Charles Donker is one of the foremost contemporary Dutch printmakers. He was a member of a group called De Luis (The Louse), a group of graphic artists who in the 60s made works in a surrealist or heightened realist idiom. He has long been fascinated by the natural world. He is well-known for his muted etchings that depict nature and everyday objects. In 1967, he made several prints, reminiscent of Cubist collages, that show money, newspapers, packaging that are all full of diverse forms of lettering.
