		Beyond the realism, masterful composition, and dramatic use of light and shadow apparent in his work, Robichaud’s paintings and graphic works convey an affection for the places they illustrate and invite the viewer to discover them.

		It was called the Program of Equal Opportunity and it was implemented by a fiery young premier named Louis Robichaud, a Liberal who was so genuinely liberal that most of today's socialists would pale by comparison.
		Robichaud came from eastern Kent County and was the province's first Acadian premier.
		One of the people who best understood the value of the program was Richard Hatfield, the Conservative premier who defeated Robichaud at the polls in 1970 and was expected by many still angry opponents to dismantle it or at least introduce drastic modifications.
