Doi of the Southern Oregon college Art department gave a talk on the subject, "What is Art?" at the meeting of the Southern Oregon Society of Artists, Wednesday, February 27. Mr. Doi led the group in a discussion of the question to arrive at a mutual under standing of the basic issues in volved. He explained that the answer to the question is not only central to an understand ing of art, but also basic to any evaluation or judgment of a single work of art. He emphasized that although there is no one single answer, it is nevertheless not a pure ly subjective matter. He of fered an analysis of the var ious components to be found in a painting and used the work of the artist Jasper Johns as an example. Final plans for the Gallery sale at Mann's Department store were made and a large group of paintings will go on sale there beginning March 4 for five days. The public is invited to visit this sale and exhibit as many different types of paintings will be in cluded.
