Iconic Montreal cartoonist Serge Chapleau celebrated at McCord Museum

The McCord Museum will be reopening June 23 with a new exhibition honouring the work of Montreal cartoonist Serge Chapleau. The exhibition, CHAPLEAU, Profession: Cartoonist, will cover the past 50 years of cartoons done by Chapleau, and will include over 150 original illustrations.

Chapleau has been the cartoonist at La Presse since 1996, and his satire illustrations include popular figures like Céline Dion, Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump. The artist is also known for his popular character Gérard D. Laflaque, which had its own TV show on Radio-Canada from 2004 to 2019.
