In 1948 he signed the manifesto Prisme d’Yeux, formed in reponse to the more radical ideological approach of the Automatists, along with Alfred Pellan, Albert Dumouchel, Jacques de Tonnancour, Louis Archambault and others. Through his association with Prisme d’Yeux, he came to be influenced by Surrealism and the work of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Joan Miró. Bellefleur’s oeuvre is characterized by rich lyrical abstraction, and in his paintings, colour, movement and form dynamically combine. In 1954, Bellefleur traveled to Europe, setting up a studio in Paris where he experimented with painting techniques, working with a spatula to create dimensional effects. In 1966 he returned to Quebec permanently. Bellefleur was given a retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada in 1968, and his works have been acquired by public collections such the National Gallery of Canada, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Initially he lived in a small apartment in Meudon, a suburb of Paris, then spent six months in Brittany. Based in the village of Tréboul, he enjoyed the isolation, which enabled him to concentrate on his painting. Due to the impending threat of war, he returned to Canada at the end of that year. His exposure to the work he had seen in France, particularly Soutine’s explosive colour and chaotic compositions, was a liberating experience for Borenstein. His work became known for its energetic, expressionist style, and his subjects were most often vivid cityscapes and rural scenes, such as this dynamic painting.

He studied at the Avni Academy in Tel Aviv, followed by the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. From 1967 to 1989, Chaki was head of Painting and Drawing in the Department of Fine Arts at the Saidye Bronfman Centre. His work is in the permanent collections of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Musée D’art Contemporain de Montreal, the Fort Lauderdale Museum, Florida, Eretz Israel Museum, Musée de Toulon, France and the Museo de Arte Moderna in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Prestigious corporate collections such as the Canadian Embassy in Argentina, the Canadian Consulate in New York, Coca-Cola Limited, Husky Oil and Gaz Metropolitain have acquired his work.

Use of photography as a point of departure, a coolness of viewpoint and the depiction of subjects that were considered to be worthwhile of artistic regard simply because they existed, were characteristics of New Realism. Pratt's significance has been recognized in retrospective exhibitions at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Fredericton and the London Regional Art Gallery. Her work is in numerous public collections, such as the National Gallery of Canada, the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. Pratt uses photography as a tool for studying the ephemeral qualities of light in her subjects, which are chosen from her immediate environment. Her method of painting is exacting - using small sable brushes and a fluid medium of turpentine and stand oil, she paints with small cross-hatched strokes which blend together into a smooth, flawless surface. Pratt depicts everyday objects in her still life tableaus with a vision devoid of irony and sentimentality, and although she uses the cool gaze of the camera, she infuses the work with an unmistakable sensuality. This is felt in Orange on Tinfoil in the juiciness of the pulp in the just-peeled fruit, the vibrant colour and the extraordinary beauty of the play of light on surfaces. Light scintillates in the sheen of the pulp and breaks into coloured shards in the reflective surface of the tinfoil. The orange, carefully displayed to reveal its beauty, enticing the viewer with its radiance, becomes something more than the everyday. Orange on Tinfoil is a superb painting that contains the essence of Pratt’s awareness of unique perceptual moments and her intense and sensual response to life.

They are primary vehicles for public dialogue about emotional, intellectual and aesthetic values, providing a subjective platform for human connection in our global society. An International art fair plays an important role in the building and sharing of cultural values. It creates opportunities for global connections and highlights the diverse interests of artists, collectors, dealers, museums, scholars and the public. It is with great excitement and pride that I am presenting the 9th annual Toronto International Art Fair - Art Toronto 2008. With an impressive line up of national and international galleries alongside an exciting roster of cultural partners and participants, TIAF has become an important and vital event on the Canadian cultural calendar.

  • Alfred Pellan Le Rêveur Éveillé
    Communiqué Nouvelle exposition Dès le 20 février 2014 Alfred Pellan Le rêveur éveillé Québec, le mercredi 19 février 2014 ¤ Dans la foulée du redéploiement de ses collections dans le nouveau complexe muséal, le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec est heureux de consacrer, une salle à l’artiste Alfred Pellan, avec l’exposition Alfred Pellan. Le rêveur éveillé. Le pavillon Charles-Baillairgé, deviendra le haut lieu pour quatre artistes marquants de l’histoire de l’art québécois, Quatre figures de l’art moderne au Québec, soit Jean Paul Lemieux, Alfred Pellan, Fernand Leduc et Jean-Paul Riopelle. Alfred Pellan a travaillé toute sa carrière à construire et à maintenir une œuvre indépendante, en marge des groupements artistiques établis, tant en France, pays qu’il a habité de 1926 à 1940, qu’au Canada, où il est considéré comme l’un des ténors de la modernité culturelle. Aussi singulier soit-il, son art a néanmoins été perméable à certaines influences modernes et d’avant-garde. Ainsi, sa production parisienne est en partie traversée par une forme d’abstraction picturale empreinte des acquis du cubisme, et plusieurs de ses œuvres, dont quelques-unes réalisées dans la deuxième moitié des années 1930, présentent des éléments proprement surréalistes. Le Musée est subventionné par le ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec 1/13 L’exposition Alfred Pellan. Le rêveur éveillé propose une immersion dans l’univers visuel de l’artiste en vue de mettre en relief comment l’influence surréaliste se manifesta progressivement dans son travail, jusqu’à ce qu’elle apparaisse indéniable et qu’il la revendique pleinement.

En vertu de leur mandat, ceux-ci ont la tâche difficile de concilier leurs fonctions de délectation et d’éducation du public. Certains favorisent une approche plutôt que l’autre, mais tous portent un regard subjectif sur ce qu’ils exposent. Même si les œuvres semblent être disposées naturellement dans les salles, tout ce qui relève de la conception et de la réalisation des expositions est savamment construit et résulte d’un parti-pris de la part du musée. En fonction de ses choix, c’est-à-dire de ce qu’elle présente ou non et comment elle le fait, l’institution muséale participe à la définition de ce qu’est l’art et influence la signification des œuvres.
