Giuseppe Fiore favre

Giuseppe Fiore (1931–2015), born in Mola di Bari, Italy, immigrated to Canada in 1952 and settled in Montreal, where he lived until his death. He graduated from the École des beaux-arts de Montréal in the 1950s and taught there from 1962 to 1969, later joining the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) as a professor and artist-in-residence until 1989.

Fiore’s multidisciplinary work included oil painting, mixed media, and glass. His art is marked by abstract and poetic qualities, exploring the relationships between material, form, space, and introspection.

He exhibited extensively in Québec and abroad, including at the Osaka World Expo in 1969 and the Menton Biennale in 1972. His artworks are held in several major public collections, including the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal.
