Reflections:
The Self-Portraits of Gerald Trottier
|
||
|
|
Over a period of more than fifty years, Gerald Trottier has studied his reflection in a mirror, endeavouring to capture the essence of his being. These paintings convey a sense of both detachment and sensuality through the use of muted colours and opalescent tones. An attention to surface texture and architectural composition gives these invariably three-quarter renderings a feel reminiscent of the Flemish masters. Wallace's essay situates Trottier within the development of key artists' organizations from the 1960s on. Gerald Trottier has designed stamps for Canada Post, covers for Canadian Art magazine, and many public murals. $20 |
