Linoleum was a 20th-century development in the art of relief cuts. The linoleum block consists of a thin layer of linoleum mounted on wood; in this the design to be printed is cut in the same manner as for a woodcut. The advantage of linoleum cuts lies in the softness of the material and the consequent ease with which it can be cut. •Irving Amen, American artist •Valenti Angelo, American printmaker & illustrator •Walter Inglis Anderson American artist •Sybil Andrews English/Canadian artist •Georg Baselitz, German artist •Angel Botello, Spanish-Puerto Rican artist •Carlos Cortez American poet and artist •Stanley Donwood, British artist (most famous for his work with British band Radiohead).
