Présentation Anglais André Richard was born in Danville, a small village in the Eastern Townships surrounded by rolling hills and green, flowering valleys. The beauty of the surrounding nature contributed to the development of his artistic sensibilities and taste for peaceful landscapes. Interested in art, he obtained two certificates in art history from the University of Montreal. His travels took him to the major European museums: the Louvre and the Impressionists Museum in Paris, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and the Prado in Madrid as well as several regional museums. He has to his credit more than fifty group exhibitions and he participates regularly in symposiums. He has had three solo exhibitions in Magog. His solo exhibition at the Café Epicure in Saint-Lambert was a resounding success. During his exhibitions, he paints regularly in public sur le motif (in life). It was in this way that he painted at Magog's Place des artistes at each of his exhibitions. He was also invited to paint on Saint-Denis Street in Montreal (Quebec) during the Just for Laughs comedy festival. As a painter of nature, he reproduces the effects of light with contrasts of shadow and light, hot and cold, as well as the play of complementary colours. He belongs to numerous associations, including the Committee for Cultural Activity (Comité d'action culturelle) in Magog-Orford, the Artists and Painters Circle (Cercle des artistes-peintres) of Saint-Hubert and the AAPARS (Association des Artistes peintres-affiliés de la Rive-Sud) in Saint-Bruno. More than 150 of his works can be found in private collections in many Quebec towns as well as in Ontario, the United States (Florida, California, Massachusetts), France and Greece.
