Comeau, André, Artistes
plasticiens : Canada (Régime français et Conquête)
Bas-Canada et le Québec, Montréal:
Les Éditions Bellarmin, 1983, 261 p., ill., 26 cm, ISBN:
2890075133, ISBN: 978-2890075139;
At the time of the publication of his book André Comeau is a
"Professeur d'histoire de l'art Collège [Cégep] du
Vieux Montréal",
at p. 8. In English, it simply means that André Comeau
is an art professor at the Cégep
du Vieux Montreal, also known as the Collège du Vieux
Montréal.
It is basically a dictionary on artists.
At page 154, Comeau gives us in French, the following
information about Daniel Lareau:
"LAREAU, Daniel (Montréal, 1910). --
Peintre; diplôme de l'École normale de
Montréal; diplôme de l'EBAM avec Maillard,
St-Charles et Laliberté (1937-1942), où il
enseigne; illustrateur; enseigne au Collège
de Saint-Laurent (jusqu'en 1978)."
Here is my translation of Comeau's text:
"LAREAU, Daniel (Montreal, 1910). --
Painter; diploma from l'École normale de
Montréal; diploma from l'EBAM with Maillard,
St-Charles and Laliberté (1937-1942) where
he teaches; illustrator; teaches at the Collège de
Saint-Laurent (until 1978)"
Here are some comments on Comeau's text:
- Comeau is right to write that Daniel Lareau was born in 1910, but
possibly wrong when he says that it was in Montreal (I
will later in my work bring contrary evidence).
- Comeau says that Daniel Lareau has a diploma from "l'École
normale de Montréal", I believe that he is referring to
l'École normale Jacques-Cartier.
- Comeau says that Daniel Lareau has a diploma from "L'EBAM" which
is "l'École des beaux-arts de Montréal", and is
translated as The School of Fine Arts in Montreal,

- Maillard, St-Charles and Laliberté are well known Canadian artists
and
all three taught at the The School of Fine Arts in Montreal.
- Charles Maillard, 1887-1973, painter and
professor at The School of Fine Arts in Montreal,
1923-1945 and its director from 1925-1945;
- Joseph St-Charles, 1868-1956, painter, professor at the School
of Fine Arts in
Montreal 1925-1943;
- Alfred
Laliberté, 1878-1953, painter and sculptor who taught at
The School of Fine Arts in Montreal, 1923-1953
