| Title |
The Work of Louis Muhlstock: A Compassionate Despiction of Depression-Era Subjects
|
| Abstract |
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, most Quebec painters portrayed the idealized rural lifestyle promoted by the Catholic Church. One exception to this nationalistic focus on the genre of (rural) landscape was Montreal artist Louis Muhlstock (1904-2001). The author points out that Muhlstock realistically portrayed disenfranchised urban individuals and their surroundings in Depression Era Montreal, and did so in such a way as to represent them with a sense of compassion and respect.
