The old bridge, sainte-marguerite, oil on canvas, 46 x 61. 2 cm. Pierre lassonde collection. “in le vieux pont, sainte-marguerite, the human presence is much more discreet than in coupeurs de glace, longueuil. There are no characters there, but rather signs that the nature represented is not completely virgin, that it has been domesticated: a fence in the first and a bridge in the second. In this way, this painting produced at the end of cullen's career differs from most of the works he created at this time. Indeed, cullen then almost systematically eliminates all traces of man to devote himself more to the so-called “natural” landscape. » – sarah mainguy, holder of a master’s degree in art history from uqam. Date: circa 1929.
