Vision
Abstract art in Canada owes its existence to some important painters who, with Prisme d’Yeux (1942), Refus global (1948) and Le Manifeste des Plasticiens (1955) punctuated its birth and ensured its roots, painters whose creation is so rich that it must be highlighted both nationally and internationally.
Thanks to their innovative work, these creators paved the way for a large number of painters of subsequent generations who were able, and who can still today, to take their turn and pursue, in the same stride, a journey which their own.
Jean-Paul Jérôme (1928 – 2004), co-founder and signatory of the Plasticiens Manifesto, is one of these great inspirers.
Mission
Jean-Paul Jérôme has mandated administrators of his work to ensure that, over the years, his work is disseminated nationally and internationally and thus preserve and increase the impact it has known to date, all with amateurs as well as those for whom it is an object of reflection and inspiration.
