MARCELLE FERRON, R.C.A.SANS TITREoil on canvas, mounted to boardsigned and dated ‘60; also signed and dated ‘61 on the reverse 9.5 ins x 8 ins; 24.1 cms x 20.3 cms Provenance:Private Collection, MontrealNote:Marcelle Ferron resided in France from 1953-1966 and it was during this period that this little composition was produced. Ferron, who had studied under Borduas, had developed a close professional relationship with him. Certainly, a sympathy between these artists can be detected in this lot which has in common with the senior artist's work both palette and technique. Perhaps one could even consider this lot an hommage; Borduas died on February 22, 1960, at the age of fifty-four.At this time, Ferron's reputation was well-established and she was exhibiting regularly in Europe, and in Canada at Galerie Denyse Delrue.Estimate: $10,000–15,000
