The Moroccan Erik Desmaizières is one
of the most outstanding contemporary
print-makers. There are few of his con-
temporaries who have such command of
the different etching techniques. Evoca-
tive of the old masters, in their motifs but
also in their quality of execution, his works
bring to mind Albrecht Dürer and Giovanni
Battista Piranesi.
