Comments: Charles Binamé painted this portrait of Pierre Gauvreau three years before the latter's death. For a brief presentation on Binamé in this series, see: => Gauvreau #11.
Humanities Questions: (A) As the last page in this eighteen-part presentation of Gauvreau, analyze this painting as the expression of one of Gauvreau's humanist friends who looked at Gauvreau and tried to communicate his (i.e., Binamé's) sense of the man and the artist. (B) In what way do you feel (or not feel) that this painting presents a summary, imperfect though it necessarily is, of the life and works of Pierre Gauvreau?
