Pablo Picasso used the Linocut process to create a small group of his limited edition prints.
Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum is used for the relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller and then impressed onto paper or fabric. The actual printing can be done by hand or with a press.
Examples of Picasso's Linocut prints:
Plante Aux Toritos
Le Danseur
