The artist's originality does not rest on his choice of subject, but on his individual style used to depict the animals. Even though the animal folk artists sometimes live regions apart from each other, they all share in common that they live on lands where there is an abundance of wildlife. They have a deep reverence for nature and the surrounding fauna. At some point in their lives, all of them have been lumberjacks, hunters, trappers or fishermen and they have all lived on farms or bred livestock.

Wilfrid Richard used to say: Those that do, tend to offer their own personal vision of the world around them. Fairy tales and legends are full of fantastic creatures which, like the werewolves, once filled the imaginations of Quebeckers. It is not surprising that artists find inspiration in folklore. All this has a symbolic value; this world filled with real or fantastic animals speaks of a way of life, of a culture.

It is, in some way, a representation of the country, a way to make it one's own. NOTE 22 The selection of works and the theme of the exhibit left no doubt as to what message was to be conveyed; the exhibit was to highlight folk art's distinctive and original nature.

In the United States, folk art has long been considered to be representative of North American culture. Thus it is no coincidence that many works from Quebec have ended up in American museums.

3 reasons to choose Ferme de l'Art Rural et Populaire

Quebec and American folk art share similar characteristics, which explains the interest of collectors and museologists. The similarities include characteristics such as: Elsewhere in the world, mostly Europe, works considered as folk art are usually common objects reflecting people's everyday life such as furniture, tools, instruments and utensils.

There, animal motifs only serve decorative purposes NOTE The depiction of animals is rarely used to assert a people's identity in a symbolic form. But it is a distinctive trait of North American folk art. It is a simple art that serves no further utilitarian purpose. As for its symbolic nature, it is not the result of a conscious approach, but of a visceral need for the artist to express his world view. Long considered unfit for museums, except on the basis of its utilitarian value, folk art's place in the world of art has now finally been acknowledged.

Various activities that have taken place over the last three decades have at endeavoured to unveil to the people of Quebec, that the wealth of their too long forgotten heritage is endless. The s were a turning point that saw an increase in folk art inventory, publications, seminars and conferences in an effort to appropriate this legacy. These were the firsts in a series of events around the province that would help to make the region's artists known.

This new interest spread to the regions and enabled folk artists to be included in the heritage conservation and development programs of the province's various municipalities. The presence of animal folk art in museums in Quebec, Canada and abroad is proof of the art's rightful place in art museums. It is an art genre that testifies to the enduring vitality of a culture with deep roots that enabled distinct values to flourish in every region of the province. Despite the social changes that have taken place in recent years, the folk art of animal sculpture is still very much alive.

Now aware of the interest people have in their art, the majority of these artists make sure to sign their work. Wilfrid Richard never signed his work except in rare cases when, he would sign it for collectors who had a special relationship with him. This expression is widely used by folk artists. In using it, they wish to convey they are not taking themselves too seriously. After having stayed in Quebec City he then found a job at a cabinet workshop in Pont-Rouge.

Wilfrid Richard used to say that, in coming across Louis Jobin, his father had made a decisive encounter. Experts, art historians, curators and collectors who gave themselves the right to judge what was or was not art. With the exception of Americans who would roam Quebec's countryside to improve their collections with "treasures" that the locals considered to be "worth nothing.

Three of his children, Marie-Jeanne, Fernand and Maurice and two grandsons have been sculptors.

Artist, collector, speaker, author of many articles on art and artisans, he influenced a generation of artisans throughout the province. Born in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, anthropologist, ethnologist and folklorist, he made his career at the National Museum of Man in Ottawa, where he produced an extensive collection of written, visual and audio archives, which he used widely in his numerous publications.

Funds came from a budget allocated as a part of the program established by the Quebec Loi sur les biens culturels [Cultural Assets Act]. The horse is a recurrent subject in animal folk art. It has inspired many artists.

It was traditionally carved for children as a toy. The wooden duck is a world in itself. Although it is a piece from the folk art, it is mostly carved for a specific goal: Natives would have taught the technique to the first settlers. It was first made using various materials: During the 19 th century, the decoys were sculpted by artisans who specialised making them.

Although their work was rarely signed, the ducks still bore the artisans signature style. During the opening of this exhibit, the museum launched one of its first publications: L'enclume et le couteau.
