Summary:
Amorcée dès le début des années quarante auprès de Paul-Émile Borduas et du groupe automatiste, la pratique artistique de Jean-Paul Mousseau (1927-1991) est indissociable des changements qui, au cours des années cinquante et soixante, ont contribué à façonner le Québec moderne. Peintures, dessins, collages, tissus peints, scultpures et objects lumineux ont ponctué une démarche également marquée par d'importantes réalisations dans le domaine des arts de la scène, de l'art intégré à l'architecture et de la culture populaire.

Summary:
Guido Molinari (1933-2004) was one of the greatest Canadian artists of the 20th century. A largely self-taught painter who went on to exhibit to critical acclaim for over 50 years, he maintained a fierce independence in the face of the many schools and movements that marked the early years of abstract art. Citing his greatest influences as the European Piet Mondrian and the American Jackson Pollock, Guido Molinari produced works that perhaps only a Montreal artist could have created at that time. This substantial monograph provides a first-ever overview of the artist and his work.
