Enjoyed this. Excellent character study. Bailey카지노 게임 컬렉션s moment with art in Paris brought back memories of a similar kind of encounter:  André Biéler카지노 게임 컬렉션s Art 3 course in 1962 in the Agnes Etherington soon after its expansion. Biéler offered a wonderful combination of vivid art history and 카지노 게임 컬렉션try for yourself카지노 게임 컬렉션 hands-on studio. I still have my watercolour effort to capture a Roman baroque façade 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and an enduring interest in art history.

A royal connection

Permit me to add a personal observation to Tony Atherton's account of the Prince of Wales's visit to the Léon Krier exhibition at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre; one that very nearly did not happen (Fall 2022 issue). 

As the instigator and organizer of the Queen's/Alcan architecture lecture series, I invited Prince Charles카지노 게임 컬렉션s architectural guru, Léon Krier, to be the 1991 guest speaker. The original idea was that he would also join Prince Charles, eminent Toronto urban-design theorist Jane Jacobs, and others for a panel discussion following his talk. During a research trip of my own to London, I had the occasion to speak with the Prince카지노 게임 컬렉션s deputy private secretary, and learned from him that Charles would be delighted to join such a panel. All this would take place in the larger context of the lectures and symposia celebrating Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s sesquicentennial. The stellar conjunction of events proved too good to be true. 

Conflicting agendas for the prince's visit and subsequent mis-communication between Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and St. James카지노 게임 컬렉션s Palace nixed these 카지노 게임 컬렉션best laid plans.카지노 게임 컬렉션 Krier카지노 게임 컬렉션s lecture and the symposium went ahead anyway several days after the royal visit. Meanwhile, a small exhibition of his sketchbooks that Krier had loaned for the occasion opened at the Art Centre. Two MA students of mine, Joan Coutu and Denise Jakal, wrote a slim but elegant catalogue, prefaced by me, to go along with the show. We had the distinct impression that Prince Charles would never visit it. But the night before his Oct. 28 honorary degree award-ceremony in Grant Hall, I received a surprise telephone call from my friend and colleague, David McTavish, the director of the Art Centre. A security sweep of the premises had just taken place. At the last minute the prince would see the Krier exhibition after all. 

David and I awaited the prince in the former Etherington House dining room, where the exhibition was on display. Charles and his party finally arrived. The display cabinets were open for him to leaf through Krier카지노 게임 컬렉션s fascinating drawings. They related to the architect카지노 게임 컬렉션s 1982 imaginary Laurentine Villa project, an encapsulation of his thinking about the interrelationship of citizen, city and state, which eventually bore fruit in the prince카지노 게임 컬렉션s model village at Poundbury in Dorset. 

Prince Charles was enthralled with the sketchbooks, never shown in public before. I will always remember the enraptured look on his face when, like a child let loose in a toy shop, he turned to a door open to the rest of the gallery and asked what else he could see. Sadly for him, the members of his entourage quickly intervened to whisk him away.
