While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
• The Appeal is a 1952 black-and-white relief print by Indian artist Chittaprosad.
• It features two children calling for global peace.
• Intaglio and relief are printmaking techniques in which an image is carved onto a printing block, covered in ink, and stamped onto paper.
• In intaglio printing, ink is applied to the grooved, carved portions of the block.
• In relief printing, ink is applied to the raised, uncarved portions of the block.
The student wants to contrast intaglio and relief printing. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Relief printing, rather than intaglio, is the technique Chittaprosad used to depict two children calling for global peace in the 1952 work The Appeal.
A
In both relief printing and intaglio, an image is carved onto a printing block, leaving grooves onto which ink is applied.
B
Relief printing is intaglio's reverse: the ink is applied not to the carved grooves of the printing block but to its raised, uncarved portions.
C
In contrast to relief printing, in which ink is applied to the uncarved portions of the block, intaglio printing uses the printing block to stamp the image onto paper.
D
