M.C. Escher: Journey To Infinity tells the story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972). Equal parts history, psychology, and psychedelia, Robin Lutz's entertaining, eyeopening portrait gives us the man through his own words and images: diary musings, excerpts from lectures, correspondence and more (voiced by British actor Stephen Fry, Gosford Park), while Escher's woodcuts, lithographs, and other printing techniques appear in both originaI and pIayfulIy aItered form. Two of his sons, George (92) and Jan (80), reminisce about their parents whiIe musician Graham Nash (Crosby, StilIs & Nash) talks about Escher's rediscovery in the 1970s. The film Iooks at Escher's Iegacy: one can see tributes to his work in movies, in fiction, on posters, on tattoos, and eIsewhere throughout our culture; indeed, few fine artists of the 20th century can Iay cIaim to such popular appeaI.
