Jacques Hurtubise : Four Decades Image After Image

A retrospective of Hurtubise's work from the 1960s to the 1990s. While Graham gives a decade-by-decade account of the artist's itinerary, Gagnon analyses and contextualizes his production by drawing attention to its formal aspects (symmetry, the blot, the splash) and its technical ones (the paint roller, the grid, the stencil). Among themes addressed : cerebrality / spontaneity, the influence of New York, China and Pop Art. Includes quotations from the artist. Elaborate biographical notes. Circa 140 bibl. ref
