What Is Linocut Art?
Linocut art is a printmaking technique where artists carve designs into a linoleum sheet to create bold prints.
How It Works
The artist cuts away areas that should stay white. The raised surface is inked and pressed onto paper.
Like a Stamp
Linocut works like a stamp—carve, ink, press, and repeat to make multiple prints.
Bold & Expressive Style
Linocuts are known for strong lines, high contrast, and simple yet powerful designs.
Easy to Learn
Because linoleum is soft, it’s easier to carve than wood, making it perfect for beginners.
Used by Famous Artist
Artists like Pablo Picasso experimented with linocut to create expressive prints.
Popular Today
Linocut is widely used in posters, illustrations, books, and fine art prints.
Why Linocut Matters
Linocut proves that simple tools can create powerful and timeless art.
