Newspaper ECHOS de Montreal - September 1, 2012
Master Charles Carson, Quebec artist, is a dominant figure in the world of visual arts. He is marking two important milestones this year: 35 years as an artist and the 20th anniversary of the consecration of "Carsonism" as a movement of which is the innovator.
In 1992, Louis Bruens, historian, author and art expert, said the following about Carson's work: « The painting I am discussing here, that one might simply classify as contemporary, doesn't fall into any obvious category such as Impressionism, Expressionism or Surrealism. For that matter, it doesn't fall into any other definition of an "ism" either. Instead, I find that it comes under another order of values altogether different from the styles that one is used to finding on the art market. In my opinion, it is a distinctly unique painting, different from anything being done at the moment and since a very long time...»
Founder of the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal
Guy Robert (1933-2000), historian, author, editor and founder of the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art, published a distinguished analysis of Carson's work in 1992.
[...] No century has experienced as many agitations and movements as ours, in every facet of life, be it social, political, economic, scientific or esthetic. Why then add a new "ism" to an already intolerable cacophony... Carsonism, by virtue of its unique pictorial language, is identified to but one single person. Alas, or rather fortunately, none of the well known "isms" of today's muddled contemporary art world are appropriate, and I must resign myself (with great satisfaction I might add) to naming this movement: Carsonisme! »
Mr. Robert noted in particular the originality of the work in terms of the colors and the rhythm that the artist infused in his work. In addition to his responsibilities as the first Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Mr. Robert was also a member of the Federal Commission for Cultural Policy from 1979-82 and the Canadian Commission on cultural property and he received the Grand Prix du Livre in Montreal in 1976. He earned a master's degree in literature from l'Université de Montréal, a PhD in esthetics as well as philosophy and art history from l'Université de Paris. Author of dozens of books on art, he is particularly noted for his publications on Borduas, Dallaire, Fortin, Dumouchel, Lemieux, Bonet, Pellan, Riopelle and Carson. The views he expressed on Carsonism were those of an expert and reputed art historian:
He continued: « Carson gives his paintings a depth that makes the best demonstrations of perspective pale in comparison, all the more fascinating considering that the painting becomes a place for meeting and exploration, leading to new associations, discoveries, interpretations, somewhat different for each person as well as for the same person from one day to the next. »
Robert Bernier, historian, writer, art expert, and chief editor of the prestigious magazine Parcours L'informateur des arts, dedicated 16 pages of analysis to Carson's work. His study provides useful insights to a reader seeking to interpret a Carson painting: « [TRANSLATION] This approach [referring to Carsonisme] is not easy to describe but, generally speaking, it is composed of an infinite succession of slightly oblique strokes that, on the surface, invigorate our perception of theme and subject, which come to life on the canvas in subtle transparencies, giving an impression of s: « [...] It is a new form of painting, a sublime pictorial language in which one discovers an in-between world in constant and perpetual motion. »depth and color. It is like an incessant flow of particles [...] that sweeps the painting with a fascinating, dare I say disconcerting, regularity. »
