Although he had been influenced by his friend Pellan, he began to record the unconscious, creating coded atmospheres, states of mind and crystalline structures, as seen here in this work. He once said: “The fundamental discoveries for me were poetry, surrealism and esoterism - and, in art, a certain automatism translating the life of dreams and the unconscious, the world of chance and mystery”. In 1945, he travelled to Paris to study engraving...and continued to go there regularly. In 1960, along with Paul-Émile Borduas, Jean Paul Riopelle, Harold Town, and Edmund Alleyn, he represented Canada at the Guggenheim International. Through his career, Bellefleur won numerous awards and grants, and he was made a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1989.

“Flaming Twins”, a unique bronze sculpture created as homage to the attack on the Twin Towers of New York City, on September 11th, 2001. The plaque reads “Flaming Twins 1/1, G. Rainville 2001, Remember 911”, attached to a black marble plinth, measuring 25 1/2 x 5 x 5 inches. When Gilbert Rainville returned to Quebec, after living in British Columbia for several years, he joined up with Roger-André Bourgault, renown sculptor from St-Jean-Port-Joli, and they proceeded to the creation of bronze, and combined bronze and granite sculptures, for which Gilbert did all the foundry operations, right down to the finishing and multi-colored patinas. They did this for over ten years, until the untimely death of Roger-André Bourgault. Those sculptures are in many collections in Quebec and across Canada, in addition to the United States and abroad. During this time, in 2001, Rainville, on one of his hikes into the woods to find rocks for these sculptures, discovered two large mushrooms, joined together as twins, and decided to bronze them to be mounted on some type of base. While he was finishing this process, the horrible events of 9/11 happened, and, Gilbert thought that his ‘’Twins’’ should be incorporated into a sculpture dedicated to the memory of these terrible and historic events.

This pastel is included in the Catalogue Raisonné of the artist, under the number VIII-207. It represents the field behind «Château Rouge », the villegiature residence that the Hessels rented during summers 1905 to 1907. Vuillard made a series of these rapid sketches of the surrounding of the house (from VIII-182 to VIII-224). It has been recorded that he spent “a lot of time” with Mrs. Hessel. They allow us to revise our judgment about Vuillard and the feeling of nature, as they all show how the painter can be instilled by landscapes, and outdoors in general. This pastel is exactly in this vein, a delicate foray in Vuillard’s peregrinations across fields and woods. Monsieur Mathias Chivot kindly confirmed that this artwork is registered in the Archives Vuillard.

Aelbert CUYP (1620 - 1691) Dutch

Untitled, graceful barnyard, large oil on canvas, relined, 35 x 50 1/2 inches, signed lower right. Provenance: Prominent Westmount family. Aelbert Cuyp’s graceful barnyard work is likely one of the last grand paintings of his life. Once he married Cornelia Bosman in 1658, his artistic career gradually came to a halt. In the early 1650s, Cuyp transitioned away from landscape painting and created many large-scale works that focused on foreground figures. Here, Cuyp depicts various large scale barnyard animals; a male mallard with its female and a duckling, another fowl sitting on higher grounds, who all appear to be chasing away a rooster, which Cuyp highlighted by his masterful use of the full chromatic scale of twilight colours. The application of light brown and straw yellow tones, which he learned early on in his career from the prolific Dutch painter Jan van Goyen, give the subjects an added depth and luminosity that sets Cuyp’s work apart from his contemporaries. Cuyp was one of the Dutch leading Golden Age painters.

Willem DOOYEWAARD (1892 - 1980) Dutch

Untitled, a Balinese man with his fighting rooster, oil on canvas, 29 1/2 x 24 inches, signed lower right. Condition note, minor flaking about 2-2 1/2” long. Provenance: Van Leeuwen Estate, Ottawa. Willem Dooyewaard’s work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Dooyewaard appears to have had a great passion for Asia, a passion he shared with a man who would become his soul brother, the Austrian painter Roland Strasser (1895-1974). Dooyewaard was greatly influenced by Strasser. In 1931, shortly after marrying Jacoba Reinders in Japan, he enjoys a third stay in Bali. During this period, his work developed into the impressionist style that Dooyewaard is best known for; we can view his determined style in this work - recorded as one of his favouritesthe Balinese cock fighters.
