The Musée des beaux-arts de Mont-Saint-Hilaire will present the compelling exhibition Jean-Paul Jérôme: The Timeless Plasticien from November 14, 2026, to January 17, 2027. This exhibition invites visitors into the world of an artist whose work transcends eras and artistic styles while retaining a remarkable sense of modernity.
The exhibition brings together the largest collection of emblematic works from Jérôme’s artistic career, spanning from his earliest drawings in 1944 to his final works in 2004. Together, these works reveal the evolution of his aesthetic vision and his enduring commitment to experimentation.
The project is being developed under the direction of Geneviève Létourneau, Executive Director of the Musée des beaux-arts de Mont-Saint-Hilaire.
Curated by Robert Jérôme, President of Jérôme Art International, the exhibition commemorates the 20th anniversary of Jean-Paul Jérôme’s passing on August 14, 2004, as well as the 70th anniversary of the launch of the Manifeste des Plasticiens (Plasticians’ Manifesto) on February 10, 1955.
The exhibition pays tribute to a leading figure who helped shape the artistic landscape of his time, yet whose work remains remarkably relevant today. By revisiting some of his most significant creations, visitors will have the opportunity to rediscover a timeless artist whose influence continues to resonate throughout the contemporary art world.
This landmark event offers an invitation to revisit the history of Quebec art through the eyes of a visionary artist whose work continues to transcend temporal and geographical boundaries. It is an essential exhibition for art enthusiasts and all those eager to discover new perspectives on the province’s artistic heritage.
This travelling exhibition was first presented at the Maison de la culture Claude-Léveillée in Montréal from November 20, 2024, to February 23, 2025. Additional exhibition dates and venues will be announced in due course.
