German-French graphic artist, counts among the pioneers of modern color etching, he received in 1969 the Federal Cross of Merit and in 1982 the Lovis Corinth Prize: "I shun chance in my work; he is not my master. I have made rigor my rule. I jot down my fleeting ideas in the form of numerous sketches and, as if for a score, they are worked out more and more." (Quote from "Friedlaender, catalog raisonné of etchings").
