Mec Art
Mec Art (short for Mechanical Art)[1] is a European style of artwork created through photomechanical transfers via silkscreen printing onto an emulsified surface.[2] The coinage of the term is disputed between a number of individuals, but French artist Alain Jacquet is frequently credited with its original use.[3]
In contrast with the use of mass-media source images common in American Pop Art, Mec Art frequently referenced canonical and classical European works including Impressionist and Old Master paintings.[4]
