Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to prints made by combining carborundum with synthetic resin or varnish; this mixture is then hardened on a plastic or metal support and various heated tools are used to cut lines. This type of print was invented in the 1960s by the French artist Henri Goetz (1909-1989), who noticed that carborundum provided an ink-holding 'tooth.' Many corborundum prints resemble intaglio prints.
