Printmaking, although traditionally perceived as an ancient art form, remains a major art form that continues to have a significant influence on contemporary art.

As a versatile medium, its many techniques and applications allow artists a multitude of possibilities to express their vision.

Engraving artists use traditional techniques (xylography, intaglio or etching) and incorporate othermediums: collage, painting, digital printing, to produce original works.

Technological advances are pushing back the limits of traditional engraving and open up new possibilities for artistic expression.

The works of printmakers exhibited at the Salon d’Automne give a glimpse into the creative world of contemporary printmaking, an art in perpetual evolution. (Translated by Louise Gaumé)
