L'Actuelle, a non-figurative art gallery 1955-1957 presents a little-known adventure in the world of Quebec visual arts, that of the L'Actuelle gallery, founded by the painter Guido Molinari and the journalist Fernande Saint-Martin, and devoted to the almost exclusive presentation of non-figurative, lyrical or geometric art. This gallery will be a meteor in Montreal life: around thirty exhibitions in 24 months, very long opening hours and journalistic coverage of exceptional magnitude, around sixty artists exhibited, including Marcel Barbeau, Paul-Émile Borduas, Serge Charchoune, Ulysse Comtois, Pierre Gauvreau, Fernand Leduc, Rita Letendre, Jean McEwen, Guido Molinari, Jean-Paul Mousseau, Claude Tousignant, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Robert Millet...

This bilingual monograph (French-English) takes stock of this unique episode and provides precise, often unpublished, information on each of the exhibitions, with historical texts, numerous photographs of works or openings of L'Actuelle, as well as only reproductions. L'Actuelle includes a foreword by art critic Gilles Daigneault, an essay by art historian Lise Lamarche, a detailed chronology, biographical notes on all the artists exhibited at L'Actuelle and a bibliography.

This work was published in co-publishing with the Molinari Foundation.
