Marcel Lapointe, S.J.<\/strong> It is comprised of abstract and figurative works realized between 1962 and 2001. The collection includes paintings, lithographs, woodcuts, linocuts, and etchings that attest to Fr. Lapointe\u2019s lifelong passion for artistic creation.<\/p>\n<p>The copious writings and course notes in his fonds d\u2019archives illustrate his profound conviction that the best way for him to answer to his religious calling would be by making art and teaching art.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p>Born in Magog in 1928, Marcel Lapointe studied at S\u00e9minaire de Sherbrooke and Montreal\u2019s Coll\u00e8ge Sainte-Marie before joining the Society of Jesus in 1952. He was ordained in 1963. In 1966 he enrolled in the Montreal School of Fine Arts, where he studied printmaking. Fr. Lapointe went on to teach art at Coll\u00e8ge Jean-de-Br\u00e9beuf until 1995. He subsequently devoted his time and energy to his own printmaking and to accompanying artists studying at the print studio at the Ges\u00f9 \u2013 Centre de Cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9. He was appointed curator of the French Canadian Jesuit Province\u2019s art collection, and also made a member of the Montreal Diocese Committee for the Safeguarding of Religious Heritage. His works were shown as part of group and solo exhibitions, notably at the Ges\u00f9, where a retrospective exhibition was held in 2005 in his honour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/archivesjesuites.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Lapointe_M_portrait_01-714x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-660\" width=\"357\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archivesjesuites.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Lapointe_M_portrait_01-714x1024.jpg 714w, https:\/\/archivesjesuites.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Lapointe_M_portrait_01-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/archivesjesuites.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Lapointe_M_portrait_01-768x1101.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archivesjesuites.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Lapointe_M_portrait_01.jpg 1046w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marcel Lapointe, S.J.
