La vie culturelle de Québec étend aussi sa vitalité dans le domaine des arts visuels. On retrouve des noyaux d’artistes dans le quartier Saint-Roch, à proximité de l’École des arts visuels de l’Université Laval. Les galeries et les artisans de talent abondent et présentent plusieurs œuvres typées en se consacrant à l’art contemporain. Le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec propose des expositions permanentes d’art québécois et accueillera entre autres l’exposition Camille Claudel et Rodin, La rencontre de deux destins du 26 mai au 11 septembre 2005. Le Musée de la civilisation fait entrer ses visiteurs dans un univers culturel différent avec l’exposition Dieu le tsar et la révolution qui prend l’affiche du 6 avril 2005 au 5 mars 2006. À ne pas manquer, 40 autres musées des plus diversifiés attendent les visiteurs.

Comment: "I'm still not sure if the text did indeed refer to "local" but the use of "distinctive" seemed to be the best solution. Thank you all for your input."

: I wouldn't use a controversial word like "ethnic" when 1) there seems t be no support in the text 2) even if "ethnic" art was being referred to, the author has then "avoided" labelling it in such a way.

Dylan Edwards
: I have doubts about "ethnic", but it made me think: does typées mean "highly individual" (to each artist) or does it mean "with a strong local flavour/stamp" - a characteristically Quebec slant on modern art?

typé definitely means local flavor, as you put it, in French.

David Vaughn
: The original is written rather "approximately" - notice the use of "plusieurs". No way of knowing if the author means the works are "typical" contemporary art, or if they are in "distinctive" - but undefined - styles. This response seems "neutral", donc

I think this gets the meaning. Maybe also something like "works imbued with local cultural influences".
Peer comment(s):
| disagree |
David Vaughn
: The text mentions the local art school & modern art - it mentions nothing about local. It's not impossible that the author wanted to say this by his/her use of "typé" - but it isn't strongly supported by the text.

"type" means,in this sense different from the usual, that stands out.
Original in English also (like the French des oeuvres originales) means creative,new.
