Curator Robert Bernier invites us to an exhibition-retrospective dedicated to Paul Tex Lecor.
He was at the same time author, composer, performer, humorist, airplane pilot, frequent traveler and above all a draftsman and a painter of great talent.
The visitor will make, through works of art from different periods, artefacts and personal archives, a foray into the life and work of this multidisciplinary artist.
An ardent defender of the French language and of the history of Quebec on the move, Paul Tex Lecor casts a tender and empathetic gaze on the people of Quebec. He magnifies it by staging it in his daily life and in his larger-than-life geographic spaces.
