Alfred Laliberté
Alfred Laliberté (1878 - 1953) was a Québécois sculptor.
Born with Holy-Elisabeth-with-Warwick, in the canton of Arthabaska, he learns the agricultural trades early, and he initiates himself with the sculpture at the fifteen years age. He gains its first price at the twenty years age with a large statue of Wilfrid Laurier.
He studies with the École of the Art schools of Paris where he binds friendship with his compatriot the sculptor Marc-Aurèle de Foy Suzor-Side. Of return to Canada, its works show in 1907 the influence of the sculptor Auguste Rodin.
Laliberté becomes professor with the École of the fine arts of Montreal in 1922. Author of more than 900 sculptures, it privileged the national figures like Louis Hébert, the Patriots, the Curé Labelle or Dollard of Ormeaux.
Between 1928 and 1932, it carves more than 200 small bronzes. He dies in Montreal in 1953. Laliberté is buried with the Cimetière Our-Lady-of-Snows.
