The article discusses the status of intermediality in the graphic arts. The notion of intermediality and intermedia is currently one of the most frequent terms used in reference to the artistic activity and its employment causes that the analysed artworks seem to gain a higher artistic status. The article points to the permanent presence of intermedial practices in the field of graphic arts, treating intermediality as an immanent feature of contemporary graphics. The paper also introduces two terms: palimpsest and hyperlayering which, according to the author, might contribute to describing contemporary graphic art in a more precise way.
