Colorblind artist finds his 'expression' in generic hues CENTERVILLE-It took almost three decades to finish the book, but Vcslil Harrison's third art book has now been printed and is being marketed. Harrison's first book came out in the 1930s when he published 'Young Laltcr-day Saints Painting and Drawing Book," an art book that helped children draw the prophets pro-phets of the church and other subjects sub-jects relating to Mormon history. In the 1940s Harrison wrote "831 Color Combinations for Show Cards and Signs," another very useful book. an departments, sign shops and advertising art departments where he worked. All of his experiences and note taking led to the construction of the color charts in the first section of the book which he designed primarily for his own daily reference re-ference and use. In the second section of the book, he included material that first appeared ap-peared in a scries of articles Harrison Har-rison wrote for "Your Business" magazine. Harrison said he had one national ad from which he sold 16,000 copies he says, should have a morgue, or working file of pictures. Harrison has a file of facial expressions. It took about ten vears to gather all the pictures for the morgue, he said, and then another 30 years to draw the pictures. The new book has a total of 1 ,420 illustrations which depict 230 different facial expressions. The book is intended as an aid to artists, cartoonists, illustrators and others who might be called upon to portray the human face in all its many moods. The illustrations range from ac- to Centerville in 1920, and he has lived in Centerville since that time. He and his wife Kay live in the house that was built for them before they were married, more than 50 years ago. His mother was bom in a log cabin that once stood near the Centerville Cemetery. His grandfather grand-father Scofield led the choir in the Centerville Ward for 35 years. Harrison said that he has always been interested in art He recalls memories of almost seven decades ago when he would lie on the kitchen kit-chen floor with his sister, working on his coloring books. She would As a young child seven decades ago, he would lie on the kitchen floor with his sister, working on his coloring books. She would tell him which color was correct. In the foreword to that book he says that the book came into being because he is one of the considerable con-siderable number of males who are ctjflor blind. The desire to earn a living in commercial art and lettering, djspitc that serious handicap, led hn to make a special study of the tlf ory, mechanics and use of color. ?The knowledge of his weakness aljo led him to make notes about C(flor combinations used in theater i m of the book, and all these years later he is still getting orders for the book which is now in its seventh printing. The book is in the Library of Congress Con-gress and many libraries across the country. In January 1944, Harrison also had a story in the "Children's Friend" about two brothers who go out to cut a Christmas tree and have an accident. He also illustrated that story. Harrison's latest book is "Facial Expressions-A to Z." Every artist, cusation to pompous and all the way to zealous. Harrison said he will be marketing the book nationally along with "831 Color Combinations." Harrison still wants to write and illustrate at least one more book; this one, the story of his own life. He was bom in Salt Lake in 1909. His family moved to Centerville Center-ville when he was five and then moved back to Salt Lake, where he attended the first four years of school. The Harrisons moved back tell him which colors were correct for each object. Harrison is also well known in Centerville for his work with the Centerville Historical Society in recording and illustrating Center-ville's Center-ville's history. For Vestil Harrison it has been eight decades of observing life and art. With his clear memory and interest in-terest in historical detail, the story of his own life will be worth waiting for.
