SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Jean-Paul Jérôme (1928–2004) contributed to the renewal of abstraction in Quebec. He studied at Montreal’s École des beaux-arts from 1945 to 1952, then learned fresco techniques with Stanley Cosgrove. After landscapes and still lifes influenced by Cubism, he turned to abstraction in 1953. Two years later, he founded the Plasticiens with Jauran, Louis Belzile and Fernand Toupin. A stay in Paris from 1956 to 1958 broadened his artistic contacts; he exhibited at Galerie Arnaud in 1957. His abstract painting intuitively absorbed different movements, including Op Art, while his late compositions evoke fragments of broken glass. Back in Quebec, he taught until 1973. In 2001 the Musée du Bas-Saint-Laurent organised a retrospective that subsequently travelled across Canada.
