The image exists. The ampersand in the name seems to be the mistake.84.141.66.51 20:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

date of invention[edit]

anyone know? Linoleum invented 1860. Johnbod 19:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

not sure about when linoleum began seeing implementation in the printmaking field, but I do know that it really wasn't until Pablo Picasso started working with it (in his 60's) that the medium really started getting any credit as a serious technique. Until that time, it was mainly considered a student's medium. Ryecatcher773 21:44, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

afair german artists of Die Brücke invented the Linocut as an art technic sometime before 1910. Threedots 21:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article too America-centric?[edit]

I don't want to change any information, because it is useful and likely accurate, but what is the necessity for stating the name of the first American linocut artist to produce large prints? We know that German Expressionists had used the medium since the 1910s. Why then, under the banner 'emergence of the technique' refer to the work of an obscure American printmaker from 30 years later? Even if we must consider the 40s to be the time of the medium's 'emergence,' then why not consider the work of Picasso, who also produced linocuts in the 1940s? He may not be American, but he is far more important than Walter Inglis Anderson.

According to this web site, Constructivist Arntz was the first to use linocutting to create art. This is a detailed article here: http://www.ehow.co.uk/about_6712213_history-linoleum-printmaking.html

Picasso's linocuts gave a greater importance to linocut and made it a respected visual art form. According to the internet, his first linocuts were done in 1951. http://www.clevelandart.org/exhibcef/woodcut/html/7552048.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by LisaChristensenJackson (talk • contribs) 00:16, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lino etching[edit]

Hey,

As I was editing the Spanish version which I believe was originally translated from this article, I found a possible mistake:

"Linocuts can also be achieved by the careful application of art on the surface of the lino. This creates a surface similar to a soft ground etching and these caustic-lino plates can be printed in either a relief, intaglio or a viscosity printing manner."

Looking for a source, I found here [1]https://workflow-staging.arts.ac.uk/view/view.php?id=75122

"Linocuts can also be achieved by the careful application of sodium hydroxide in a paste to parts of the surface of the lino. This creates a surface similar to a soft ground etching and these caustic-lino plates can be printed in either a relief, intaglio or a viscosity printing manner."

Not sure if this was originally written by the artist, since I could not trace it further.

Note that there are plenty of websites using by the careful application of art on the surface of the lino. I believe the second option makes much more sense. Anyhow, perhaps if this actually makes sense, it can be related to "Lino Etching" or added to the article on Etching Etching. More info on lino etching [2]https://thecuriousprintmaker.co.uk/lino-etching/#:~:text=What%20is%20Lino%20Etching%3F,of%20the%20caustic%20soda%20etch. [3]https://www.nontoxic-printmaking.co.nz/techniques/etching_linoleum.html

If anybody has an idea on this, edits this page abouth this topic, can answer wether or not this is a mistake or finds better sources to trace the sodium hydroxide info, please kindly tag or leave a comment in the discussion of this article in the Spanish version. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discusi%C3%B3n:Linograbado
