Louis Belzile (April 17, 1929 – February 12, 2019) was one of the main figures in geometric abstraction in painting in Quebec and one of the members of the Plasticiens group in Montreal along with Rodolphe de Repentigny (Jauran), Jean-Paul Jérôme and Fernand Toupin.

He studied at the Ontario College of Art with Jock Macdonald and Carl Schaefer[2] from 1948 to 1952 and with André Lhote in Paris in 1952-1953.

[1] On his return to Quebec, he settled in Montreal where he met Jean-Paul Jérôme, Fernand Toupin and Rodolphe de Repentigny (Jauran).

They signed the Manifeste des Plasticiens in 1955, which read, in part (in translation): "The Plasticians attach themselves […] to plastic facts: tone, texture, colors, shapes, lines, final unity that is the painting, and to the relationships between these elements".

In 1980, Martin O'Hara published The Privileged Moment An Interview with Louis Belzile in the McGill Journal of Education.
