Oddly only 2 copies recorded by OCLC.The finest and most beautiful reproductions of European cave paintings ever published. Every major continent has cave paintings by prehistoric man and they have long fascinated the modern world. There has been a plethora of books and theories about these cave painting starting from the work of Abbé Henri Breuil and extending to today. Perhaps one of the most finely executed works on the subject is the title offered here. This suite of prints was created in conjunction with an exhibition at Hammer Galleries in NYC in the fall of 1982. Mazonowicz who lived in Spain spent time visiting Altamira and Valltorta and Gasulla and also traveled to the caves of France and the Sahara. He created 20 life sized reproductions of cave paintings ten of which are included in this portfolio. Titles include: Bowmen and Deer Two Figures in Finery Engraved Frieze Hunter and Ibex Head of a Horse Giraffe Prancing Horse Crouching Bison Group of Antelopes and Helmeted Warrior.Douglas Howcroft Mazonowicz a graphic artist helped preserve some of the world's most famous prehistoric cave paintings by recreating them on silk. 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

197785163Dublin Ireland: Dolmen Press 1977. Limited Edition 1/650 copies. Limited edition 1/650 copies. Quarto. Black cloth over boards 10 5/8 in. x 7 1/4 in. with striking painting by Louis le Brocquy of a rook in flight to front board. White lettering to spine. Housed in Black and Red on White dustjacket. 78 pp with red and black lettering to dustjacket spine. <br /> <br /> It is interesting to note that while creating the images for this book the artist le Brocquy was healing from an injury which encased his primary drawing/painting hand in plaster. He writes: "In my present task I have not had the use of my right hand which is immobilised in plaster. With my available left hand I cannot write nor do any precise operation at all. It is encouraging therefore to note that this clumsy left hand produces illustrations as well as paintings which are not less articulate than those formerly made with my right. It would seem to show that no predictable skill whatever is involved and that images emerge not by imnposition on my part but as it were automatically -- jerked into coherence by a series of vaguely directed accidents discovered rather than executed. In illlustrating THE GODODDIN I discovered nothing but rooks. This would be less disconcerting were I preoccupied with Ted Hughes's CROW. As it is I have had to accept their persistent presence in THE GODODDIN as a kind of counterpoint to its own repetitive and compassionate insistence and in renewed irony as a recurrent image of the unscathed victor" "Aneirin the sixth-century Welsh poet is reputed to have been one of a handful of survivors from the battle of Catraeth which inspired his epic poem THE GODODDIN.Desmond O'Grady's belief is that what Aneirin wrote of his war is true of all wars and informs the purpose of his version which is to give a 'reading' of the poem as one way in which it might have been written today."<br /> <br /> Louis le Brocquy executed magnificent brush drawings for Thomas Kinsella's version of the Irish epic THE TAIN.has provided a series of ink paintings to accompany Desmond O'Grady's text.

This edition contains the full poem the music of the ancient Norwegian meolodies; 13 full colour plates tipped in from water colour paintings by Eleanor C. Merry. Also notes on the music and the singing of the "Dream Song" by Benedict Wood. The Dream Song of Olaf Asteson is a folksong which only came to light in 1850 when a clergyman called Landstad heard it in a lonely valley of Telemark Norway. No one knows how long it has existed but it's an epic narrative telling the story of a young man who slept for twelve nights in the depths of winter then awoke to share the wondrous sights he had seen. Steiner noted that it was known to seers that vision penetrates most deeply during this period of the Thirteen Hold Nights. New Knowledge Books hardcover
