Considéré comme l’un des plus importants peintres de sa génération, Jacques Hurtubise a contribué de façon exceptionnelle au développement de l’art abstrait au Québec à partir des années 1960 et jusqu’à son décès en 2014.

L’œuvre Takota appartient à sa période de création de la fin des années 1970, qui est caractérisée par de forts contrastes chromatiques et par l’utilisation de motifs linéaires. Entre impulsion créatrice et contrôle minutieux de la forme, cette œuvre étonnante est basée sur la brutalité du contraste entre le noir et le blanc.

Considered one of the most important painters of his generation, Jacques Hurtubise has made an exceptional contribution to the development of abstract art in Quebec from the 1960s, until his passing in 2014.

Takota belongs to Hurtubise’s creative period of the late 1970s, which was characterized by strong chromatic contrasts and the use of linear patterns. Between impulsive creativity and meticulous control of shape, this astonishing work is based on the brutal contrast of black and white.
