DESCRIPTION DE L'OEUVRE

Commande de la Banque de Montréal, cette murale a initialement été proposée par les responsables du réseau de transport collectif de la métropole québécoise. À l’origine, elle devait esthétiser un évent d’aération. Son créateur, Claude Théberge, a d’abord réalisé un moule en mousse de polystyrène, puis l’œuvre elle-même, véritable monolithe de béton. On se souviendra que l’artiste a fondé – en 1960, à Montréal – un atelier consacré à l’intégration de l’art et de l’architecture; ce studio a poursuivi ses activités jusqu’en 1968. À l’instar de bon nombre de ses sculptures publiques fabriquées à la même époque, celle-ci était donc conçue pour se fondre dans son environnement urbain.

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

First proposed by the Montreal transit system, then commissioned by the Bank of Montreal, the mural (intended to beautify an air vent) was sculpted first as a Styrofoam mould and then cast as a single piece of concrete. In Montreal, between 1960 and 1968 Claude Théberge founded an art and architecture-integrated workshop. This work, like many of his public sculptures from the time is intended to unify art with the surrounding urban environment.
