The exhibition was edited by Hélène Reeb, who writes about it:
“Part of the exhibition presents works by engravers of Greek and Cypriot origin, who lived for a number of years throughout their research or for many of their lives in France, most of them in Paris.
These engravings have been created in France and their artistry reveals developments in engraving artwork in France on the time they studied or lived there, whereas their inspiration reveals the inside world of the artist, each French and Greek.
One other a part of the exhibition proposes some engravings by main artists made in Greece on the finish of the twentieth century, years after the time of their research in Paris”
