About the Item

Lorne Bouchard, Canadian, 1913-1978 Barn in Quebec, 1968 Oil on board 8 x 10 in Signed lower left; signed, titled and dated verso framed Lorne Bouchard Biography (1913 - 1978) RCA Born in Montreal, he studied at the Barnes School of Art. He was encouraged by Clarence Gagnon to paint the Quebec landscape. His talent was recognized by both Gagnon and Maurice Cullen, who were influential in his early artistic development. At the age of 16 he exhibited with the Royal Canadian Academy at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. For 11 years he worked as a label designer at the Dennison Company and then was an illustrator for the firms Rapid Grip and Batten Limited and Bomac Limited. He applied his paint with a palette knife and brushes and continually searched for faster drying mediums for outdoor painting. Working quickly, he caught the effect of sunlight and atmosphere and finished his pictures in one sitting. In other work, he painted with watercolour, charcoal, casein, polymer, resins, tempera and felt tipped pen and ink which he applied directly to the paper. During his early career he earned his living as a commercial designer, while continuing to paint in his free time. In 1952 he turned to free-lance illustration work. Weekend Magazine, Issue No. 1, 1963, recorded his trip in a 60’ river boat from Great Slave Lake to the Arctic Ocean in August of 1962 with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. David Molson. The dunnage included 300 pounds of his sketching equipment. Good weather made the trip very successful and the sun didn’t set until 11 o’clock in the evening, allowing him many hours of painting. A few of these paintings appeared also in that issue. Among his commissions were magazine covers as well as large paintings for the board rooms of corporations such as Seagrams and Nordair. He was much infuenced by the landscape of Northern Quebec, which he first visited in 1928. Generally drawn to wild and isolated regions around the country, such places served as inspiration for his landscape painting. He was a location painter, working quickly to capture the atmospheric effects of light. His style can be described as a combination of realism and impressionism. He was a member of the Montreal Art Association and the Royal Canadian Academy of Artists. He died in Montreal at the age of 65.

Artist Comments
Artist Brian McCarty depicts a quiet rural home behind a red barn. Surrounded by a field of grass and autumnal trees, a car sits on the winding dirt path. "Everyday life is caught in a moment," says Brian. "Arriving home, or getting ready to leave home. A lazy afternoon." Just the type of subject Brian loves to paint.


About the Artist
Artist Brian McCarty paints idyllic landscapes and bucolic architecture. “Growing up in rural New Jersey, I’ve always found old houses, barns, and the countryside interesting subjects,” says Brian. Influenced by his mom who was a self-taught artist and art teacher, she encouraged Brian to pursue anything artistic. After graduating from Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art and earning his BA in Art from Thomas Edison State College, he worked professionally as a graphic designer in New York for the largest publishing houses in the country. A career that spanned thirty-six years. Brian has done comedy and sketch writing with the Groundling Theater, and worked in a few major feature films as an actor. To begin his process, Brian takes photos of his references with an iPad, crops the images to his liking, and paints directly on his canvas with a quick oil wash. Recently returning to painting full time, he converted a room in his house into a working studio. “I get lots of natural light, and listen to music and podcasts while I paint.”
