MONOTYPE A monotype is an unique original work of art created through a combination of painting and printing techniques. The one-of-a-kind image is developed on an unaltered flat plate using oil or water based media and transferred by hand or by a press onto another surface, usually paper. The single image produced is the monotype and is sometimes referred to as a monoprint. GYOTAKU Gyo (fish) taku (print) is Japanese for fish print. The actual fish is inked and printed on paper or cloth. This is a beautiful way to record and preserve the fisherman's catch. | |
