PROVENANCE
Private Collection, Montreal

Clarence Gagnon was an avid skier, and he used this method of transportation to reach the remote villages of rural Quebec that he was so fond of painting when they were coated with a blanket of snow. Skiing also allowed him access in winter to rivers to fish and the forest to hunt, as he was unable to support himself solely through the sale of his art at various times in his life. Gagnon was a master at creating a sense of harmony between the natural elements in his paintings - the trees, snow and sky - and those that were man-made, such as barns, fences, roads and churches. His impressionist techniques are in part responsible for this fluid harmony, in which light dapples over all evenly - but it is also Gagnon’s sensitivity to subject that is at play here. His affinity and affection for the simplest of places, such as this group of plain buildings at the edge of a forest, is at the heart of their sensitive, respectful depiction.
