What is oil on canvas?
Oil paint is a slow-drying type of paint made from pigment particles suspended in a drying oil, typically linseed oil. The viscosity of the paint can be adjusted by adding a solvent like turpentine, and varnish can be added to increase the glossiness of the dried paint film. Oil painting has been used since the 12th century in Europe, initially for decoration, but it was not widely adopted as a primary painting medium until the 15th century.

Relief printing is a printmaking process where the design to be printed is etched or cut into a surface, leaving only the raised areas to transfer ink. The non-printing areas are removed, so only the design is inked and printed. Common relief printing techniques include woodcut, linocut, and wood engraving.

Réalités Nouvelles means new realities and refers to an exhibiting society founded in 1939 in Paris by Sonia Delaunay. The Salon des Réalités Nouvelles was dedicated to promoting abstract art, which it considered to be a new reality because it does not imitate the existing physical world. The movement emphasized that abstract art creates its own reality, independent of the external world, and played a significant role in the development and recognition of abstract art in the mid-20th century.
