The monotype is a wholly unique work comparable to a painting or drawing. Artists use tools such as presses, inks, plates, rollers, and paper to create unique works of art that cannot be duplicated. This collection offers a look at this technique employed by some of the world’s most famous artists, including Camille Pissarro, Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
