La Chasse (The Hunt) is a masterful work from pre-eminent Canadian artist Jean-Paul Lemieux. An enigmatic figure foregrounds the depiction of two dogs running in the woods. The theme of hunting and nature are themes dear to Lemieux. Rendered in ink and gouache, the painting is evocative and the work of one of Canada's modernist maters.

Jean Paul Lemieux (1904-1990), painter, illustrator, critic, and teacher, is one of the most significant artists in the history of Canadian modern art. Lemieux's oeuvre belongs in the figurative tradition of the twentieth century. Born in Quebec City, he chose to pursue his artistic and teaching career in his native city.
