Claude Langevin is a Quebec artist born in Montreal in 1942
Claude Langevin is a self-taught artist who paints landscapes in the Canadian tradition. Like the well-known Group of Seven artists, he begins with the unique reality of Canadian landscape and presents his own highly-personal interpretation using bold colours, imaginative composition and interesting explorations of perspective. Early in his career, Langevin worked with acrylic and spatula but, after “rediscovering” the work of Tom Thomson and Clarence Gagnon, began to use oil and brush.
For more than five decades, he used this medium to paint countryside scenes throughout the province of Quebec and the Maritimes.
Claude Langevin died on September 6, 2024 at the age of 82, leaving a body of work that marks the memory of Quebec and Canadian figurative art.
