THE SAGA OF THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS -

THE SAGA OF THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS - 
By Bernard Bujold - 
Le Journal de Montréal publishes (Saturday, July 18, 2020) a description of the roles in the current saga being played at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. One must read between the lines of the text, but if one quickly understands that the Desmarais family's relationship is at the centre of the crisis, one must also understand that the real crisis is within the family. 
In fact, Jacqueline Desmarais (1928-2018) had taken over from her husband, Paul Desmarais Sr. to keep the family together after his death in 2013. 
Paul Desmarais Sr. (1927-2013) was a person I adored and had known him since 1984. I loved this man whom I photographed many times. I deeply miss the Patriarch and his era, the belle époque! Paul Desmarais Sr. was a great supporter of the Museum of Fine Arts. 
But since Jacqueline's death, the family would be very divided, as most families are after the death of the founding parents.... 
As far as Nathalie Bondil is concerned, she would therefore end up being just a victim who was in the wrong place. 
But the final paragraph of the text is promising for her future: "Will Nathalie Bondil return to the MMFA or has she left for good? The former leader of the Parti Québécois, Jean-François Lisée, has a strong opinion on this and published it on Twitter on Wednesday (July 15, 2020): "If in 10 days Nathalie Bondil is not back in her position, on her terms, it is to despair of the combined power of the Government of Quebec and the Desmarais".
