"The light of the Automatistes, held and crossed through glass."
The signature
A 1948 signatory of Refus global, Marcelle Ferron stands among the great Automatistes voices alongside Borduas. Her gestural painting and stained glass — most famously at Champ-de-Mars métro — brought free colour into Québec's public space.
Lineage
Borduas / Automatistes lineage — same school as Françoise Sullivan, already in the portfolio.
