Prostate Cancer a Cause Close to Home for Claude A. Simard
by Claude A. Simard, R.C.A.
November, 2011
Last weekend, Galerie Walter Klinkhoff opened a show of my paintings in Montreal. It was met with incredible enthusiasm in a time of world financial hardship and insecurity. We could hardly believe the reaction as the show was practically sold out by midday. I am proud of the great success and, at the same time, I feel a need to give back, to contribute outside of the studio where I have the great privilege to spend everyday of my life. After the vernissage my wife and I joined our two daughters, their husbands and the little ones who are our pride and joy for a family dinner. I was talking about this giving back idea when my son in law, Dominic Laurin, suggested I form a group to solicit funds for the fight against prostate cancer. I was immediately sold. My wife was a little less enthusiastic about me growing a moustache but she joined in and is helping make things happen now. New members are joining my team every hour and we are already getting generous contributions from our friends. I have decided to give a painting which will be sold by Galerie Walter Klinkhoff and all proceeds from this sale will go to the Foundation. This is an exciting project for me knowing it will save lives, even in the short term. My father had prostate cancer. I’m sure he shares our pride in what we are doing from somewhere up there.

This sketch by James Wilson Morrice, a real jewel, however is not directly related to any known drawing or canvas. Although hard to date exactly, it is very typical of the kind of “Etudes” that he showed in Paris after 1905. Since it is signed there is a strong [...]

In Paris, Borduas was living in his studio where he had a mattress on the floor in the corner. He painted at that time enormous black and white abstractions and occasionally some of more manageable dimensions, which I bought. Obviously hard up for money, Borduas never tried to sell and did not [...]

This painting, “Adèle”, represents a unique opportunity to complement a collection of Jean Philippe Dallaire works of art with not only an early Dallaire but an extraordinary early Dallaire and one with significant aesthetic appeal. I first visited Adèle 27 years ago at her home, meeting a lady who by [...]
