Aux dépens de Louis-Pierre Bougie

Louis-Pierre Bougie (16 August 1946 – 10 January 2021) [ 1 ] was a Canadian painter and printmaker specialized in engraving and etching. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] He developed his knowledge of intaglio techniques at Atelier Lacourière-Frélaut in Paris, where he worked for fifteen years, and through travel and study in France, Portugal, Poland, Ireland, Finland, and New York. His work is regularly shown in Canadian, American, and European galleries, and is represented in major public and private collections, notably in Québec and New York. Bougie was considered Québec's foremost engraver for the depth and consistency of his work. He died from pneumonia. [ 1 ]
