PROVENANCE
A Prominent Montreal Family Estate

Paul Beaulieu owned a studio in Montparnasse, Paris and was living there, surrounded by the creative ferment of the Parisian art scene, when the Nazis invaded in the city in 1940. Along with Jean-Philippe Dallaire, Beaulieu was arrested and interned at the St-Denis camp just outside the city. At the end of the war he was released, briefly returning to Canada, where he secured Dr. Max Stern of the Dominion Gallery as his dealer, and thus was able to send works created in France back to Canada. He then reclaimed his original Paris studio, working there until 1973. Beaulieu’s work reflects the influence of Expressionist painters Georges Rouault and Bernard Buffet. His non-objective abstracts are revered for their richness of colour and boldness of form. Sans titre is a perfect example of this, being composed of a number of hot, deeply saturated colours set against a layered, neutral, yet fully alive ground. Evocatively figural, this work has a fine tactile surface and a pleasing sense of balance.
