Title
Edmund Alleyn : biographie
Abstract
Born in Quebec City to a family of English and Irish heritage, Edmund Alleyn (1931-2004) attended the École des beaux-arts in his hometown. In 1955, he won the Grand Prix aux concours artistiques de la Province de Québec and a grant from the Royal Society of Canada. Being born into an Anglophone household in Quebec City cast him as an outsider in Francophone Quebec's Montreal-dominated artistic milieu, a status compounded by a move to Paris in 1955, where he remained for fifteen years. From shortly after his return until his retirement in the early 1990s, he held a teaching position at the University of Ottawa, to which he commuted, maintaining his studio in Montreal. Alleyn is considered one of the most important Quebec artists of the post-automatist period.
