The Prints of Michael Mazur

Summary: Mazur's Mastery
Review: The newly published book, The Prints of Michael Mazur, extends research into the field of monotype printing and printmaking in New England in general. Mazur's exploration of the figure is competent as illustrated by his tour de force, Dante's Inferno series, and his landscapes, which progress towards a poignant abstraction, furthers the use of color, and extends the issue of scale in the printmaking world. This book is an excellent teaching guide. Professor Kurt Wisneski, author of Monotype/Monoprint: History and Techniques

Summary: STROKES OF BEAUTY AND RICHNESS
Review: This magnificent volume is the companion piece to the recent exhibition at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, showcasing the prints of one of America's foremost contemporary artists (and Provincetown resident) Mazur. The catalogue raisonne is as good to look at as it is to read: all of his prints from 1956 to 1999 are fully illustrated, and essays have been penned by four leading authorities, covering various aspects of Mazur's life and career. Richly produced, and rich in reference.
