Since the earliest artistic expressions, humans have sought to capture and express the complexity of the world around them.

Engraving, in particular, stands out for its magical ability to transform material into a work of art, blending technique and creativity.

Each artist can express their unique personality and style. Engravers use a variety of tools, such as drypoints, burins, and etching needles, to work with different materials such as metal and wood.

These techniques allow for the creation of visual effects and surfaces rich in detail.

But engraving is not just a matter of technique; it also follows precise rules that give it its essence and originality.

In the Engraving section of the Salon d'Automne, the selection of works on display allows visitors to discover the richness and diversity of this art form.
