BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Paul Duval, Canadian Impressionism, 1990, page 42

Maurice Cullen is one of Canada’s great Impressionist painters, having been exposed to this important movement through his training in France at the École des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Julian, where he absorbed the freshness of the Impressionist palette and techniques. Cullen had a profound connection to the Laurentians, and established a cabin on the shore of Lac Tremblant in the early 1920s so that he could paint there. Paul Duval writes that the Laurentians were Cullen's "first and final love...He spent much of his life in the Laurentians, mostly alone in winter, studying and painting the pristine light and forms of a virgin world...Cullen’s attachment to Lac Tremblant and the Cache River that emptied into it was as passionate as that of Monet’s to Giverny.” Cullen often painted the Cache River, and this fine winter scene with deep water and delicately coloured tones in the ice and snow is wrapped in the dramatic, brooding quality of the surrounding landscape. There is no human presence in these works, other than Cullen’s reverent eye communicating his profound experience.
