Marc-Aurèle FORTIN

 

Marc-Aurèle Fortin was born in 1888 in Sainte-Rose, on the outskirts of Montreal. He spent his childhood in the shade of imperial elm trees, which would become a preferred subject from 1920 to 1930 and also brought him renown. In 1939, he participated in the New York World Fair, where he was awarded the bronze medal for his painting March Snow, and in 1942, he was elected an associate member of the Royal Canadian Academy. His work was the subject of several retrospectives during his lifetime, including an exhibition in 1944 at the National Gallery of Canada that travelled to Montreal and Quebec City.

        MARC-AURÈLE FORTIN

        Marc-Aurèle Fortin (né en 1888 à Sainte-Rose, et décédé en 1970 à Macamic, tous deux au Québec) est un artiste peintre québécois. Son œuvre est entièrement consacrée au paysage (surtout rural), et démontre son goût pour la nature somptueuse et généreuse. Membre associé de l’Académie royale des arts du Canada à partir de 1942, Fortin fait l’objet d’une rétrospective au Musée du Québec en 1944. Ses nombreuses productions, ses expériences de différentes techniques et sa vision personnelle de la nature en font un pionnier de l’art moderne au Québec.
