'''Jean-Paul Mousseau''' (January 1, 1927 – February 7, 1991) was a [[Quebec]] [[artist]] He was a student of [[Paul-Émile Borduas]] and a member of the [[Les Automatistes|Automatist]] school. He was a founding member of the Association on Non-Figurative Artists of Montreal. He designed murals for the [[Hydro-Québec]] building and the Peel Metro in Montreal.
⚫
He took a new direction at the end of the 1950s as one of the first Quebec artists who saw the necessity of integrating art into the urban environment. His most important contributions are thus original murals and other collaborations with architects.


==Early career==
⚫
Jean-Paul Mousseau did a great deal of important work in the [[Montreal metro]]. He clashed with the metro's first art director, [[Robert Lapalme]], who insisted that metro art be figurative, represent Montreal history, and be sponsored. Mousseau wished to open the doors to non-figurative art integrated into the architecture and accounted for in the construction budget. Lapalme held sway over the initial network, except for two works (Mousseau's circles at Peel station and [[Marcelle Ferron]]'s stained glass at Champ-de-Mars) which he always regretted.
⚫
Jean-Paul Mousseau studied painting at the age of thirteen while at the College Notre-Dame in Montreal under Frère Jérome (1940–45). He became a student of Paul-Emile Borduas at the Ecole du Meuble, Montreal. He was a member of the group of painters known as the Automatistes. In 1948, he was one of the signatories of the Refus global manifesto.

At the end of the 1950s he was one of the first Quebec artists who saw the necessity of integrating art into the urban environment. His most important contributions are original murals and other collaborations with architects.
⚫
Mousseau took over as art director after LaPalme, and his influence marked all the rest of the network, which includes stunning works of non-figurative art integrated with the architecture. Most of the artwork was planned in accordance with the architects, and many were by the architects themselves. Other works by Mousseau in the metro include the mural ''Opus 74'' at Viau station, two murals at Honoré-Beaugrand, and a mural at Square-Victoria.
⚫
He also created some sculptural lighting elements in the concert-hall of the Orford Arts Centre, in collaboration with the designer Léonard Garneau, who was in charge of the interior design of the centre.


==Montreal metro==
⚫
His work is also integral to [[Montreal]]'s airport and several of its skyscrapers. A major work is a mural (''Lumière et mouvement'') in the Hydro-Québec building in Montreal.
