Notes:
Substantial work by Roméo Savoie (Canadian, 1928-2023) from his "Series Abres."
Savoie received New Brunswick's Lieutenant Governor's Award for High Achievement in Visual Arts in 2009. In the award catalogue, ArtsNB describes Savoie as one of " Acadie’s most important visual artists. As one of the first wave of contemporary Acadian artists, he has made a significant contribution to creating a richer and more dynamic cultural climate not only in New Brunswick but throughout the Atlantic region...Critics and art historians remind us that he is the first abstract painter in eastern Canada. A forerunner and mentor to several generations of younger artists, Savoie’s groundbreaking work has been an inspiration to countless artists."
