Artist/l'Artiste The main focus of Surette's art may be seen as twofold:
his depiction of Canadian history particularly Acadia - his own heritage; and his passion
for the sea. In the final analysis they merge into one since the Acadians, having
colonized Nova Scotia as farmers early in the 17th century, later took to the high seas
in large numbers and became fishermen. |
Historical
Surette's magnum opus is considered to be his rendition on canvas of six
important events in Canadian history surrounding the Acadians. The one displayed
above is chronologically the fifth in the series. The one entitled "Burn and Lay
Waste" was the first to be painted. |
