Bob Barclay, Senior Conservator, Instruments,
Canadian Conservation Institute,
Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada:
"It was a delight and a
revelation to
examine Paul Gentile's miniature
instruments
first hand. I can say without
reservation
that I have never seen such fine
work before,
especially with such astonishing
attention
to historical technical detail.
He is truly
in a class of his own!" |

Suzanne Lucas, President, Royal Society of
Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers,
(Patron: Her Majesty the Queen) Wiltshire,
ENGLAND:
"The Royal Society of Miniature
Painters,
Sculptors and Gravers has been
devoted, since
its foundation in 1896, to the
highest standards
of miniature art, keeping its
sights ever
on the nearest thing to perfection
that can
be achieved.
…only artists of real merit reach
their goal
of Associate Membership and then
must serve
a minimum of three years' probation
as Associates
before being accorded full Membership.
It is therefore clear that the
power of the
Council to invite an artist to
take up immediate
Membership is a very rare occurrence
indeed.
Yet this is what happened when
Paul Gentile
arrived from Canada with his
case of precious
and immaculate reproductions
of world-famed
musical instruments." |

that we have
met an artist of this [Gentile's]
caliber." |
