Born in Bordeaux in 1941, Philippe Mohlitz studied the techniques of engraving at the studio of Jean Delpech in Paris in 1965, producing his first finished work in the medium that same year. His latent talent as a draughtsman is apparent even in his earliest works and his distinctive style appears to have emerged fully formed. Since his engraved work was first shown in 1967, Philippe Mohlitz has exhibited extensively worldwide. His superlative technique is distinguished by its refined handling, meticulous detail and smooth, flowing, continuous curves of unbroken engraved lines of carefully controlled weight. Already prized by connoisseurs, the astonishing and highly individual engravings of Philippe Mohlitz are destined to be regarded as the masterpieces of original engraving of this generation.
