Winter scene painted in Quebec in 1952, an original work on paper by Claude Picher (1927–1998). The gouache, a technique Picher mastered for its ability to convey the cold and vibrant light of Quebec winters, gives this composition remarkable chromatic intensity. A dated and signed collector's item from the artist's formative period.
About the artist
Claude Picher (Quebec City, 1927–1998) is one of Quebec's most esteemed landscape painters. Trained at the École des beaux-arts de Québec, he continued his education in New York, at the École du Louvre, and at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris thanks to a scholarship from the French government. After positions at the Musée du Québec and the National Gallery of Canada, he devoted himself entirely to painting from 1964. His landscapes of Charlevoix, Gaspésie, and the Quebec City region earned him international recognition. His works are held in numerous public and private collections in Canada.
