That "lost art" caught my eye. You may be referring to great craftsmanship demonstrated so often here but there's another kind in your nearby Fredericton where my wife Nancy Stevens' The Liri Valley Paintings---Allied infantry casualties were greater in Italy than any campaign in Western Europe---are being exhibited at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. Lord Beaverbrook, a New Brunswicker, introduced the Commonwealth war artist program during the First World War. Two of Nancy's professors at Mount Allison University were WWII war artists Alex Colville and Lawren Harris Jr. Her university education was paid for by Canada as a child of the war dead. My father survived as a bomber pilot POW. (The father of the Republican economist referred to above fought in the US Army in France in WWI.)
