The Fantastic World of M.C. Escher I am glad I viewed Acorn Media's "The Life and Works of M.C. Escher" before this tape. Although the tapes overlap a bit on the biographical details, "The Fascinating World" gives a much deeper insight into Escher's art. Particularly interesting are the analyses of some of his more famous tessellations, made more comprehensible by rotating transparent outlines around pivot points to show how the artist planned his patterns. Particularly interesting is the explanation of his false-perspective prints by Penrose, who claims to have (with his father) given Escher the idea. And wait until you see the three dimensional versions of the "impossible" shapes, one of which showed up in the recent and lamentable "The Avengers" film: the steps that always go up! The only annoying feature is the English narration given over the Dutch and Italian "talking heads," some of which are a drier than needs be; but such is the stuff of documentaries. I strongly suggest every math department in high schools and colleges purchase this tape for geometry classes as well as art departments to give the students a challenge of a different sort. -- Frank Behrens
