Alphonse Riel. Sculptor. Woodcarver. Montreal – Laurentians, Quebec. Active 1950’s – ?
The name Alphonse Riel is found on a painted flat-plane relief carving – apparently one of a series of carvings made by him (and others) and sold in the middle of the last century. They were part of an association of woodcarvers called ‘Art Carvers Associated’. They made typical Quebec and Laurentian scenes of cabins and country-side. An example by Alphonse Riel is shown below with images of the pamphlet accompanying the carvings.
