Artist M.C. Escher Demonstrates His Artistic Process in a Fascinating Documentary on His Life
In 1971, Dutch filmmaker Han Van Gelder captured the artistic incredible process of M.C. Escher in the 20-minute documentary entitled "Adventures in Perception". The film, part-biography, part artist demonstration was created for The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Netherlands program "Living Art The Netherlands"
The first half of the film shows a lot of his work accompanied by a dissonant score by Felix Visser. About halfway through, we see shots of Escher at work, with narration offering biographical information sprinkled with quotes taken from Escher's own statements over the years.
The M.C. Escher Facebook page posted an abbreviated version of the film.
