Distortion pressure

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zerrdruck (or Zerrdrucktechnik) is a printing process developed by the Lower Saxony painter and graphic artist Heinz-Jürgen Bredemeyer (1940–2008), in which an image is transferred from a cliché to a plasticine based on silicone rubber , deformed and then printed as a distorted image.

With this technique, developed in 1967, it was possible to generate distorted images before the breakthrough in digital image processing. The developer and artist used the printing process primarily to print distorted cars, faces of celebrities, distorted text and brains ("brain images").
