High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Les Automatistes were a group of Quebecois artistic dissidents from Montreal, Quebec. The movement was founded in the early 1940s by painter Paul-Emile Borduas. "Les Automatistes" were so called because they were influenced by Surrealism and its theory of automatism. Members included Marcel Barbeau, Roger Fauteux, Claude Gauvreau, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Pierre Gauvreau, Fernand Leduc, Jean-Paul Mousseau, and Marcelle Ferron and Francoise Sullivan. The movement may have begun with an exhibition Borduas gave in Montreal in 1942. However, "les Automatistes" were soon being exhibited in Paris and New York also. Though it began as a visual arts group, it also spread to other forms of expression, such as drama, poetry and dance. The title "les Automatistes" came from journalist Tancrede Marcil Jr., in a review of their second exhibit in Montreal (February 15 to March 1, 1947), which appeared in Le Quartier Latin (the Universite de Montreal's student journal). In 1948, Borduas published a collective manifesto called the Refus global, which is considered an important document in the cultural history of Quebec.
