C. Dubeau. Sculptor. Woodcarver. St. Jovite, Quebec. Active early to mid 20th century.
Dubeau made painted relief carvings and they were usually outdoor-sport related. Hunting and fishing, in particular, were his favorite themes. His work was often to be found in the cottages and hunting lodges of the Laurentian mountains north of Montreal. His carvings were strong and very well painted in ‘as found’ colours. The relief work that I have seen by him date from the 1920’s and 1930’s and were in the 18 x 20 inch range in size.
