Show The Art Scene Works of 50 artists display variety of style and talent By George Dibble More than 50 artists from throughout the nation are represented in the opening exhibition of the current season at the Salt Lake Art Center. the painterly arts, watercolor has also tradituonally been The fifth annual edition of experiment and free expression. This, however, does not suggest a lack of restraint Such preliminary approaches on the contrary involve considerable economy coupled with certain strength and temerity. Great Skill Watercolor West was d by Utah State University with financial from support the Utah State Institute of Fine Arts and is being circulated on a limited tour of the state following the initial showing at Logan. The consid- erable variety of treatment in the v. atercolor medium represents painters from both coasts. Binders Added The art of painting probably originated with a mixture of water and pigment colored earth minerals or dyes from applied to organic sources an absorbent surface. Other vehicles such as oils, fats or gum were subsequently employed as a binder to hold the pigments to the painting surface. Throughout the history of in planning employed stages. In preliminary designing the artist moves freely and with a certain amount of unselfconscious assurance. Tentativeness encourages One could scarcely expect greater skill in manipulating brush and pigment than is seen in Robert Enc Moore's Least Sandpiper, Feeding. This is a punst approach in the sense that the artist uses only transparent pigment to correct any errors that might occur in the process. The purisi painter works from light to darker pigments, allowing each application to dry sufficiently to permit overlays that do not lose their but identity, progressively abet the process of grading areas of the design from one value to another.

Two stimulating works by Ruth Gikow, Girls in Their Turbans" and Circus are Performers" more reliant on the intuitive qualities in painting that feature suggestion and spirited brush proposals to allow the viewer to retrace the exhilarating and spirited proposals of the artist. In a similar way the compilations of fairly opaque pigments in Ruth Snyders pleasant landscape permit the viewer to enjoy a sort of vicarious painting experience.

Harold Frank's Mystic has a dull metallic glow that arises largely in the aseetie choice of palette combined with a restrained patina that emerges through the painting. John Otterson's head study.

Customers dont know that he exists, or that he does what he does. Sun-Tim- Lemon is a fine art lithographer who produces museum-qualit- y prints for some of the countrys best and artists. He is that rare bird, an artist's craftsman, a printer who put aside his own art to serve that notoriously finicky, temperamental, all ego called the faperfectionist mous artist. best-know- n Landfall began Press three years ago with two presses, one artist, a few slabs of lithographic limestone, a printer and the stamina of a drill sergeant. He prints lithographs, art made by a complex printing process that is a distant relative of commercial offset printing. He totaled up nine other printers in the country who Lemon U. to show art work of faculty The University of Utahs annual faculty exhibition will open Sunday at the University of Utah Museum of Fine Arts, featuring several works by studio each of the 16 faculty members.

When they go from press to storage, the stones are trolleyed carefully by a printer In three and an assistant: years weve only broken one stone and the man who did it hard-to-fin- d was fired, said Lemon. When artists come to Chica later on whether Lithography, stone or the more modern metal plate, is based on the antipathy of oil and water. A properly prepared stone will hold ink only in the areas drawn by the artist. Before a stone is inked it is wetted. But the water is rejected from the spots where the drawing was. The stone rejects ink trom the wet surfaces and takes it on the drawn ones. y Senes Well Lemon is a perfectionist who senes his artists well. He adheres to standards as abstract, as rigorous and as hard to achieve as those set by a medieval guild, bough the skills Lemon mastered and the tradition he perpetuates are young.

He's able to turn out unusually complex prints. It will take forever and there's no guarantee of a profit, he said cheerfully. We can never charge a price for printing that reflects the work that goes into it. But we print anyway. Press Wastes Lemon guesses that in the process of not making mistakes, the press wastes about 12 percent of the paper set aside for each print run. Illinois law requires him to keep a meticulous record of each work so he notes how many prints he pulls.
