Born: 18 June 1926, in Saint-Cyrille-de-Lessard (Chaudière-Appalaches)
Raoul Hunter, a caricaturist and sculptor, finished first in his class at the École de beaux-arts de Québec in 1953. He then went to Paris, studying sculpture and design at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts and art history at the École du Louvre.
He made a name for himself as an editorial cartoonist for Le Soleil from 1956 to 1989, and taught at the École de beaux-arts de Québec and the École des arts visuels of Laval University. His first love, though, is sculpture, where he focuses mainly on statuary.
He was awarded the Order of Canada in 1989.
