The Vietnamese term "in thạch bản" refers to a traditional printing technique known as "lithography" in English. This method involves creating prints from a flat stone surface, where the artist draws an image with a greasy substance. When ink is applied, it sticks only to the greasy parts, allowing for multiple copies of the artwork to be made.
In more advanced discussions, "in thạch bản" can be explored in terms of its historical significance in art movements, such as how it influenced printmaking and allowed for greater distribution of artistic works. You could also discuss its revival in contemporary art practices.
While "in thạch bản" specifically refers to lithography, the word "in" can also refer to other printing methods, and "thạch bản" may sometimes be used in a broader context relating to art or design.
