In the 1950s and 1960s, Manfred Schwartz created an impressive collection of hand-pulled stone lithographs at the Mourlot Studios in Paris, France. Flamenco Dancers is a fine example of Manfred's skillful drawing as he presents joy and movement using the simplicity of lines and curves.

About Hand-Pulled Stone Lithographs
A hand-pulled lithograph is made by drawing on a flat surface with wax-based crayons or greasy ink. The design is set with a solution of acid and gum arabic. The flat surface is then wetted with water and rolled with ink, which adheres only to the drawing. A paper is then pressed to the flat surface and carefully removed by hand. A separate drawing, wetting, inking and pressing is necessary for each color.
