Monoprint
Definition of Monoprint as it relates to Art, Contemporary Art, Printmaking
Intaglio printmaking is an ancient art form where ink is applied to recessed lines and details carved into a printing plate, often made of metal or plastic. The ink adheres to these areas and when the plate is pressed onto paper, it transfers the ink creating a mirror image of the design on the plate. This process yields richly textured prints with intricate detailing, making it popular in contemporary art for its expressive potential and versatility.
