About the artwork

The piece [Briser] Le plafond de verre (Breaking the Glass Ceiling) was made in tribute to the first woman to have held the position of general manager of a pulp and paper mill in Quebec.

The composition of this painting is similar to that of a large broken window, the disproportionate strokes of paint reminiscent of the bark of white birch trees having taken the form of shards of glass.

Another fact, the Belgo building takes its name from the Belgo Canadian Pulp & Paper Company, originally from Brussels whose mill was established in Shawinigan in 1904, and which set up its head office in this building following its construction in 1913.
