Inspiration from Canadian architectural history
Raymond Biesinger, the visionary artist behind this remarkable series of illustrations, drew his inspiration from the depths of Canada's architectural history. What began as just a humble attempt to capture the soul of these cities quickly evolved into a collection of ten pieces, each capturing with remarkable precision a significant moment in Canadian urban history.
Montreal and Edmonton stand as symbols of pride for the artist
At the heart of this series are modern maps, representations that reveal the unique urban planning of each city. Among them, Montreal and Edmonton stand as symbols of pride, the first for having welcomed the artist and the second for having been the cradle of his talent. But the series goes beyond these two iconic cities, it also embraces eight other Canadian cities, each with its own story to share, its own charm to reveal.
Historic moment of the opening of the Universal Exhibition
In this collection, Montreal is in the spotlight. Dated April 27, 1967, the illustration captures a historic moment when the Governor General of Canada, Roland Michener, proclaimed the opening of the Universal Exhibition. It is a moment frozen in time, immortalized with remarkable detail by the artist, a vibrant testimony to the importance of this event for the city and for the country as a whole.
Reflecting the richness and diversity of the Canadian urban landscape
Each print in this remarkable series is much more than just an artistic representation. It is a deep immersion in the history and essence of each city represented. Every detail, every building, every landmark is carefully chosen to reflect the richness and diversity of the Canadian urban landscape.
