M.C. Escher Is Now a Movie
I became a fan of M.C. Escher, the Dutch artist, the moment I saw this print. His pictures seemed designed to draw me in and hold me in a way that was enticing but also disturbing. They are like some of Dali’s landscapes, but more puzzles than dreams.
In any case, there’s now a movie about him. Dutch filmmaker Robin Lutz has just released M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity. According to a review on the Zeitgeist Films website, it provides an “entertaining, eye-opening portrait” of the artist “through his own words and images; diary musings, excerpts from lectures, correspondence and more.”
