Screenprinting, silkscreening, or serigraphy is a printmaking technique that creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil. A screenprint or serigraph is an image created using this technique. In late 1961, Andy Warhol learned the process of silkscreening from Floriano Vecchi and brought the technique to high art.
