You Can't Hav , Painting And One On Price
WINNIPEG tCPl-A couple of years ago Kelly Clark was turn- ing out "slick, coinrncrclal draw- ings" for n monnmdh! manufac- turing company. Last year he had two paintings accepted for the Winnipeg Modern Art Show, one of which won a 350 prize.
The 21-year-old artist also de- Ilgned the invitation, poster and eatalogue for the show. fPrnf. Richard Williams. direc- br of the Winnipeg School of Art where Kelly is in student. says his pupil "in going so far and so fast that it's amazing."
0! his prize-winning painting. called "plants." Clark said
"It conveys what I feel About plants. It's no accomplishment at all to paint a plant that looksf like a plant. To me in plant is gigantic. A living thing. even more meaningful than II human, being"
What wniild he have thought of If two year; ago?
"I think I wniild hate liked the colors and would have recognized it was of plants. But that's all. I used to like the Group of Seven kind of things and the Impres- sionists. But I don't know what Picasso was alhabnut."
He said if the painting communi- cated something to one other per- lin it was worth painting. But an. lrtist should not be concerned about his audience.
Mr. Everett Rix and two sons of Dartmouth, NS. were recent visitors to their home. On return they were accompanied by Mrs. Bessie Rix. who will spend some time with her son and daughter- lln-lnw. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Rlx.
