Show 04000000101 lm July 'd, - ine apringvuie rieraia - rage freven -t in tit . i Ddrfl About two years ago Gary Price was working as a manager at a LaBelle's discount store. It was good work, but it wasn't what he wanted to do. Mr. Price w88-a artist. It was what he had to do. 3'So I sold my (Datsun) 280ZX, bought a JjVolkswagon and started sculpting." Hi's still driving the Volkswagon, still sculpting, and soon, hopes the 27-year-ol artist, he'll really start climbing up thp imaginary ladder of recognition so important in his field. In his home at 290 W. 300 South, Spr-inville, Spr-inville, Price works full-time at his ant. One room of his home is surrounded surround-ed by half-finished sculptures, sketches, sket-ches, lumps of clay and opened books. A high-mounted light shines down on his current work at a 45 degree angle, a direction which helps Mr. Price to rnke the sculpture look more realistic because it's close to the usual angle of the sun. &r. Price's sculptures are definite aid concrete.'nothing abstract or overly over-ly subtle about them. He sculpts dramatic scenes with a spirit of optimism op-timism and achievement. The figures most often looking up with determination. determina-tion. 'More than anything I want to communicate com-municate something," he said. "I want tcruplift, motivate and inspire people. I went it to be something more than something pretty. It should have a spirit." ' That spirit usually revolves around a .Western theme for Mr. Price. Indians and outdoorsmen, hawks and buffalo are the mainstay. Mr. Price is himself oneieighth Cherokee Indian. His current project is a mountainman and his dog, standing over rocks and looking upward. Mr. Price said the sculpture is meant to have an uplifting ability for those who view it. "To them (those who see it) it's going to mean going go-ing ahead and setting new ways." Making a good sculpture is one-half emotion and one-half good technique, he said, both of which are lacking in many works today. "There's a lot of junk out on the market." Mr. Price strives to separate his work from the poor and mediocre works being be-ing created, using anatomy books to understand the structure of the figures, taking pains with the details and altering alter-ing the sculptures until it all fits together in the right way. It's not a liesurely activity, "It's a concentrated effort," he said. One sculpture can take several months to complete. Despite the difficulties, Mr. Price takes obvious joy in his work. "It's an act of creating. You start out with those wads of clay, and you actually create something." Gary Price works on one of the details of his current and yet untitled sculpture.

The Springville Museum of Art is presently exhibiting a collection of oils and watercolors by Springville artists Marie Clark Miller and her sister-in-law, Josephine Clark. Marie Clark was one of the earliest artists to be born in the city and became an exhibitor in the art exhibit each April for many years before her death in 1962. Marie is noted for her watercolors, which usually depicted flowers and landscapes. One watercolor, "Green Grapes," won a blue ribbon in the 1908 state fair in Salt Lake City. This work has been given to the Museum by the artist's sister,, Helen Clark of Springville. The artist's importance lies in her early and continued contributions con-tributions to the Springville art movement.1 Although she lived in California most of her adult life, Marie . often visited Springville and promoted art and culture in this area. Josephine married Marie's brother, Monroe, and presently lives in Provo. She did not begin painting on a regular basis until after her children were grown. She works mostly in oils, and has exhibited in the April Salon. Between Bet-ween these two artists, the Springville art movement was furthered greatly.
