Jean Paul Lemieux, CC RCA GOQ (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ pɔl ləmjø]; 1904 - 1990) was one of the foremost twentieth century painters in Canada.

[1] In 1960, works by Lemieux along with Edmund Alleyn, Graham Coughtry, Frances Loring and Albert Dumouchel represented Canada at the Venice Biennale.

[3] In 1967, he had his first major retrospective of over 100 paintings organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, which toured to the Musée du Québec (now MNBAQ) and the National Gallery of Canada.

Lemieux was a representational artist whose painting career sometimes had echoes of folk art but, in 1956, at the age of 52, he changed his subject matter and refined his technique.

[6] The Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (abbreviated as MNBAQ) held the exhibition Jean Paul Lemieux: Silence and Space in 2022.
