Au XXe siècle, certains artistes, par exemple Picasso ou Matisse, ont adopté la gravure en relief sur linoléum épais, dont la technique est analogue à celle de la gravure sur bois. La linogravure ne permet ni un travail minutieux ni beaucoup de finesse, mais accuse nettement les contrastes. La gravure en camaïeu, variante de la gravure sur bois, nécessite l'emploi de deux planches et vise à imiter les effets d’un dessin au lavis. 4, record 1, French, - gravure%20en%20cama%C3%AFeu
