While relief prints are without a doubt the oldest printmaking technique, woodcuts remained monochromatic for a long time in the Western Hemisphere. While color found its way in woodcuts in Japan and China commonly later in the 17th century, it remained fairly uncommon in the West. And while color became prevalent for woodcuts in the Japan in particular as of the 18th century, color printmaking in the West only really gained broad appeal in the late 19th century. Since then, the attraction for color woodcuts has not ceased to grow, with artists and collectors alike. And today, many printmakers try their hand at color relief, often starting with linoleum, then moving on to carving wood. The combination of color, and the grain of wood often detected in these impressions, has become of creative and collectible appeal. But whether or not the matrix can be detected in these prints, it seems the combination of color and line has won over many print collectors to the realm of color woodcuts.
