The two Montreal artists crossed paths with Matisse in France and North Africa during the early twentieth century. These encounters proved to be decisive not only for the development of their respective pictorial expressions, but also for the entry of Canadian painting into modernity. The exhibit featured portraits, nudes, Canadian landscapes, and scenes from Venice, North Africa, Northern France, the West Indies, and the Caribbean, which all share an unmistakable quest for light and an exceptional mastery of colours. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The two Canadian painters thrived in the creative ferment of the French capital, light years away from the conservative Canadian arts scene. They kept company with Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and found in him qualities of freedom and authenticity they were seeking. Lyman studied with the French master at the Acad\u00e9mie Matisse in 1910, while Morrice and Matisse, of the same generation, became friends during stays in Tangier in 1912 and 1913.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"\" data-sheets-userformat=\"\">Organized and circulated by the Mus\u00e9e national des beaux-arts du Qu\u00e9bec, a government corporation funded by the Ministry of Culture and Communications of Qu\u00e9bec.
