Originals in this selection, Linocut, Paper, under 500 euro.
Formats from 56 x 36 to 70 x 50 cm.
Contrast of linoleum and paper
Rugged power meets the delicacy of handmade paper in a linocut on paper. Linocuts on paper under 500 euro for sale are best chosen with an eye on color, margin and edition.
The linoleum supplies dense surfaces, the paper the delicate counter-structure. Depending on the paper, the ink sits velvety matte or slightly glossy, and each impression shows slightly different edges. These very deviations make the sheet a piece of craft. The paper margin counts too: a generous margin makes the print look as if in a small gallery, even at a modest size.

Start small, frame well
In this range smaller formats are common. They gain from a wide mat that gives the sheet weight. Hang several linocuts in a grid, and a wall full of color and pattern appears.
Recognizing a hand-pulled print
Pencil number, signature and slight color differences show a hand-pulled impression. Ask about paper, plate size and edition. If you enjoy linocut, you may later look at related techniques as well.
