- Notice biographique
- Despite a loss of hearing at age twenty-one, Madeleine Laliberte devoted herself to numerous years of art studies, initially in 1932 at the Ecole des Beaux Arts du Quebec. In 1937 she attended the Atelier Gromaire as well as the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris, and In 1940 she studied at the School of Fine Arts of Mexico. In New York she took courses with Amedee Ozenfant between1942 and 1944. Laliberte first exhibited at the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Quebec in 1940, and the following year she won three first prizes at the Quebec Provincial Exhibition. Her colorful paintings varied widely in subject ranging from landscapes and portraits and utilizing both figurative and abstract approaches. A selection of her landscapes were included in the well-known 1947 exhibition of Canadian women artists in Riverside New York. In 1958 she stopped painting for ten years. It was only in 1971 that she exhibited again when the Musee du Quebec held a retrospective of her work. The greatest number of her paintings are held in private collections as well as the Musee nationale des Beaux Arts du Quebec where a selection of her canvases were included in an exhibition of twentieth-century women artists of Quebec in 2010.
