Carleton Place, fin de journée

With Bruno Côté, the function of the work of art is certainly to educate our gaze, to teach us to see, to feel. The artist does not give his landscape the greatest possible resemblance to his model, he rather seems to offer us an interpretation, a "just exaggeration" we could say, of reality based on the emotions aroused by a majestic nature of which he lets himself be imbued. He is recognized as one of the best landscape painters of his generation.
