Art Instructor Displays Works inLittleArtGallery Visitors at the Little Art gallery during the past week have found an unusually interesting display of drawing and painting representing the work of Jack Wilkinson, instructor in drawing and painting. Part of this one-man show was done by Mr. Wilkinson while he was in Europe in 1938 and 1939 on a Phelan traveling scholarship awarded him by the San Francisco Art association. Mr. Wilkinson won the scholar ship in 1937 but stayed in the United States for another year to assist an artist who was fin ishing' a department of justice mural. First Traveled On the scholarship the painter first traveled through Belgium and Holland, then settled in Paris to study at the Accademie Ran son. Later he traveled through Italy and did extensive studying there. Leaving Italy he returned to France and settled at Aix en Provence to study in the coun try of other artists. Returning to the United States Mr. Wilkinson stayed in New York to study at the Metropol itan museum. Past Exhibits In the past the University in structor has had exhibits at the San Francisco museum of art, the Chicago art institute, the Royal Academy in Montreal, the Portland art museum, and vari ous other museums. The mural in the post office at Burns, Oregon, was done by Mr. Wilkinson. H e entered the sketches for it in national com petition and won the opportu nity to do the wall decoration for the federal section of fine arts. Interest in Form The display now being shown in the Little Art gallery illus trates the artist’s interest in form'. Pleasant little watercol ors, figure studies, portraits, and landscapes are exhibited. Simple, strong figures, charac teristic of his style, are prom inent in the display that fills the entire gallery. The portraits and composition studies shown are especially striking. The display, open to all stu dents and townspeople, will con tinue until May 1. W.A.A.
