MC Escher | Portrait of GA Escher (portrait of his father)

from Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages · host Kyle Wood

I live in the United States where this weekend, people will be celebrating father’s day. I thought this would be great time to dedicate a mini episode to an artist who created a beautiful work for his father. I love MC Escher’s portrait of GA Escher not only because it shows us the Escher men had a strange proclivity for referring to humans by letters rather than names, but we see some similarities between the father and son as both wrote diligently in their journals throughout the process of its creation. This mini episode is about the portrait MC Escher lovingly created of his 92 year old father. He made 15 copies of the lithograph to be shared among the family. Who ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.
