The way he say's "what might be possible" rather than "what is possible" really reflects his humility as a scientist, amplifies the idea that we really don't know anything and his language choice shares his humble demeanour despite being one of the great minds in recent history. This openness and awareness that he too knows nothing is probably what led him to his interest in Escher and massively benefited his work in one of the most important Art-Science collaborations ever. Without this humility it's hard to learn from other people, especially an intelligent and established scientist from a relatively unknown artist (at that time)

@@jeffreyjefferson536 You have excellent divination skills lol. Dali is top 5 for me certainly......... his watercolors he did for Dante are inexplicably ...... wonderfully ....wrought. Number 2 is Gustav Klimt ......"The Embrace"...... devastates me every time I look at it. If you ever have a chance to be in the same room...... properly lit....... with that utter mastery and vibrant majesty...... you will be moved. Number 3 although yes, it's an easy choice and smacks of a pedestrian understanding of art because of the ease with which you can attach to him.........., is Van Gogh.

There is always so much tiny detail you dont notice at first. I cant imagine how a brain that comes up with these visual illusions, works - let alone be skilled enough to transfer that so skillfully! Thank you for such a wonderful video!

Drawing hands on the back cover of mathematical analysis book is a good introduction to Escher, I just wish there was more of his work in school. To me the beauty is Escher is that he leads the mind to thoughts of integrated subject thinking, a place where most education is found lacking. Maths, arts biology, engineering have been created by humans. Escher's work helps us in understanding that they are all interconnected in ways that we sometimes can't express. Unless of course you are Escher then you can in each drawing.

Escher's work always reminded me of a paradox I ran into when first learning computer programming. That being that finite decimals we're all used to in the base 10 number system become infinitely repeating "decimals" in base 2 or the binary system that computers use. Leading to unexpected round-off errors especially when dealing with money. And these days I think back to Escher when trying to grasp higher dimensional spaces required by string theory or depictions of hyperbolic spaces.

I do not buy idea of genius or Cult Of Personality in general in art, science or politics. Must we repeat same simplistic stories about Darwin and Einstein? These guys were of their time and if Darwin didn't do it someone else probably would have, same for Einstein, they were in scientific races to arrive at answers first rather than jumping out of proverbial bathtubs shouting "Eureka!" Eschers work is interesting but the idea of genius makes little appeal. People add to what is already there they do not come from outer space. Less about Newton under the tree more Galileo with his Dutch Spyglass

When growing up, I personally drew very similar looking building as he did, without ever seeing his work yet. My family and I seemed to have a natural understanding of perspective and drawing 3-D shapes as well. I def did not inherit his genius though haha Also, the non Escher side of the family could barely draw a stick figure.

12:30 It does not start off as a still life and suddenly become a street as stated. Clearly it is a group of items on a table by a window pane and looks out and down onto a street scene. It is easy to see what attracted him to the juxtaposition of foreground and background. I have often marveled at similar scenes in my own abodes throughout the years. Items I have on a window sill and look out onto a street scene. If the window frame is not is view, and the glass is clean, there is no beginning or end to the scene. They all have an amazing way of looking at the world.
