Art Sale
Scheduled
Richard T. 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. The next meeting of the
group will be held at the
Girls Community club, Wed
nesday, March 27. Those in
terested in art are welcome.
