While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• Sheepshead Bay is a 1935 color relief print by Japanese American artist Isami Doi.
• It features boats approaching a dock.
• 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?

A

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.

B

Relief printing, rather than intaglio, is the technique Doi used to depict boats approaching a dock in the 1935 work Sheepshead Bay.

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

In both relief printing and intaglio, an image is carved onto a printing block, leaving grooves onto which ink is applied.
