Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Intaglio is the general name used to describe all printmkaing processes
where the artist incises or engraves the surface of a plate either
directly with tools or indirectly with chemicals in order to pull a
print from it. Although the techniques that come under this category
are labelled traditional they are also among the most popular and widely
used techniques in contemporary printmaking. The direct methods include
techniques such as drypoint, engraving and mezzotint and the indirect
methods include etching and aquatint.

In this book Mychael Barratt introduces the reader to both the direct
and indirect techniques and shows examples of an international range of
artists whose work will serve as an inspiration. These artists include
Goya, Rembrandt, Dürer, Picasso, John Heagan Eames, Paula Rego and
Chris Orr.
