Engraving often has to justify its place among other artistic disciplines, even though it is an endless source of creativity.

Probably due to its complex nature.

The artwork first needs the elaboration of a printing plate, created with appropriate tools (drypoint, chisels, cutters ...) or with the use of varnish, aquatint or acid bite.

Metal, wood, or other materials are used as supports and will, once inked, print a mark on the paper.

Engraving responds to precise rules that are the foundations of its originality.

Technical mastery and diversity of expressions are found among the engravers of the engraving section of the Salon d’Automne.
