Plasticien
The Plasticien movement started in the mid 1950’s. It grew slowly, but consistently over the next few years until it had made itself known all around Montreal. It came after the time of the “
Quiet Revolution”, which saw the collapse of the political system that the Duplessis regime had maintained, and the gradual loosening of the Church’s control on thought and education1 . That loosening of the Church’s control and the newly-renewed freedom of thought led a clear pathway for the automotive movement, which soon took a strong foothold in Montreal. The
Automatist style was all about emotion, action and the spontaneity of art. Paint was applied quickly and thickly on an infinite background. Objects were often left floating all over the canvas. The artwork expressed freedom through personal liberty; Automatist kind of art had potential existing in every individual2 . An artist named Paul-Émile Borduas, who had picked it up in New York and places around Europe, introduced the style to Montreal. The Automatist movement was generally accepted for many years until late in the 1950’s when people began to question the meaning of it. There was a lot of discussion concerning the language of painting3 . People opposing to the Automatist style felt that art shouldn’t be as carefree and simple as they made it look. They disagreed with idea that it was so easy anybody could do it and felt that it went so against other art styles that it was one of its own; that it was incomparable to the rest4 .
