Charles Donker is one of the foremost contemporary Dutch printmakers. He is a member of a group called De Luis (The Louse), a group of graphic artists who since the 60s have been making works in a surrealist or heightened realist idiom. He has long been fascinated by the natural world and created a number of images of dead animals.The Crab in a Box is one of his best known prints. The image of a crab incongruously occupying the entire space of a deep box borders on the surreal.
