	Traveling back in time with Edward Lear \| Sep 22, 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The theme of British travel art begins with works from the late 18th Century, when artists went on the "Grand Tour" to Italy to study the rich Italian and Greco-Roman artistic and architectural history found throughout the country.
		Particularly striking is a small hand-colored sketch by Sir William Hamilton, focusing on the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, which vividly captures the oranges and yellows of a burning fire amidst a fl, smoky sky.
		While the similarity of the subject matter in the works does deprive the exhibition of some of its vitality, it nevertheless covers an important aspect of British art's development and is fairly representative of how 19th-century British artists perceived foreign landscapes.

		AIA Gold Medalist Louis I. Kahn’s Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Conn., was selected by the Institute Honor Awards for Architecture Jury on November 19 to receive the 2005 Twenty-five Year Award, honoring structures of enduring significance that were completed 25 to 35 years ago.
		When the center received an AIA Honor Award in 1978, the jury noted, “This building is a gentle urbane masterpiece.
		Andrea O. Dean wrote in the AIA Journal, “The new Yale Center for British Art serves as a fitting summation of [Kahn’s] work and ideas...In fact, many of the most forward-looking aspects of this building...are adaptations of Beaux-Arts principles firmly repudiated by most ‘Modern’ architects.
