Show UTAH ART ASSOCIATION. The lately organized society of artists held a meeting in their rooms, in the Eagle Emporium building, last night. The Utah Art Association was settled upon as the title of the organization. A constitution was adopted and the bylaws are to be a subject for consideration at a meeting next week. A number of pictures were donated by members to defray the expenses incurred in fitting up the rooms. Among these were an Artic scene by Ottinger, "Fruit," Mitchell; "[unreadable] Bluffs," Lambourne; Egyptian scene, Tullidge. For the purpose of developing original artistic thought, the Association has adopted the plan of selecting a general subject, upon which each member is required to present an original sketch in pencil or color at each meeting. That of last night was "Warmth." W. Clawson produced his Satanic Majesty in the midst of lurid flames, surrounded by what might be taken for the mountain side of City Creek Canyon, overtopped with a Prussian blue sky. This suggestive sketch was more emblematic of heat than the more moderate condition of warmth. G.M. Ottingery presented a tramp warming himself by a copious pull from a bottle of "Volley tan." A. Mitchell represented an elderly dame imparting warmth to the physical structure of a refractory youngster with that conventional instrument of torture known as the birchrod. D. Weggeland presented what appeared to be a donkey race in the region of the Egyptian pyramids. J. Tullidge got his idea from the tropics, and produced a [unreadable]. W.T. Morris produced a flaring picture of a furnace of the Ontario Mine. C.K. Bowring showed up an old lady warming her toes, and a big dog heating his nose by the glowing embers of a parlor fire. The next subject for original sketches is "Fury." The association purpose establishing a library. - News Nov. [November] 2. |
