Braithwaite exhibit 'not to be missed' EXHIB IT REVIEW BY BEN WEST Thunderbird Stll{f Wricn - -SOUIHERN lITAH UNNERSITY-- SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS for continuing or former SUU students for 1993-94 can be picked up at the Admissions Office, Room 106 Di pla~ this month, and marking the Braithwaite Gallery's nrst exhibit of winter quarter, are two highly interesting exhibitions of traditional arti tic rec.hniques. The large gallery holds a display of woodcuts and engravings fro m the permanent collection of USU's Eccl R. Ham n gallery in Logan, Utah. The display, intere ting for several reasons, has attained n added dimension by exhibiting works from as long ago a 1900 next pieces as recent as 1986. This allow the viewer to how much the medium has changed in a relatively hort period of time, and also to observe the a pectll which have remained traditional and unchan~. ln addition to revealing a brief slice of the medium's history, dm exhibit also aou-secrions the many possible effects and results of the woodcut. From bold, blocky figure of David Slqueros' MEsclavo" (Siqueros' work is highly respeo:al. incidentally, in the art world. for its faithfulness to the Mexican nationality, Clll.'Sing his name to be ranlu:d with Diego Rivera and Onoco),to the p ~ and intriaue dctli.l of me 4'nd Ward's "Corral Trea Combre1." Ake viewing this exhibit one should ddinitdy come away with a gn:at£r apprechtion fot the ~ uses of line in an, for, while four of thc worka on duplay are color prinu, the rest rely on thickncu of line to create shade and tonal gradations and to describe the corresponding volume. Of the four color cuts, mo t intriguing is Marion Hyde's 1980 "El Charro," which creates a seriou sense of depth in twO<limen ional space. The nve<olor print (with valu of green nd ran) lead the viewer through a Mexican plaza, down paths need by low ad be walls and vegetation, and up staircases to a large brown buildin in the dismncc, obscured by tall trees, wh shad creare pattl!ms over the rea where the viewer rands. Relating to me mmeof spring are the colorful . wor of local artist Serena up lee, displayed (and avajlabl for purch ) in the small gallery. Th 23 watercolors, none larger than I 1/2 feet and most only a few inch.cs in size, deal with the regional vegetation inrerpreoed in various Stages of bloom. The luminous greens, ydlows, purples and blue oolon, and the playful brush rk styli=l the forms of trees and bushes until they resemble masses of cotton candy wrapped around thick, whiskery, thorn-like branches. The most interesting of the worka are those which set small plant figures against the purple and blue local landscapes of towering rock. ·Soft Six Sh~t," and ·smoodl Silver Stallion,• are excellent examples of this, and are made all the mo~ inn:rc:sting by the use of perspective to scale the rock ~ down to the sae of the plant figures. These di.splays will remain in the gallery until January 29. Life Phase Fitness Center Application Deadline February 1, 1993 246 E.
