Claude Theberge was born in 1934 in Edmundston, New Brunswick, Canada. A graduate of the School of Fine Arts of Quebec in 1954, he continued his artistic studies in Paris until 1960, studying, successively, at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, the National School of Decorative Arts and the Ecole du Louvre. Returning to Canada as an abstract painter, he oriented himself toward interweaving architecture and drawing, which he made noteworthy numerous works expressed in sculpture, stained glass and large murals: Montreal subway, Viger Park, Parlement Complex, and Capitole Theatre of Quebec, Eastern Topographic Society of Boston, etc. But painting dominated his work exclusively in 1980, and with a resolutely figurative, symbolical, and hyper-realist style, he affirms his presence in expositions ever since: Paris, Chicago, Detroit, Moscow, St-Pteresburg, Copenhagen, Santillana, New York, Quebec, Montreal, and Toronto. He won the first prize of the United Nations for the International Poster Contest on World Peace (1954). In addition to the Scholarship of the Canadian Art (1966), he received the Arletty Prize in Paris in 1990 and earned the Gold Medal of the City of Clichy, France, as the guest of Honor at the 62nd Spring Show. The works of Claude Theberge enrich several public and private collections: L’Oreal-Lancôme, the Desjardins Movement, Esso, the Bank of Montreal, the Laurentienne, the World Trade Center of Toronto, the City of Clichy (France), the Aerospatiale (France), the Kennedy Collection (Boston), the Hannah Collection (Chicago) and the Capitale Insurance Co. (Quebec).
