About the Artist: Michael Mathias Prechtl (1926–2003) was one of the most original illustrators to publish regularly on The New York Times Op-Ed Page during the late 1960s and ’70s. Discovered by JC Suares, he was the Albrecht Durer of his time. Known for his portraits of politicians, artists and public figures (from Richard Nixon to Idi Amin, Golda Meir to Charles Manson, Anton Chekhov to Buffalo Bill), his fine line was disrupted by the frequent inclusion of fingerprints and other graphic devices. He had a remarkable sense of wit and absurdity. His artistic patience was sublime. In addition, he frequently illustrated books for the Gutenberg Buchergilde as well as his own monographs of paintings, drawings and sketches. (printmag.com)
