Collectionner le Québec de tradition française à la manière de Nettoe Covey Sharpe
|
| Abstract |
Nettie Covey Sharpe (1907-2002) was born in Saint-Augustin-de-Woburn, near Lac Mégantic. At the age of 27, she began collecting Quebec antiques or folk art, at a time when few collectors were interested in the treasures of the Quebec countryside. With the help of ethnologists Marius Barbeau and Jean Palardy, Covey Sharpe developed one of the finest collections of Quebec folk art. Upon her death, Covey Sharpe bequeathed her collection of some three-thousand artefacts to the Canadian Museum of History. She also gifted her St. Lambert (a suburb of Montreal) house, built in 1775, to the museum on her death.
