Rest in peace M.C. Escher 17 June 1898 ~ 27 March 1972⚘

Learned about him in High School when studying architecture; fascinated by his works ever since!

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!

I love all that this man did in that time that he lived , I’m so glad he didn’t go to war !

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

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.

Cool explanation!! I never understood Lenstra's paper until I saw this video! I am now a fan of Jon Chapman

Amazing insight

Brilliant. Reminds me of “Godel,Escher,Bach”

very cool thanxx

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.

He utilized the Holographic Mind’s Eye! Shine Bright in this universe of Fractals ! MWM

This is amazing great work!!

Wow great video !

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=]

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.

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.

Shows me what I have lost. A reminder ,place marked and set in a world of illusion.

I drew a pretty good Escher picture years ago. I used dots to make an eye. 😂

It’s all crystalline structures

Can somebody tell me the software used here or the plugin please if someone knows thank you

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 KZread auto captions don't work, maybe for reasons of copyright. We are trying to sort it and maybe one day soon they will appear.

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...

It's pretty simplistic. Escher tapped into fractals, in a more definite form than Pollack

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

Is this Fibonacci?

With all the mathematics you still haven't figured out how to make the pointer visible.

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

Mildly smart things explained painful slowly.

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.

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.

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".

Mathmatics is one of the most boring subjects ever invented.
