T. Heinrich. Sculptor. Woodcarver. Montreal. Active 1940’s.
T. Heinrich was a flat-plane woodcarver. While he or she was an excellent flat-plane carver, signed works are very rarely found by this artist. Those that are found are pairs of Quebec people in traditional costume and they were carved in the Trygg manner. They are very well painted and signed on the base: ‘Hand Carved – T. Heinrich – Montreal’. Some examples are shown here. *

*T. Heinrich was one of several Quebec flat-plane woodcarvers whose carving careers seemed to have stopped sometime in the 1940’s or in a few cases the very early 1950’s. (The second world war may have been a factor for some.)
