Alfred Pellan (May 16, 1906 - October 31, 1988), is an important 20th century Canadian, Quebec artist. Studies in Paris in 1926 led to the development of a personal syle incorporating fractured, abstract forms. He taught art in Montreal, and his later work included commissioned murals, stained glass works and mosaics.
