Covering the Artist Lars Bo’s Engraving Workshop

Lars Bo has dedicated his life to populating paper with dreamlike creatures and landscapes born from Scandinavian imagination. The Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève offers a unique perspective on the behind-the-scenes of his work, focusing on the secrets of the making of his etchings and engravings. Rather than simply contemplating the final result, visitors here observe the reverse side of the operation: the gestures, tools, and technical expertise needed to transform a metal plate into a poetic vision. This journey complements the other aspect of the tribute dedicated to the artist’s visions, offering a concrete perspective on his creative genius. It’s a rare opportunity to appreciate the precision of an artisan whose talent blurs the boundaries between reality and illusion. This presentation is accessible from April 17th to July 11th, 2026.
