Dorte Naomi made this graphic high pressure lino print developed in 1890 in Germany. The design was cut into soft linoleum and the print was done by hand on paper fabric. This art, just like all others, have been widely recognized for her passionate, immense skills and imagination. 
I enjoy this print because her ink transfer is amazing and her design is absolutely mesmerizing! I had troubles thinking of designs that would prove to be interesting and this incredible imaginative work is really inspiring. I look forward to using asymmetrical/ symmetrical designs such as this.

Scoot Kiefer is a very exclusive printmaker artist and photographer. His work is generally based on cover views of cities and nature scenes. He uses white paper for his art: however his work is very much admired due to the fact that he uses the etchings themselves as a medium for his photography. Kiefer's prints are very crisp and detailed which gives his compositions an intense and effective feel to them.
I chose his art because his etchings are remarkable and I find this particular piece intriguing. His art looks very realistic and his use of negative and positive space allows his piece to come alive. His meticulous detail is quite astounding considering how this piece looks as if it were stenciled as well. I do not know how much time he took to make this print, but I admire his patience and care in creating something so lovely.
