Timeline

1916

Fernand Leduc (4 July 1916 – 28 January 2014) was a Canadian abstract expressionist painter and a major figure in the Quebec contemporary art scene in the 1940s and 1950s.

During his 50-year career, Leduc participated in many expositions in Canada and France.

He was born in Viauville, Montreal, Quebec.

1938

In 1938 Leduc started his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal.

1943

After graduating in 1943, he left the church and shortly after became a member of the Contemporary Arts Society.

Leduc played a major role in forming the group known as the Les Automatistes, co-signing the Refus Global manifesto, but not contributing to the illustrated book.

1946

He moved to Paris with his wife Thérèse Renaud in 1946 and slowly distanced himself from the group.

There he participated in an exhibition, called Automatisme, at the Galerie du Luxembourg that examined the group.

1948

By late 1948, he had distanced himself from them and had joined the Plasticiens.

In Paris, Leduc developed a friendship with the painter Jean Bazaine, who was at the time producing works which could be described as abstracted landscapes.

1950

This contact was an influence on Leduc's works of the early 1950s.

1953

He returned from Paris in 1953.

With Paul-Émile Borduas, the theoretician of the Automatist group, he was the one who maintained the closest ties with the French surrealists.

1955

Leduc moved to a type of hard-edge abstraction in 1955.

1956

He founded the Non-Figurative Artists' Association of Montréal (Association des artistes non-figuratifs de Montréal) in 1956.

He experimented at that time with various forms of spontaneous and gestural nonfigurative painting, his works gradually becoming more involved with interactions and contrast of colours.

1959

Leduc returned to France in 1959 and stayed there until 1970, when he came back for two years to teach in Montréal.

1970

In 1970, the Centre culturel canadien in Paris in combination with the National Gallery of Canada held a travelling exhibition of 16 paintings done over a three-year period in which he used biomorphic abstraction.

1977

In 1977 he received the Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award.

1979

In 1979 he was awarded the Louis-Philippe Hébert Prize and the Paul-Émile Borduas Prize in 1988.

2014

Leduc died of cancer in Montreal on January 28, 2014.
