The work includes five murals. Three are installed on the pavilion’s main façade, facing the lake, and two others are on the lateral façades (one per façade). Each mural is composed of 12 metallic bands 30 cm wide, installed side by side and inserted in a grey metallic frame. The murals are coloured red, orange, and yellow. They were produced in an industrial context, but the artist hand-retouched the painted surfaces, bringing great richness to these colour fields.

Whereas the 1958 murals had been made in ceramics, Vermette’s favourite medium at the time, the current murals are made of metal. This choice was due to the desire to use a material that would stand up better to prolonged outdoor display. The five murals at Beaver Lake Pavilion were the artist’s last creations before his death.

The artwork was produced on the occasion of restoration of the Beaver Lake Pavilion. The murals replace those that Claude Vermette had created when the building was constructed, in 1958, and that had subsequently disappeared. Upon request of the Ville de Montréal, the artist agreed to make new murals on condition that they would not be a reproduction of the original.
