Intaglio is a broad term for a family of printmaking techniques that involve cutting into a surface to create an image. The word comes from the Italian word intagliare, which means "to incise" or "to carve". In intaglio printing, the incised lines or areas below the surface of the plate hold the ink, which is then pressed into the paper to create the image. This is the opposite of relief printing, where the parts of the matrix that make the image stand above the surface.
Intaglio includes many techniques, such as etching, drypoint, engraving, aquatint, and mezzotint. Most intaglio plates are printed using a roller press, which sandwiches the ink into the paper.
Pochoir is a French word that means "stencil" and is a method of printing that uses stencils. It's also known as hand coloring or hand illustration. Pochoir is a refined technique for making limited editions of stencil prints.
Pochoir was popular in Europe, particularly France, around the turn of the century and most popular from the late 19th century through the 1930's with its center of activity in Paris. In the 1920's and 30's Art Deco era, the French rejuvenated the color application process of the stencil, bringing color illustration processes for books and prints to new heights.
Pochoir is a very labor intensive and expensive technique, which produces an image that is often indistinguishable from the artist's hand-painted original.
Some pochoir artists include: Salvador Dalí, Sonia Delaunay, Raoul Dufy, and Joan Miró.
