Definition & Bedeutung von "monotype"

What is "monotype"?

Monotype is a printing technique where an artist creates a unique, one-of-a-kind print. The artist applies ink or paint onto a smooth surface, like a plate or glass, and then transfers the image onto paper by pressing them together. Since the process is not repeatable and each print is made individually, no two monotypes are exactly the same. This method allows for a lot of creativity and variation in the final print, making it popular for creating original artwork.
