In December 2003, Cécile Reims donated a set of 108 copper engravings to the Chalcographie department of the Musée du Louvre. This donation is a unique addition to the collections of an institution whose origins date back to the very creation of the museum. This coherent ensemble, selected by the artist, offers a remarkable panorama of Cécile Reims' engraved work, focusing on personal, often unpublished works, and raising, in their complementarity, a very profound question about the meaning of interpretive engraving. Cécile Reims' own words on this donation should be quoted to underline its unity: "What I have done, however disparate, has been done with rigor, in a continuous process, and perhaps it only makes sense once it's all together, as a whole, that is, as a path - and not as little stones thrown here and there. That's how the idea of the donation came to me".

The work and its artist

Cécile Reims

The technical mastery of engraving with a chisel, a difficult and demanding discipline, is quite remarkable for Cécile Reims. Curiously, she did not have a press in her studio and therefore did not print her own brass, neither during her work nor at the end of the production. All the prints were made at the Moret workshops in his presence.
