Woodcut
Engraving technique of printing onto relief, by which the performance is designed on the surface of the wood (usually by ash or pear) and the part that should remain white "cut" with a knife or chisel, by allowing the remainder to be printed in black. The woodcut was first used around the late 14th century for the printing of cards and of some books. During the 15th century, began to be used in a more artistic way to reach the great moments with Dürer. After a long period of disuse, was revived by G. Morris in the 19th century, and was widely used -as an ideal expression of rampant subjectivity- by German Expressionists during the 20th century. An another kind of woodcut is one that utilizes the waters of the cut wood and use a chisel through formulation and not gouge for carving (wood engraving). Thus, someone can achieve very fine lines and a overall result that is very close to the engraving.
