Mauricio Lasansky was an Argentine-born American printmaker who significantly advanced the field of intaglio printmaking and founded the printmaking program at the University of Iowa. His series titled The Nazi Drawings (1961–66), a powerful response to the atrocities of the Holocaust, is considered a landmark in 20th-century American Art. Lasansky’s work is held in major museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and others.

Very good condition; a hint of margin toning (very faint); not examined out of frame.
