Be Calm (from Recueil des Secrets de Louise Bourgeois) is a 2005 limited edition by French-American artist Louise Bourgeois. The work combines a drypoint etching with selective wiping and an offset lithograph with embossing, housed in a finely crafted artist’s book and portfolio box.

Evoking Bourgeois’s recurring themes of motherhood, anxiety, and introspection, the edition juxtaposes intimate text and image with a meditative visual restraint. Printed by Harlan & Weaver, New York, the edition is hand-signed and numbered in pencil in an edition of 40 plus proofs.
