Literature
René Gagnon, né en 1928 à Chicoutimi, est un peintre paysagiste canadien autodidacte. Dès l’âge de 16 ans, il développe son talent en côtoyant des artistes québécois comme Marc-Aurèle Fortin et René Richard grâce à son oncle marchand d’art.
Il expose pour la première fois en 1959 à Arvida, puis à Montréal et New York. En 1967, il fonde la Galerie des peintres canadiens à la Place des Arts. Son art s’exporte à l’international, notamment à Paris dans les années 1970 et en Asie en 1995, où il peint la jungle malaisienne lors d’un séjour dans le parc Taman Negara. En 2004, il explore les paysages marocains, notamment le désert d’Ouarzazate.
En 2014, il inaugure le Petit musée René Gagnon dans le Vieux-Montréal après 30 ans d’absence dans la métropole. Reconnu pour ses paysages du Saguenay et des Laurentides, il décède en janvier 2022 à 93 ans.
