Viennese Actionism was a short-lived but intense art movement in the 20th century, emerging as part of the broader action art efforts of the 1960s. Known for its violent and provocative performances, the movement sought to break traditional art boundaries. Key figures in this movement included Arnulf Rainer and Hermann Nitsch.

A print is an image or text reproduced using a template or master form. Prints are typically created by transferring ink from a prepared matrix to another material, often paper. Common matrices include copper or zinc plates for etching and engraving, aluminum or stone for lithography, wood blocks for woodcuts, and linoleum for linocuts. The term print can also refer to a single impression made from the matrix.
