Label TextTo produce a monotype, an artist paints on a smooth surface, which is then pressed against paper, leaving a reversed image on the paper.

In the 1880s, the monotype method was revived by the French Impressionists and became quite popular among artists in the decades that followed. Along with John Sloan and Robert Henri, Luks was one of many American artists to experiment with the monotype process in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
