Comments: Here is a cadavre exquis created by three people with a separation of 14 years between what was created independently by one or two or the artists and by what was created later by the other(s). Charles Binamé (b. 1949) was born in French-speaking Belgium but moved to Montreal when he was young. He is a Quebec TV and film director. He began working in 1971 as an assistant director with the National Film Board of Canada, and worked with Gauvreau in the middle 1990s when the latter was the script writer, but the three met as early at 1982. Binamé has shown his films at Cannes and at the Sundance Film Festival. Binamé contributed two beautiful essays to the 2014 art book above, one a tribute to Pierre and the other a tribute to Janine. Here's a photo taken at Abercorn, Québec, by Françoise Binamé of the three artists in 1982

Humanities Questions: (A) Describe what you may perceive as the three separate parts remembering that each artist creates their own separate work without knowing what the other(s) are creating or will create. The separate creative works are then fused to make one whole canvas; (B) State whether or not you think the finished work is artistically successful and why.
