Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Radierung / etching
English term or phrase: crevé
Der Begriff kommt aus dem Französischen:

"When the ridges of copper between close and intersecting lines are destroyed by the acid, a flat space results which refuses to hold the ink in printing. A grey spot appears in the proof, the rag having taken the greater part of the ink out of the shallow depression. Instead of getting a rich deep black where it was most needed, the artist obtains an unsightly and repulsive blotch. This is called a crevé."

Stammt aus einem Abstract über die Grundlagen des Kupferstechens.
