Catalogue Note

Denise Leclerc writes:

Claude Tousignant's main goal thus far has been to allow us to experience the sensation of colour in its purest state. Devoting himself entirely to the task of marshalling all his exceptional talents as a colourist, he has made colour his central concern and in so doing, has paid it the most resounding tribute.
