Even though printing is one of the most common forms of art
in the world, no one seems to give it the importance and seriousness it
deserves. From the time of the great civilizations such as the Egyptian, Roman
and Greek, printing has been a big part of the development of art in human history.
Thanks to the original patterns of printing, the creation of newspapers and
books made the world a more connected place. As any other kind of art, printing has evolved
and become more and more sophisticated. Additionally, there is no other type of
art that started a revolution with human communication and development. When
analyzing types of printing such as intaglio, relief, lithography and screen
painting it is almost impossible not to notice how humans manage to make the
printing process simpler, just as everything in their life. It can be also said
that all types of printing differ in great meanings. Though, they all serve the
same purpose of making tangible, unique and at the same time, duplicable a
vision from the artist’s imagination. I think that printing is one of the many
examples of how a simple intangible idea can change the whole world forever.
