Claude Théberge

1934 - 2008

At age 16, Claude Théberge was admitted to the graphic art program at the École des beaux-arts de Québec, where he studied with Jean-Paul Lemieux and Jean Dallaire from 1950 to 1954. From 1954 to 1960, he lived in Paris, where he studied, successively, at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, the École du Louvre, André Lhote’s academy, and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. In 1963, having returned to Montréal, he founded Atelier Claude Théberge, bringing together 10 artists from various disciplines interested in the integration of arts with architecture, including Marcel Gendreau.

Artwork description

In the station’s two entrances and over the escalators, constantly changing patterns in the concrete walls produce a feeling of animation. The work can be seen as a sort of prolongation of the similar motifs in the artwork at Verdun station, the next stop on the green line.
