Provenance:
Galerie Camille Hébert, Montreal, inventory #HFM 27
Acquired on April 4, 1963 for $75 by
Edgar and Dorothy Davidson, Montreal and then moving to Ottawa in 1972
Notes:
Henriette Fauteux-Massé's first foray into the arts was as a dancer; it was not until she was 17 that she began painting. She painted in a traditional landscape style until 1952, when she received a scholarship to study at the André Lhote studio in Paris. Following her return to Montreal, her artistic vision was revolutionized and, from 1954 to 1970, she painted solely abstract work.
