Hi Marsha. One of the reason's i use 'atelier', is that its widely used here still, as i live only 1 hour from the border with France, and 50 % of Belgium is French speaking, so "Atelier" here is still in use and favo-, in the connotation of painting atelier's, not so for other niche's.
The second reason is that my father started as glassmanufacturer, And when glass is involved,-always atelier to adress. glass/lead/came technique=> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_came_and_copper_foil_glasswork He studied this in France, and in Belgium. Both country's have a lot of churches and subsequentely very big churchwindows with enormous glass in lead artworks. After worldwar 2 most of these artworks were damaged by allied bombings, and my father moved to Italy and especially Chartres in France to learn to work with these technique's The Cathedral of Chartres full of glass art.. Some are repaired by him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Chartres. Note, his colorslides and drawings about the repairs, the designs and transparants are still in his atelier. He also worked a lot on the church of Assenede,my town of birth,i think he worked there for 5 years or so,my mother still lives there, and the atelier is located at Assenede. http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/Belgium/Flanders/Oost-Vlaanderen/Assenede/photo139421.htm The link about Assenede is also an aside for Arlo, because the kill's are shown partially. you will find Grote Kil >> great Kill, (like Schyulkill, the Catskill's) nearly on the Dutch border. This creek, The Grote Kil, the great kill is where i learned to swim long ago. We have a lot of other kill's..some of them are shown here. Oost Vlaanderen is East Flanders, where i live. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/21795906 One day he felt the urge to paint as a spin-off, and it was very succesfull from the beginning on,so he moved on on this path ever since. But most of his Hand/mouth Blown glass is still there, its worth a lot of money because of the old German colors and the italian way of producing it. Some of it is even very rare and famous uraniumglass, very high priced. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_glass --------------------------------------------------- Adrie, Does you father's studio represent a work of art for your brother? Or maybe his own heart's desire? I cannot guess, but my studio feel's like a temple, and painting a type of invocation to a inner calling. So coming back to your question,..The atelier is not a temple but a goldmine owned by my youngest brother, when he bought us out, the other children, during the time the inheritance was settled. (but after locking the atelier)..., and not to tell us about the content....he purchased the property after that. The youngest also became a loner after that. Because i'v always liked my father's glasswork more than his paintwork (and i still miss him) i'v started hunting the specialised markets in France and Belgium, to find some of them back, and to purchase them if i came across an opportunity. And so i did!!, i found one on an aution in Belgium from a privatecollection, (the owner of them owns a shitload of my fathers work!) There was a lot of interest and several artcollectors made the final price halting at 8000 Euro, think this is about 7500 dollar. so i own one now, my own treasure made by my father. If you like a picture of it, with signature,i will send it to you.(only you) A friended architect is working on a design to embed it in a wall in my livingroom. Does this in any way relate to Pirsig's work? in fact it does. My father's atelier was his own Arete-environment , his boat made from bricks, his manifestation and isolation at the same time. He was a difficult man to handle, artists mostly are. Adrie Marsha 2011/2/24 MarshaV <[email protected]> > > Adrie, > > Does you father's studio represent a work of art for your brother?
