Monument Wilfrid Laurier - Wilfrid Laurier Monument - Montréal, Québec - Relief Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

À l’avant, symbolisant l’union des provinces de l’Est et de l’Ouest, Émile Brunet reprend le thème de la feuille d’érable, sous la forme d’une gerbe que tend une jeune fille, et le thème du blé de l’Ouest, tenu en gerbe par un jeune homme. Cette imagerie est typique des illustrations des années 1950, et n’est pas sans rappeler celle du réalisme socialiste.

On the front, symbolizing the union of eastern and western provinces, Brunet again uses the theme of the maple leaf, in the form of a bundle of branches held by a young woman, and adds the theme of western wheat, a sheaf of which is held by a young man. This imagery, typical of illustrations of the 1950s, bears some resemblance to socialist realism.
