Lot Report

Provenance:

Galerie Valentin, Montreal

Literature:

Guy Robert, Dallaire ou l’oeil panique, Éditions France-Amerique, Montreal, 1980, page 93.

Note:

As Guy Robert indicates, “En 1951, le pinceau de Dallaire se montre de nouveau très actif.” During this year, Jean-Philippe Dallaire executed several major works including the mural Québec sous le Régime français at the Industrial Alliance Head Office in Québec City. This playful work of a startlingly successful bear hunt, contrasts the serious nature of his political works and alludes to the skills he would hone as a draughtsman at the National Film Board of Canada in Ottawa (1952-1956).
