Erik Desmazieres was born in Rabat, Morocco, in 1948 and resides in Paris. He is a graduate of the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris and studied printmaking at the Cours du Soir de la Ville de Paris. He is a member of La Societe des Peintres Graveurs Francais. Erik Desmazieres is an intaglio printmaker of the Art Fantastique school, whose artists find their aesthetic antecedents in Bresdin, Piranesi, Callot and Durer.

Desmazieres's still lifes have an ethereal quality due to his close attention to detail and his grasp of atmospheric light. His work has enjoyed considerable success in the U.S. and is included in major museum collections around the world.

Erik Desmazieres was honored this year with a retrospective of his work at the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam.  The following five prints comprise the suite of prints which the museum commissioned for the occasion.   In addition to the portfolio of prints, a catalogue raisonne is also being published.  Prices are as follows:
Portfolio of all five prints: $3500
Individual prints: $75o
Hardbound Catalogue: $75
Sofbound catalogue: $50
