Alfred Pellan Prints and Multiples

Canadian, 1906-1988
Alfred Pellan (1906–1988) was one of the most influential figures in Canadian and Québec modern art. Born in Québec City, Pellan studied at the École des beaux-arts de Québec before spending more than a decade in Paris, where his work was shaped by European modernism, particularly Cubism and Surrealism. His imaginative compositions, brilliant color and fantastic imagery helped introduce a new visual language to Canadian art. Although celebrated as a painter, Pellan was also a prolific graphic artist whose published works form an important part of his artistic legacy. He produced drawings, prints, serigraphs and illustrations, frequently translating the fantastic creatures, masks, abstract forms and dreamlike imagery of his paintings into works on paper and limited editions. Pellan had a particularly strong relationship with literature and poetry. He created illustrations for important Québec writers, including Alain Grandbois's Les îles de la nuit (1944), Éloi de Grandmont's Le voyage d'Arlequin (1946), and later Claude Péloquin's Pellan-Pellan (1976) and Le cirque sacré (1981). These collaborations united poetry with Pellan's highly personal Surrealist imagery. During the 1970s he also produced a significant body of published and editioned serigraphs, including works from his celebrated Bestiaire imagery. Prints such as Bestiaire, Façonnage, Andante, Jeunesse and Joie de vivre demonstrate his mastery of graphic composition and color while making his imagery available beyond the unique painted work.
