Interview by George Melnyk with Norman Yates, a professor in the Department of Art and Design (1954-1989) and renowned landscape painter

Norman Yates talks about the feeling of the funnel and the influence of cynicism, urbanization, greed, and despair on his art of the late 1960s and early 1970s: it gradually evolved into a recognition of spatial content of the prairie. He discusses compression and the discarding of perspective and how such works gradually became popular.
