Rosaire Laplante. Sculptor. Woodcarver. Sherbrooke, Quebec. Active late 20th century.
A naive artist, a sculptor of animals and people doing unusual things in every day situations. Mr. Laplante had a remarkable sense of humor that made his later work stand out. His work was painted in bright strong primary colors and was usually highly varnished. He signed with his initials in the beginning. Near the end of his career he began signing his name.
