Z życia: Maurits Cornelis Escher
Cały życiorys29 July 1961
Ernst Gombrich on Escher in the “Saturday Evening Post”
On 29 July 1961 the influential weekly “The Saturday Evening Post” printed a long article by Ernst Gombrich on Escher’s work.
1962–1964
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”.
