Urban tribute to Marcelle Ferron
Marcelle Ferron has campaigned throughout her career to make art accessible to all in the heart of the city. Dedicating an exhibition to her in a public space to celebrate the centenary of her birth therefore makes sense. Until September 22, the public is invited to discover, while strolling along Bernard Street, which is pedestrianized for the summer, the advent of the work of this leading artist of modernity and abstract art in Quebec. Along the route, 12 panels show Marcelle Ferron’s aesthetic evolution, from her first paintings in the 1950s to the creation of her large public murals in the 1960s and 1970s.
