question:

Printmaking is the generic term for a number of processes, of which woodcut

о

and engraving are two prime examples. Prints are made by pressing a sheet of

г

к

paper (or other material) against an image-bearing surface to which ink has beenо

е

с

applied. When the paper is removed, the image adheres to it, but in reverse.в The

ш

ы

woodcut had been used in China from the fifth century A.D. for applying patterns

е

н

to textiles. The process was not introduced into Europe untilрthe fourteenth

century, first for textile decoration and then for printing on.paper. Woodcuts are

Н

created by a relief process; first, the artist takes a block of wood, which has been

и

н

sawed parallel to the grain, covers it with a white ground, and then draws the

и

е

image in ink. The background is carved away,мleaving the design area slightly

т

е

raised. The woodblock is inked, and the ink adheres to the raised image. It is then

и

с

transferred to damp paper either by hand or with a printing press. Engraving, which

в

grew out of the goldsmith's art, originated in Germany and northern Italy in the

у

и

middle of the fifteenth century. нIt is an intaglio process (from Italian intagliare, "to

й

carve"). The image is incised into a highly polished metal plate, usually copper,

е

н

with a cutting instrument,н or burin. The artist inks the plate and wipes it clean so

в

that some ink remains in the incised grooves. An impression is made on damp
