kamagraphs

Noun

kamagraph (plural kamagraphs)

1. The special press used to create reproductions by kamagraphy.
   • Max Emst, the well-known dada and surrealist painter; Edouard Pignon, a French abstractionist; and the late René Magritte, the extraordinary Belgian surrealist who died this year, have all executed special work for the kamagraph.1967, Year Book Covering the Year 1968, page 131
2. A reproduction produced by this process.
   • Each kamagraph looks as though the artist had painted it by hand. The French call this type of work a “multi-original,” because the machine can work only with a painting painted for it on a specially treated canvas plaque.1967, Briton Hadden, Time - Volume 89, page 172
