Introduction (Individual article, digital version)
Marie-Alice Dumont. In Conversation with Raymonde April
— Hélène Samson
An unlikely meeting between two artists—Marie-Alice Dumont, a historic figure in Québec photography as one of the first women in the profession, and Raymonde April, from the contemporary scene—this exhibition at the Musée du Bas-Saint-Laurent brought their images together through a fluid installation. From their aesthetic disparity (the singular gaze of one, the poetic polysemy of the other) emerged an empathy toward the subjects and a connection with everyday life, materiality, and the rural landscape, noted Hélène Samson.
