Biography from AskART:
| A painter and sculptor, Marc-Aurele Suzor-Cote was Canadian. He
began his career with church decoration projects when he was in
secondary school and worked for Joseph Rousseau Company. A major
influence on his career was Wilfrid Laurier, from whom he secured
numerous decorative commissions.
From 1891 to 1912, he traveled frequently between Canada, the United
States and Europe. He studied in France from 1891 to 1894 and
1897 to 1901, and was a student of Leon Bonnat at the Ecole des Beaux
Arts. He also studied at the Academie Julian and the Academie
Colarossi.
He exhibited frequently at the Art Association of Montreal and the
Royal Canadian Academy as well as the Paris Salon, beginning 1894.
After 1912, he desired a quieter life and worked in his studios in
Arthabaska and in Montreal. His mediums were pastels, oils and
bronze. Sculpture was something he began during this period, and
by 1918 had secured a reputation for sculpture as well as
painting. In his paintings, he focused on historical events and
winter scenes.
The art career of Marc-Aurele Suzor-Cote ended when he became paralyzed in 1927.
