Description
printed in color from 9 plates Mauricio Lasansky's notoriety as a printmaker in his own right had its beginnings at Atelier 17 in New York. He wasn't hesitant to use multiple plates, and he often combined various tools in many of his compositions to achieve the texture and depth he was searching for.
