R Relief A sculptural technique that involves carving into a flat surface so the image appears raised from the background. In actuality, a subtractive method is used which results in the material around the image being removed, also called "lowering the field."
Relief printmaking Relief printmaking involves applying ink to a rigid matrix that has been carved or etched with the intended design. The ink is placed on the raised portions of the carving; when the matrix is pressed to the paper, the raised portions will show, and the recesses will remain the color of the paper.
Renoir, Auguste 1841-1919: A French impressionism painter who worked alongside Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, and Camille Pissaro. Order a Renoir classic art print today.
Reproduction A reproduction is a copy of an original. This copy may be made using the same materials as the original (for instance, one artist reproducing an earlier artwork), or a digital copy of the original may be created using a printer. Reproductions make it possible for the artist to sell the same work to multiple buyers, and allow collectors to purchase a less costly version of an original artwork.
RGB A color mode or system representing the primary colors that are combined to display all the colors seen on a traditional computer monitor. It stands for Red, Green, Blue.
Rotogravure An intaglio printing method in which the image is carved or imprinted onto a cylindrical carrier, then applied to paper prints by a pressurized rolling process.
