Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
Private Collection, Montreal
Notes:
Prévost is known for his paintings of figures contemplating vast landscapes stripped of extraneous details. Typically, these figures are anonymous, looking away from the viewer into a dream-like world, as in this evocative work. Prévost's watercolours are painted with minute strokes, which create volume, texture and shading with great precision. Although Prévost's figures derive from his Québécois memories, they exist in a timeless space, spectators in a reality tinged with surrealism.
