René Derouin (1936, Montreal) lives in Val-David, a municipality in Quebec’s Laurentians region, north of Montreal.

Appreciated across several continents, René Derouin’s work has been widely exhibited in Quebec, Canada and abroad, most notably in Mexico, where he has received the highest honours from the Mexican government. In a 1985 interview, Derouin said: “At the Atelier Libre, I was able to benefit from a training environment, from the presence of a group that was forming [...] partly to recapture what I had experienced in Mexico during a stay in an engraving studio. I produced my first etching on Rue Marie-Anne, and it was Pierre Ayot who introduced me to this technique [...]”.

From 1975 to 2005, Tousignant had a career as a professor in the art history department at the University of Montreal.

Michel Leclair (1948, Montreal) is part of that generation of artists who contributed to the development of artistic creation in Quebec, particularly in printmaking. He is associated with Atelier Graff, of which he was a key member. In the 1970s and 1980s, Graff was recognized as one of the most dynamic places for printmaking creation, research, and dissemination. After studying arts, Leclair first dedicated himself to printmaking before choosing photography as his main means of expression in the 1980s. He also resorts to painting to create works that are neither quite photos nor quite paintings. He is an artist who observes nature - the landscape, the street, the shop window, the human - to reveal his inner landscapes. Michel Leclair created 'Bagels' for the collective album Graff Dinner in 1978. For more information about the artist, we invite you to visit: michel-leclair.com

Estimated Value: $700

In 1978, Graff launched a creative and humorous project that brought together twenty-seven members of his studio to create an artist’s book that reimagined the traditional cookbook. Each artist created an original print that reflected both their unique artistic practice and a recipe. Once complete, these twenty-seven recipes were then carefully arranged in a case designed by Pierre Ouvrard, giving rise to Graff Dinner. Accompagnant Graff Dinner,a grand banquet was organised where each artist prepared their own recipe to share, creating a most eccentric feast. This publishing project is the third of its kind following Pilulorum (1968) and the Graffofones (1973), marking a significant chapter in the history of the Atelier Graff. Graff Dinner thus brings together all the printing techniques practised at the Atelier Graff and also illustrates the Quebec trend and tradition of the artist’s book during the 1970s.

The collective’s demise was sealed when two of its members died of AIDS in 1994. Bronson continued as an independent artist in Toronto and Berlin, often collaborating with younger generations, as recently seen in his performance series Invocation of the Queer Spirits. In 2011, he was awarded the title of Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres on behalf of General Idea by François Mitterrand, then French Minister of Culture.

1994
Engraved wood, etching, screen print

C.A. I/II

Estimated Value: $1,800

Yves Boucher  (1964, Ville-Marie) finds his artistic expression through the medium of printmaking. As a young apprentice, Boucher proved himself a virtuoso of composition. Recipient of the Albert-Dumouchel Prize upon completing his Bachelor of Visual Arts at UQAM (1994), he was invited that same year to the Baie-Saint-Paul International Symposium of Contemporary Art. He taught drawing at the National Theatre School before taking up the post of art teacher at the Cégep de Sherbrooke. The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri (1265/67–1321) features in Boucher’s works at two distinct stages of his artistic career; from 1990 to 1995 (The Circle of Hell) and from 2016 to the present (Le Paradis). Dante’s epic poem inspired Boucher to refine his printing methods. He increased the number of passes through the press to capture this poetic richness. Each copy requires a faithful reproduction of this complexity, which limits the number of works produced. His creations are held in the collections of the Musée des beaux-arts de Québec, Loto-Québec, the Musée d'art de Baie-Saint-Paul and the Canada Council Art Bank.
