death in 1972, it seems certain that he would be amazed at his ever-growing popularity since then. Not flashy, not flamboyant, Escher simply made art that excited him. We can learn a lot from that.
