Kittie Bruneau is born in 1929. After completing her studies in drawing at l’École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal (1946 – 1949) with fellow artist Gitta Caiseman-Roth and a year in painting at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts School of Arts, she leaves Quebec for Paris in 1950. She is then familiarised with many artistic currents, while improving in dance.

The artistic evolution of Bruneau and the place it occupies in our collective memory is particular. Her paintings and prints are lyrical, colourful and lively. Her strong interest for dance, native practices and oriental philosophy have led her to travel in many countries. One recognises in her work the perpetual search for identity, as well as a constant preoccupation for the human condition.

Since 1956, Kittie Bruneau has taken part in over 50 solo exhibitions, has worked on many murals, videos and artist books.  She been awarded bursaries by the Affaires culturelles du Québec and the Canada Council for the Arts. Her art figures in numerous private and public collections, such as the collection of  the Musée des Beaux-Arts du Québec, the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as the Pratt & Whitney and Loto-Québec collection.
