jean paul lemieux

Jean Paul Lemieux (18 November, 1904 - 7 December, 1990) is one of the foremost painters of twentieth century Qubec. He was born in Qubec City, where he also died (Colin S. Macdonald claims he died in Montral). He was raised in Qubec City until 1916, when his family moved to Berkeley, California. In 1917, the family returned to Qubec and settled in Montral. From 1926 to 1934, Jean Paul Lemieux studied under Edwin Holgate and others at the cole des Beaux-Arts de Montral (Montral School of Fine Arts). In 1929, he travels to Europe with his mother. In Paris, he studied advertising and art, frequents other artists. Lemieux took teaching positions from 1934, first at the cole des Beaux-Arts de Montral, then in 1935 at the cole du meuble (Furniture School). In 1937, he moved to Qubec City and taught at the cole des Beaux-Arts de Qubec until his retirement in 1965. His connections at that period include other major artists associated with these schools, such as Alfred Pellan and Paul-mile Borduas. Jean Paul Lemieux received several awards for his works, including the Louis-Phillipe Hbert prize in 1971 and the Molson Prize for the Canada Council for the Arts in 1974. In 1968, he became a Companion of the Order of Canada. He was also a member of the Royal Canadian Academy.

Artistic career

The Muse National des Beaux-Arts du Qubec and other sources divide Jean Paul Lemieux's career into five periods:

the Montreal period (1926-1937), marked by realistic naturalism influenced by Quebec regionalists and, later, European postimpressionist modernism.
the Primitive period (1940-1947), focused on "anecdote and accumulated scenic detail" (MNBAQ).
the Minimalist period (1951-1955), with cubist structures, signals a major turning point in the artist's career.
the "Classical" period (1956-1970), with a "figurativeness dear to Lemieux, albeit fuelled by the sources and practices of abstract art" (MNBAQ). It is in this period that Lemieux produced the paintings of lonely figures in desolate, simplistic landscapes for which he is so well-known today.
the "Expressionist" period (after 1970), presenting humanity living in a bleak, hopeless world.
