In 1919, Clarence Gagnon returned to Quebec from Paris, settling in Baie-Saint-Paul, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in Charlevoix County, where he developed deep ties with the area’s inhabitants. Due to its picturesque scenery, Baie-Saint-Paul was a magnet for artists, and Gagnon met visiting painters such as A.Y. Jackson, Mabel May, Albert H. Robinson and Edwin Holgate. Gagnon explored the surrounding countryside in all seasons, on skis or on foot, painting fresh, on-the-spot panels such as this charming work. Gagnon took great care with his materials, such as grinding his own pigments, which he imported from the Paris firm of Morin et Tanet, and the intensity and purity of his hues is seen here in the rich shades of blue. He was known for his brilliant whites, tinged with delicate pastels, which light up this fine winter scene. In this cluster of buildings nestled into the snow, the viewer can sense Gagnon’s warm feeling for this unique, unspoiled countryside. In 1925, Gagnon would return to Paris for his fifth sojourn there, although he continued to produce works based on Quebec imagery.
