Metamorphose: M.C. Escher, 1898-1972


A 1999 documentary from Dutch director Jan Bosdriesz focusing on the life of graphic artist M.C. [Maurits Cornelis] Escher:

Anyone who lived through the 1960s and remembers them can recall countless apartments and crash pads with walls adorned by the works of a remarkable Dutch artist.

Our own humble Southern California abode sported three such prints, in the form of posters from San Francisco’s Vorpal Gallery. Here are two of them:

Reptiles, 1943

Bond of Union, 1956

Enjoy the film, and do pop it up to full screen. You’ll be glad you did.

H/T to Open Culture.
