The Non-Figurative Artists' Association of Montreal

[1] Meetings at Guido Molinari's Galerie L'Actuelle provided the impetus for the organization by its 20 founding members.

The three members of the provisional council were Fernand Leduc, Jauran (Rodolphe de Repentigny) and Pierre Gauvreau.

[1][5] The last show of the NFAAM was a circulating exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Canada in 1960 which was wide-ranging and included Micheline Beauchemin among others such as Marcel Barbeau.

Afterward, the Non-Figurative Artists Association of Montreal ceased to exist, largely due to the increase in opportunity to exhibit in commercial galleries.

However, it had a critical function for a time in Quebec's cultural evolution[1] and assured the place of abstraction in Montreal.
