Andre Dube. Sculptor. Wood carver. Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies, Quebec. Active mid 20th century.
Andre Dube was one of three brothers from the village of Saint-Roch who were known for their dramatic sculptures of Quebec wild life. Often carving lamp bases with subjects ranging from Caribou to Buffalo and fighting Bears. These lamps usually had shades made of thin strips of wood stitched together. They carved animals alone and also elaborate scenes of work on the farm with teams of Oxen ploughing the fields as an example. Andre and Clement Dube shared a workshop in Saint-Roch. Some examples of his work are shown.
