Seemingly contradictory, this statement nevertheless has the merit of showing to what extent landscape painting suffered from the absence of new visions. The Archbishop delivers a very careful style that gives his works a poetic imprint of great beauty. His unctuous and fragmented touch leads the spectator into a magical space that is nevertheless anchored in reality in a very tangible way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Archbishop worked for a long time as an illustrator in the advertising field. Several of his graphic designs have become classics, including his creations for Quebec milk producers and for Prudentielle, which recount notable sporting exploits such as Canada's hockey victory over Russia. Previously, his many popular book covers earned him a certain notoriety. His extraordinary manual dexterity allowed him to design pictorial works of a rarely achieved plastic quality, but it also, paradoxically, served him poorly on certain occasions by causing him to tip into an overly illustrative, not to say sentimental, atmosphere. The climates and representations created by the Archbishop remain fragile spaces that are easily threatened with falling into the trap of exacerbated romanticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOf all L'Archevêque's talents, one should not overlook his as a colorist, who sensitively marks his paintings. There are few equivalents in landscape painting, and even in Quebec painting as a whole. His chromatic harmonies are simply breathtaking, grandiose. The artist always manages to find tonal variations that give his palette an exemplary richness. Never too strong or sweet, his iridescent designs offer their splendor to the eye. His most significant works are composed of landscapes excluding all human traces […]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Source: Robert Bernier, Painting in Quebec since the 1960s, Les Éditions de l'Homme, 2002, L'Archevȇque, André L'Archevȇque (1923), pages 296-297. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f170ae3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f170ae3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003e TO LEARN MORE: \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c13ea9 elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"1c13ea9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Andr%C3%A9_L%27Archev%C3%AAque\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"\u003eWikipedia - André L'Archevêque\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"andre-larcheveque-a-la-ferme-du-ravin-12x16-po-30-48-40-64-cm","title":"André Larchévêque, À la Ferme du Ravin 12×16 in \/\/ 30.48×40.64 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndré L'Archevêque\u003c\/strong\u003e, À la Ferme du Ravin 12x16 in \/ 30.48×40.64 cm is an oil on canvas painting.
