Career edit

Hébert was the son of Théophile Hébert, a farmer, and Julie Bourgeois of Ste-Sophie de Mégantic, Canada East. At age 19, he enrolled as a Papal Zouave and left for Italy where he found the art an eye-opener. The trip had a major impact on his career. Back in Canada, in 1872, he was initiated in making sculpture in wood by Adolphe Rho at Bécancour, then was mentored by Napoléon Bourassa in new approaches to sculpture in Canada.[1] Hébert sculpted forty monuments, busts, medals and statues in wood, bronze and terra-cotta and taught at the Conseil des arts et manufactures in Montreal, Quebec. He married Maria Roy on 26 May 1879 in Montreal, Quebec. The couple's eight children include Henri Hébert, a sculptor, and Adrien Hébert, a painter.

Hébert was an associate member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (1880 and 1895), a full member in 1886-1889 and 1906.[2] At the Exposition universelle de Paris in 1889, Hébert received a bronze medal, the first for a Canadian artist. He also was awarded the Medal of Confederation (1894) and was made a chevalier of France's Legion of Honour (1901), as well as a Companion of St Michael and St George (Great Britain, 1903). The Prix Philippe-Hébert, named in his honour, has been given to an artist of outstanding ability and stature in Québec arts by the St-Jean-Baptiste Society of Montréal since 1971. He was buried in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery, Montreal, Quebec.
