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"
