His naive art in modern Quebec of the 1960s clashes with some, but others see his art as a great heritage potential. Moreover, the artist tells the regional past in his works. The enthusiasm generated by Arthur Villeneuve will lead the National Film Board of Canada to make a short film on his life. He will also receive good words from François-Marc Gagnon and art critic Léo Rossandler.
