“Charles Gagnon: 4 Films” unites the 1960s experimental films of the renowned multidisciplinary artist Cahrles Gagnon and highlights the intersections between film, painting, photography and music in his artistic ?uvre. “4 Films” resonates with the countercultural consciousness ot the late 1960s and is exemplary of avant-garde experimental collage and structuralist filmmaking aesthetics. Accompanied by an illustrated colour catalogue of film description, essays, interviews and reproductions, this collection illuminates Gagnon’s artistic career, and Québec and Canada’s art scene of the 1960s. It is of vital interest to artists, curators, contemporary art and film studies specialists, art historians, archivists, librarians and anyone interested in the vibrant crossovers between art and experimental film.
