TIIE IIERALT Wednesday May 1989 Page Andreas Drenters exhibition opens May 27 runs again in June Historic Rockwood Academy beckons to art lovers Herald Special The historic Academy is one of the grandest buildings in this part of Canada The 140-year- old edifice was a boarding school for a generation famous Cana dians went to school there Later it was used as a factory and later still it stood almost empty and slowly deteriorated By i960 it had become a ruin Its verandah had rotted away its windows were boarded up or coated with dirt its roof had sagged like the back of an old horse Dry leaves and the refuse of many years had been packed former dining hall and at the back of the building the whole lower floor had vanished behind a wall of earth This was the time when all over the country beautiful old were demolished The mighty old pile of stone in Rockwood was patiently waiting for the same fate At this crucial moment Yosef Drenters appeared was a painter and sculptor of great originality He was discovered by the painter Harold Town and the art dealer Dorothy Cameron and in he became the toast of Toronto with art collectors lining up for his intense and powerful works With the money that came his way he decided to purchase the Rockwood Academy and to restore it This turned out to be a tremen dous task and there came days when he was despairing when he thought that the whole thing was more than he alone could manage But he always rallied he and the Academy became one When the building was saved and embellish ed with a walled in courtyard and a chapel of his own design Yosef Drenters died on November 8 1983 Toddy we can meet the mind and heart of this great Canadian in every corner of his creation Yosef willed the Academy to the Ontario Heritage Foundation and his youngest brother Andreas also a wellknown sculptor moved in as a caretaker For some years now Andreas has opened the house and grounds at least once a year to the public for an exhibition of his latest works Many will remember his exhibition a year ago Now it is again May and a new exhibition is beckoning The days on which the Academy and Andreas Drenters works can be seen are May and 28
