1866 -1934 · Montreal, Paris, Quebec and Canadian landscape
Colorful snow, ice-covered rivers and northern light made Maurice Cullen an essential pioneer of Canadian impressionism.
Maurice Galbraith Cullen was born in Saint-Jean of Newfoundland in 1866, grew up in Montreal and died in Chambly in 1934. He began by studying sculpture before leaving for Paris in 1889, where he attended the Académie Julian, the Académie Colarossi and the School of Fine Arts. The discovery of impressionism definitively redirected his career towards painting. Returning to Canada in 1895, Cullen adapted the divided touch and luminous color to the particular conditions of Quebec: snow, ice, twilights, rivers and winter streets became his major subjects.

Parks Canada emphasizes that his international reputation was based above all on his impressionist interpretation of winter canadian. He taught at the Art Association of Montreal and influenced a younger generation, including several future members of the Group of Seven. Cullen also traveled to Brittany and Europe.

His portraits remain rarer than his landscapes, but demonstrate the same taste for a direct touch. Cullen does not simply copy Monet: he translates impressionist light into a territory where the cold, the snow and the expanse impose a new palette and rhythm. The "Maurice Cullen" selection notably compares Portrait of a Man and Landscape. His reading favors composition.
Maurice Cullen discovers in the snow not white, but a multitude of blues, pinks and purples where the Canadian landscape becomes light.
