Founded in Montréal in 1918, « Le Nigog » was a monthly multidisciplinary journal often cited as one of the preeminent sources of the emergence of modernism in Québec. Over the course of a dozen issues published that year, the journal’s contributors brought a sense of renewal to Québec art. Through a selection of some thirty works, this exhibition presents the journal’s principal themes and the people behind it – Fernand Préfontaine, Robert Laroque de Roquebrune and Léo-Pol Morin – and illustrates their aesthetic program and the range of their ideas.
