About the artist - Translated from the profile at the optional web link below:
Sculptor-moulder Jules Lasalle was trained in visual arts at the University of Quebec in Montreal, and then perfected in France. He has participated in several international symposiums of sculpture, as well as many exhibitions. He directs the atelier Attitudes enr. since 1984. He has sculpted several works in tribute to sports celebrities (Louis Cyr, Gilles Villeneuve, Jackie Robinson, Maurice Richard), to founders of religious communities (Marguerite Bourgeoys, Catherine of Saint-Augustin, Marie-Rose Durocher Émilie Gamelin) and to the work of the women's and men's communities in the fields of health and education. Jules Lasalle also created busts, statues or bas-reliefs commemorating historical characters or events (Monseigneur de Laval, Chevalier de Lorimier, Antonio Barrette, the deportation of the Acadians to Grand Pré). His achievements adorn several public squares and buildings in the capital, Montreal and elsewhere in Quebec, as well as Paris, Detroit and Jacksonville.
