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]
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]
