- 21st Century
- American - Refers to the context of or associated specifically with the modern political entity of the United States of America.
- Contemporary - Refers to painting, sculpture, graphic arts, and architecture dating from the recent past and present. It differs from modern art in that the term 'contemporary art' does not carry the implication of a non-traditional style, but instead refers only to the time period in which the work was created. 'Modern' and 'contemporary' are inherently fluid terms. The term 'contemporary' is sometimes more narrowly used to refer to art from ca. 1960 or 1970 up to the present.
- inkjet printing - Nonimpact computer-controlled printing in which tiny droplets of ink are projected from nozzles onto paper.
- inkjet prints - Prints made from inkjet printers, which use a non-impact computer-controlled printing process, in which tiny droplets of ink are projected from nozzles onto paper.
- Latin American - In the strictest sense, refers to the cultures of the countries of South America, North America, Central America, and the Caribbean that were originally colonized by Spain. It may also refer more broadly to all the cultures of this region, including those that were originally colonized by the French or Portuguese.
- Mexican - Of or belonging to the nation of Mexico or its people.
- paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
- photographic paper - Paper used for making photographic prints that consists of a base material with a white or near-white surface that is coated with one or more emulsion layers. It is typically a high grade of paper traditionally made from 100% cotton or linen rags, because lignin and other residues in other paper would react with the photosensitive salts and destroy the image. Photographic paper is strong, uniform, and dimensionally stable when wet and dry. For increased wet-strength, the papers are sized with animal glue, starch, stearic acid, or synthetic resins, such as melamine (used since 1948). One or more fillers, such as barium sulfate, titanium dioxide, clay, starch, or polyacrylamide, are also added for opacity, color, and strength. The papers were calendered to produce a smooth, nonporous surface. Since the late 1960s, most color photographic papers have been made from cellulose fibers coated on both sides with polyethylene.

photographs
- Refers to still images produced from radiation-sensitive materials (sensitive to light, electron beams, or nuclear radiation), generally by means of the chemical action of light on a sensitive film, paper, glass, or metal. It does not include reproductive prints of documents and technical drawings, for which descriptors found under "
" are more appropriate. Photographs may be positive or negative, opaque or transparent.
