Im Leben von Maurits Cornelis Escher
Das ganze Leben1962–1964
Operations and cancelled lectures
In 1962 Escher underwent an urgent operation and spent a long time in hospital — a planned series of lectures in North America was cancelled and he stopped working for a time. In 1964 he went to Canada again to see his son and give lectures, but almost at once he had to have an operation in Toronto and returned to Europe; his health then declined, and by the late 1960s he needed constant care.
1965
The Hilversum cultural prize
In 1965 Escher received the Hilversum art prize; the same year Caroline MacGillavry published her book “Symmetry Aspects of M. C. Escher’s Periodic Drawings”.
1966–1967
“Scientific American” discovers Escher
Escher’s fame among scientists and the general public grew after Martin Gardner featured him in his April 1966 “Mathematical Games” column in “Scientific American”; the magazine’s October 1967 issue carried a separate article on his work.
1968
A retrospective for his 70th birthday and the Escher Foundation
In 1968 a retrospective for Escher’s 70th birthday was organised in The Hague — before that he had long been neglected by the art world even in the Netherlands. Four years before his death he founded The M. C. Escher Foundation to preserve his legacy.
late 1968
Jetta goes back to Switzerland
At the end of 1968 Jetta, who had never been content with life in Holland, returned to Switzerland. The couple never formally divorced, but they never lived together again.
