Crossword Genius

Use over-produced works of art. (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oeuvres

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'works of art' is the definition.
'oeuvres' can be an answer for 'works' (an oeuvre is someone's collected works). I'm unsure of the 'of art' bit.

'use over-produced' is the wordplay.
'produced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'use'+'over'='useover'
'useover' anagrammed gives 'OEUVRES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for oeuvres that I've seen is " Bodies of (literary) works".)
