Hello Ulee:
As far as Canadian Architecture is concerned, I am partial to Samuel =
Maclure (although that may be self-evident; see below). Maclure =
sometimes worked with a Scottish immigrant named George Gibson (they =
"built" Hatley castle in 1908-10). Gibson was a master mason living in =
Shawnigan Lake, whose work is wonderful (but again, I am biased). He was =
an artist; a masterful carver of stone, plaster, and wood. Above the =
mantle in Hatley's billiard room, for example, is a sandstone relief of =
Salish hunters that I think (in my very "amateur art historian" opinion) =
may be an extremely significant piece.
There is plenty to see out here at Royal Roads, and I understand some of =
his descendants still live in Shawnigan Lake. If any of this is of any =
interest, please drop me a line.
Regards,
James Douglas

Subject: [Bcma-l] Master Thesis in Art History
Hello,
I am currently collecting topics for my master thesis in art history.
The topic has not been chosen, yet, as I am still searching for =
available books, catalogues, etc.
Does anyone have an idea were I can find materials about Canadian =
Artists, who live in Canada in exile or as immigrants.
Topic 2 would be Canadian architecture (that, is very open, though).
Any ideas, suggestions, hints are appreciated.=20
