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

• The Japanese American artist Isami Doi made the 1935 color relief print Sheepshead Bay.

• It depicts boats as they near a dock.

• Both intaglio and relief are printmaking methods in which an image is cut into a printing block, inked, and pressed onto paper.

• In intaglio printing, ink goes into the grooved, carved parts of the block.

• In relief printing, ink goes onto the raised, uncarved parts 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 the reverse of intaglio: the ink goes not into the block’s carved grooves but onto its raised, uncarved parts.

• B.

  Relief printing, not intaglio, is the method Doi used to depict boats nearing a dock in the 1935 print Sheepshead Bay.

• C.

  Unlike relief printing, in which ink goes on the uncarved parts of the block, intaglio uses the block to press the image onto paper.

• D.

  In both relief and intaglio, an image is cut into a printing block, leaving grooves that ink is applied to.
