Prominent Artists Will Judge OdeonArt Exhibition Monday By JEANNE SIMMONDS One of several well-known Ore gon artists who will appear Mon day at Odeon, the annual student creative art show, will be the dis tinguished Oregon landscape paint er. Charles Voorhies. Voorhies who is at present an instructor in the Portland art museum, is a former colleague of Jack Wilkinson, Uni versity of Oregon instructor in drawing and painting, and. accord ing to Mr. Wilkinson has expressed amazement at the professional qualities present in the work of Oregon students. “Mr. Voorhies attended Odeon in .1043 and paid exceptional atten tion to the art exhibit which was displaying painting, sculpture, ceramics, etc.," Mr. Wilkinson said. "He expressed himself as pleased ;;t the quality of the student’s work, especially in painting.” Voorhies was described by Mr. Wilkinson who attended the Cali fornia School of Fine Arts with the painter, as “one of Maurice Sterne’s most promising proteges.” Maurice Sterne is a noted Amer ican painter who executed the murals in the department of jus tice building in Washington, D.C. Voorhies and Wilkinson assisted the renowned painter with the mu ral when they were in California attending school together. Traveled Abroad According to Wilkinson, Voor hies intended to become an archi tect even going so far as to study at the University of Pennsylvania m that department. But during this time he became interested in paint ing and has since done a great deal of work in water color, oil and pastels. He traveled abroad before beginning his teaching profession iu Portland in 1930. Influential in organizing the Ore gon guild, an organization com posed of professional sculptors and painters, Voorhies has exhibited his work at the Portland Museum of Art. Recently one of his can vasses was exhibited in the Little EBHH "LEAVE IT TO BLONDIE" "SING ME A SONG OF TEXAS" "LAURA" with Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews — plus — "Atlantic City" Art gallery under the Oregon guild. One of his paintings is owned by the San Francisco Mu seum of Art, while others have been purchased by private collec tors. “We are very fortunate in being able to have Mr. Voorhies come to the campus,” Mr. Wilkinson said. “Not only has he had valuable ex perience as a painter but he is also an individual lover and con noisseur of painting.” Mr. Voorhies will be on the cam pus in time for the 8 p.m. showing of Odeon which is scheduled for Monday, April 23, in the auditor ium of the music building.
