"Our autumns are the most colorful in the world" - Marc-Aurèle Fortin.
He sees nature as he paints it.
Marc-Aurèle Fortin has always painted nature with passion and ardor. Jacques de Rousan, author of the book Marc-Aurèle Fortin, Signatures collection, published by Marcel Broquet, describes Fortin's works from the 1920s and 1930s as follows: yellows, reds and browns dominate, especially greens which, from soft green to dark green, shine in the ambient light. "
This quote will apply throughout the painter's artistic career. Here, in the work titled Automne Rivière Richelieu, Fortin frames the houses and the bridge in pale tones in an immense and flamboyant environment.
