Les Automatistes – Biography
When painter Paul-Émile Borduas was introduced to the writings of the French poet André Breton, he was inspired by the poet's écriture automatique. Borduas then transferred these ideas onto the painting surface, using spontaneity and shunning the use of preconception. Les Automatiste, as a movement, was created when Borduas showed a number of these spontaneous paintings, done in gouache, at the Ermitage Théâtre in Montréal.
Running from April 25th to May 2nd 1942, the exhibition gained Borduas a few followers, most notably: Marcel Barbeau, Jean Paul Riopelle and Roger Fauteux, who were all his students at the École du Meuble. Other followers included: Pierre Gauvreau and Fernand Leduc from Montreal’s École des beaux-arts and Jean-Paul Mousseau from the Collège Notre-Dame. The new group met in Borduas's studio, there they discussed a wide variety of issues disapproved of by the church, such as Marxism, surrealism and psychoanalysis.
