Borduas, Paul-Émile (1905–60). Canadian painter, active mainly in Montreal but also in Paris and New York. He trained as a church decorator under
Ozias Leduc, then studied in Paris. In the early 1940s, under
Surrealist influence, he started to experiment with
automatism and he was the driving force behind the radical abstract group
Les Automatistes. His later paintings have an
all-over surface animation recalling the work of
Pollock, although the only American influence Borduas acknowledged was that of Franz
Kline. In 1953–5 he lived in New York, then spent his final years in Paris, where he died of a heart attack. He ranks with
Riopelle as one of the outstanding Canadian abstract painters of the post-war years.
