Mauricio Lasansky

Who was Mauricio Lasansky?

Mauricio Lasansky was an American graphic artist and printmaker. He was one of the few modern artists who have limited their works almost exclusively to the graphic media. Due to his early contributions in the development of graphic techniques and his dedication to printmaking, Lasansky is considered to be a forerunner in the evolution of the graphic arts as a critical art form and has become recognized as one of the "Fathers of 20th Century American Printmaking." Lasansky is perhaps best known for The Nazi Drawings, which examine the brutality of Nazi Germany.
