Rita Letendre: Beginnings in Abstraction
Linda Jansma

The gallery's founding mandate has been to examine and contextualize the beginnings of non-representational art in work of groups like Painters Eleven and their contemporaries. Rita Letendre (born 1928) was one of the more prominent members of the Quebec-based group of abstract painters known as the Automatistes. This beautifully illustrated publication focuses on work produced by Letendre between 1954 and 1966 and rehabilitates her status as a key actor in the development of Canadian modernist art.
