Jacques Fugère
was born on October 2, 1930 in Thetford-Mines, Quebec.
Already, in his early childhood, his skill in drawing
drew him the praise of his family and his teachers.
Artist at heart and showing little interest in studies,
he left college at eighteen to work in a major
photography studio.
For twenty-five years, he will
successfully exploit his artistic qualities. Many awards
adorn the walls of his studio, witnesses to the enviable
reputation he has built in this area.
In 1967, the
association of Quebec photographers awarded him the
title of "Photographer of the Year" crowning once again
his career. Seeing the past years, he realizes gradually
that photography does not meet his needs, his search for
freedom in the image.
He decided to devote himself
entirely to his first passion painting that he had never
abandoned. Self-taught in this art, he will have the
chance to rub shoulders with the famous painter Albert
Rousseau.
This great master for whom he had a deep
admiration, knew how to give him the taste of the daily
drawing, and while respecting his identity, deepened in
him the composition and the harmony of the colors.
Fugère is placed under a classic art of great honesty.

Regarding his paintings
Observer of extreme sensitivity, he paints the beauty of
the simple things that surround us and transmits through
his works a sense of beauty in front of nature, making
us vibrate through the play of shapes and colors. The
light and the atmosphere of its landscapes make us
relive the season and even the hour of their
achievements.
