"Michael Mazur is unique among contemporary artists, equally gifted as a painter and graphic artist. Steeped in the history of printmaking, he has balanced in his work graphic experimentation and innovation, technical virtuosity, and a wealth of unforgettable images. Mazur is a humanist, all his imagery rooted in the natural world. He has also played a leading role in the contemporary revival of the monotype, a major means of expression that occupies a central place in his own work.". "This volume brings together essays by four leading authorities, covering various aspects of Mazur's life and career."--BOOK JACKET.
