"The animals reproduced in Mazonowicz's faithful prints are full of power and grace; man, when he paints himself, is the hunter, swift and purposeful. Here, as many of the paintings are disappearing forever, and caves are being closed to protect what remains, we have evidence of how ancient is the creative human response to the beauty and danger of life."

"Douglas Mazonowicz has rescued these great works of art. He has dedicated himself to a scrupulously careful recreation of these paintings, and the mottled surfaces which they grace. In all of these pictures we recognize that our ancestors were very much like us. Their essential humanity careens down across the ages. Mazonowicz has helped to time-bind the human community."
CARL SAGAN, Cornell University
