Norman Leibovitch <<ARTIST PAGE

A contemporary and acquaintance of renowned Montreal artists such as Louis Muhlstock, Moe Reinblatt and Sam Borenstein, Norman Leibovitch's work has been shown across North America in major cities such as Montreal, Toronto and New York.

Leibovitch's gestural brush strokes, use of texture and striking choice of colour fill his paintings with a vitality that is strikingly modern for a Canadian painter trained in the 1930's. During the 1940's, while many Quebec artists looked to Europe, particularly the trends in Paris, for inspiration, Leibovitch traveled to Mexico and Israel to broaden his artistic experience. His use of form, line and colour has evolved over the decades, and although at times his figurative work leans more toward the abstract he has never completely departed from the figurative. Leibovitch allows his subjects to retain the focus of his works.
