Louis Archambault, OC (April 4, 1915 – January 27, 2003) was a Quebec sculptor[1] who believed that the arts in Canada should be attuned to the vast scale of the country.[2]
Born in Montreal, Quebec, he won the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada's Allied Arts Medal in 1958.[3]
In 1956, works by Archambault along with those of Jack Shadbolt and Harold Town represented Canada at the Venice Biennale.[4]
In 1968, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.[5]
After his death in 2003, he was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.[6]
