Born in Rivière-Pentecôte, Claude Le Sauteur studied at the École des beaux-arts de Québec under the supervision of Jean-Paul Lemieux and Jean Dallaire.

Rooted in the Charlevoix region, which he loved and which inspired him, he has contributed in a special way, through the donation of silkscreen editions, to the cultural and social development of his community by participating, among other things, in the fundraising activities of the Papeterie Saint-Gilles , the Historical Society, the Regional Museum and the Fondation du Center hospitalier de Charlevoix.

This artwork of the Charlevoix region of Quebec demonstrate his preferred style: flamboyant colors in which landscapes and characters intertwine composed of clear lines and stretched masses which require a second glance to capture his vision. “Retour de St-Joseph, Charlevoix” captures the reconciliation of man and nature – one of the leading themes of the artist. The canvas depicts a classic view of the hills of the region. A marvelous patchwork of fields in shades of green and yellow draw the viewer’s eye from the movement of a walking man with exaggerated leaning body forward to St-Joseph village almost hidden behind the hills.
