Interview by George Melnyk with Norman Yates, a professor in the Department of Art and Design (1954-1989) and renowned landscape painter
Norman Yates discusses his experiences as a student at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto just after WWII and changes in the art world from that time to the late 1980s. He also discusses how he and a colleague opened the Laurentian School of Art, how his travels in Europe affirmed his choice of vocation, how he came to teach at the University of Alberta, and how Expo ’67 contributed to the growth of commercial galleries in Canada.
