Borduas in Gaspésie — 1938
April 19, 2025 to June 14, 2025

We present a suite of 10 photographs taken by Paul-Émile Borduas in 1938 in the Gaspesia and Bas-Saint-Laurent regions, published in Montreal in 2025 by Éditions Mai 50.

In 1938, painter Paul-Émile Borduas travelled to the Gaspesia and Bas-Saint-Laurent regions as part of a provincial survey of domestic arts, crafts and tourism. He brought back over 900 negatives.

The publication of the Borduas en Gaspésie portfolio is intended to provide financial support for the film project by Carlos Ferrand and Serge Clément, entitled "Borduas - photographie 1938".
