This first in-depth examination of the life and work of Gerald Trottier (1925 ��2004) discusses over fifty years of production, including the early Social Realist works, the ��edieval
period��of the 1950s, the imposing expressionist paintings he exhibited at the 8th S瓊o Paulo Biennial in 1965, and the realist paintings he made in the mid-1960s. Trottier's innovative
liturgical design work is also explored in detail. The essay concludes by considering two major bodies of monumental paintings Trottier made late in his career ��his self-portraits and his
