Born in Tadoussac, self-taught painter Claude Guité enjoyed a successful career as a muralist in the 1970s and 80s. During this period he created some 50 murals throughout Montréal, including those at station Snowdon.
Following a study of the station’s materials and surroundings, the architect created a cycle of four murals themed on the four seasons. The murals representing spring and winter are on the orange line, while those representing autumn and summer adorn the blue line platforms.
