Condition: slight wear to cover 32 x 46 cm The meeting between the German engraver Hap Grieshaber and the Tunisian engraver Brahim Dahak in Germany in the late 60s was intended to lead to a joint exhibition on camels in Munich, but the project came to nothing following the hostage-taking at the 1972 Olympic Games. This album is the only record of collaboration between these two renowned engravers. Hap Griesbaher (1909-1981): German pacifist artist renowned for his woodcut work. Brahim Dahak (1931-2004): Tunisian artist, originally from southern Tunisia. After a number of jobs in the food industry and a meeting with the painter Hatem El Mekki, he became familiar with the Tunis School and won a scholarship to study in Italy. From self-taught, he became a master, particularly in engraving. His southern origins brought him an early acquaintance with the camel, to which he dedicated his first series of engravings.
