Untitled (HL Montreal)
The artist, Marc-Aurèle Fortin, is fascinated by the innovation and urban changes he witnesses. In the 1920s, Fortin resided at Maison Saint-Joseph located very close to Viger Station. From his room, Fortin sees the upheavals that the construction of the Jacques-Cartier Bridge is causing in the city. Until the bridge was completed, Fortin went to the port and painted and drew the activity of the numerous ships and tugboats there.
