Alonzo Cinq-Mars was a sculptor, painter, draftsman, poet and journalist, serving as a parliamentary correspondent in Quebec City for several years before enrolling at the École des beaux-arts de Québec in 1920. He would later become a founding member of the Société des arts, des sciences et des lettres de Québec. From 1933 to 1941, his work was frequently shown at the Salon of the Art Association of Montreal. Les Médaillons d’Alonzo Cinq-Mars, a book on his artistic career, was published in 1968. Some of his works are currently housed in the Canadian Museum of History and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.
