Philippe Paul-Louis Juste Honoré (French: [ɔnɔʁe]; 25 November 1941 – 7 January 2015), known by the pen-name Honoré, was a French cartoonist[1] and a long-time staff member of Charlie Hebdo.

Honoré was among five cartoonists assassinated on 7 January 2015, during the shooting attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper office.[2]

Biography

[edit]

Born in Vichy, Honoré grew up in Pau. Honoré was a self-taught artist, getting published for the first time in 1957 in the regional newspaper Sud-Ouest.[3][4]

He worked as an industrial designer for the Société Nationale des Gaz du Sud-Ouest, a natural gas supplier.[3]

Honoré had a long career in newspaper and magazine cartoons, working with dozens of publications, including Sud-Ouest,[1] Libération,[1] Le Monde,[1][5] Les Inrockuptibles,[1] La Vie ouvrière,[5] Charlie Mensuel,[5] Le Matin,[5] and Expressen.[6] He illustrated many book covers, including the anniversary edition of Petit Larousse. His artwork was featured in a number of group exhibitions.[4]

He became a staff cartoonist for Charlie Hebdo in 1992. With its thick line (somewhat reminiscent of woodcuts),[4][7] and strong reliance on black-and-white, Honoré's style stood out from the other Charlie Hebdo cartoonists.[8]

The last cartoon tweeted by Charlie Hebdo minutes before the attack was an illustration by Honoré of the ISIS leader, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, offering formal New Year's wishes.[9]

Honoré was critically wounded during the attack, and died in the hospital emergency room.[7]
