Born in Swindon in Wiltshire England Mr. Mazonowicz spent 15 years in France Spain North Africa and North America seeking prehistoric art. Mazonowicz wrote several books about prehistoric art including: Prehistoric Rock Paintings of Tassili n’ Ajjer 1969; In Search of Cave Art 1973; Voices from the Stone Age 1974 and The Hand of Man 1981. "Mazonowicz photographed the works he reproduced using a slide projection of the work on drawing paper. Over the slide projection he drew black outline details of the painting. He then began to transfer the image using a silkscreen technique. A new screen was prepared for each color application. Mazonowicz used modern oil based colors instead of the mineral-based colors of the stone age artists. His goal was to faithfully preserve the rock paintings since they are subject to modern day pollution and vandals" Rogallery. Hammer Publications unknown
