About Clarence Alphonse Gagnon

Clarence Alphonse Gagnon (1881–1942) was a French Canadian painter, draughtsman, engraver, and illustrator born in Montreal. He is best known for his luminous landscape paintings depicting the Laurentian mountains and the Charlevoix region of eastern Quebec, capturing rural winter scenes, village life, and the distinctive terrain of rural French Canada. Trained as both a painter and an etcher, Gagnon worked across oil on canvas, works on paper, and print media. His landscapes are recognized for their vivid color, atmospheric clarity, and strong connection to the Quebec countryside. Gagnon also produced illustrations for literary works, expanding his practice beyond easel painting. He is documented in the Getty Union List of Artist Names, the VIAF authority file, the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History, and the Library of Congress name authority file, confirming his standing as a significant figure in early twentieth-century Canadian art.
