Legacy Cabinet

A collection of art objects from various disciplines that were inspired by Jacques

Murray Adaskin

This composition was the result of my request that Murray write something for solo violin in honour of Jacques’ 50th birthday.

Robert Archambeau

Bob’s many offerings often came with instructions: Don’t just LOOK AT this bowl. USE IT!

Rudolf Bikkers

Joseph Drappell

Jacques gave Joseph his chevalier award and asked him to make the frame more important than the paper. The certificate has slipped deep into the frame, but this is how it is.

Ron Meyers

This vase is one of two Ron made for Jacques with figures playing violins.

Greg Murphy

Greg made several portraits of Jacques over the years. This is a print of one of them. The portrait he is painting in the photo now hangs in the office of the chair of music at York.

Laura Donafer

Jacques couldn’t resists the spikes in the glass violin.

Sherry Pribik

Jacques found an old violin at a junk shop and gave it to Sherry with the request that she ‘do something’ with it. She hacked it up and sewed it back together.

Tony Urquhart

Tony began this drawing at one of our salons. He often listened to the music with pencil and paper in hand and he says he’s always listening to music—often Jacques’—as he works in his studio.
