Learn more about the origin of stained glass, its evolution over a thousand years and its arrival and acceptance as a Fine Arts discipline in the last century. Examine this medium through the eyes of German stained glass artist Detlef “Dego” Gotzens, who has been in the field for the past 43 years. He currently runs a studio in Quebec specializing in Restoration, Conservation and custom design projects. His work can be seen in Cologne, Manhattan (collaboration with Architect Ali Tayar), Montreal (Christ Church Cathedral, St. James the Apostle, St. Joseph’s Oratorio) and Ottawa (Memorial Chamber windows - Peace Tower on Parliament Hill, Notre Dame Cathedral, St. Patrick’s Basilica). A question and answer period will follow the lecture.

Apprenez-en plus sur les origines du vitrail, son évolution pendant mille ans, et son accession au statut de domaine des beaux-arts au cours du dernier siècle. Explorez ce moyen d’expression à travers le regard de l’artiste allemand du vitrail, Detlef « Dego » Gotzens, qui travaille dans le domaine depuis 43 ans. En ce moment, il dirige un atelier au Québec qui se spécialise dans la restauration, la conservation et les projets de commande.

Portrait by Karole Marois

HYNDMAN, Robert Stewart June 28, 1915 - November 29, 2009 | 28 juin 1915 - 29 novembre 2009

“He loved to see students get that eureka moment when they understood what he was trying to teach them, and seeing their work develop over the course of a term or year. Robert Hyndman aimait voir ses étudiants vivre ce grand moment où ce qu’il leur enseignait leur paraissait finalement clair, et il aimait voir leur travail se developer.’’

– Jeff Stellick, Executive Director, Ottawa School of Art / Directeur Exécutif, l’École d’art d’Ottawa
