- 20th Century
- American - Refers to the context of or associated specifically with the modern political entity of the United States of America.
- block printing (relief printing process) - Printing from wooden blocks, as in block books before movable type, or from wood or occasionally metal blocks on textile. Sometimes used loosely with reference to relief printmaking processes; there prefer "relief printing."
- 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.
- intaglio printing - Printing processes in which the image prints from ink held in the recessed areas of the plate or block, which have been cut or etched away.
- intaglio prints - Prints made using the process of intaglio printing.
- lithographs - Prints made using the process of lithography, which is a planographic printing process in which a design is deposited on the stone or plate with a greasy substance which will accept ink.
- lithography - Planographic printing process in which a design is deposited on the stone or plate with a greasy substance and the surface is chemically treated to accept ink only in the greasy areas.
- 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.
- portfolios (groups of works) - Groups of works brought together such as to exemplify the work of an artist or student. Also, groups of art works or other visual materials (often by one artist) such as photographs or prints, issued or housed together in a portfolio; they often include a loose title page or text introduction.
- prints (visual works) - Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use just "prints." With regard to photographs, see "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
- woodcut (process) - A relief process in which the design is cut into and printed from the plank side of a wood block; distinct from "wood engraving (process)," which is a relief process using the grain end of a wood block.
