| dc.description | Detail, woman serving food in a bowl to figure with hair in Colonial style; Robert LaPalme (born Joseph-Anatole-Thomas-Robert Gaboriau) was one of the most famous Quebec caricaturists; his work appeared in nearly every important French newspaper in Canada, and he illustrated numerous books. He was also artistic director for the metro (subway), where he set a policy that favored representational art telling the history of Montreal, one of the first metro networks to include public art throughout the network. The murals for the Botanical Garden Restaurant follow that idea; here, a depiction of French colonists in costumes of various periods enjoying traditional foods. The restaurant was renovated in 2013, but preserved the layout and used colors found in the mural. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/29/2014) | en_US |
