About the Artist Recently Dietfried Laszka has experimented with new materials and techniques in order to achieve new forms of expression. The priting plates he uses are thin plates of aluminum instead of copper or zinc plates. He gets the aluminum plates from automobile and airplane factories. He does his engravings on aluminum with the needles usually used for copper and zinc plates. In addition he uses other tools, materials and cloths. These are made further into collages. These new works of art surprise the viewer with their outstanding play of color and form. As monotypes they are unique copies. They were produced cooperatively with Prof. Kunito Nagaoka of Kyoto, Japan.
