Kitty Bruno was born in 1929 in Montreal. After attending the Montreal School of Fine Arts in the 1940s, she spent eight years in Paris, where she was spotted by Cobra Group artists. On his return home, his work caught the attention of settled critics, including Rodolf de Repentigni Tap In 1959 his “perfect style, full of graphic elements”.

The painter settled in Gaspace in 1961 and was permanently inspired there. “Colorful, cheerful, sometimes bizarre painting, but deceptive and innocent and full of poetry becomes his trademark,” Eric Devlin wrote in a text message to the media announcing the news of his death.
