PAGE 6....C0MPASS....N0VEMBER, 1974 Art Program The Elizabeth City State University Art Department opened its Art Exhibition Program, with the works of three advanced art majors unveiled in the Foyer of the G. R. Little Library. The 30-piece; exhibit, featured the works of Paula L Backus, Davenia Solomon and Cynthia R. Wells. The first to pioneer the presentation of art exhibitions in communities in northeastern North Carolina, this ECSU exhibit was one of twelve planned for the academic year. According to Dr. Vincent J. deGregorio, Chairman of the Art Department, “We have always believed in taking art to the people, so as to further stimulate an interest in and an appreciation of the arts.” Previous off-campus exhibits have been held in motels, banks, shopping centers, pub lic parks and elsewhere. A former member of East man High School’s art club, at Enfield, N.C., Solomon had the most varied and extensive collection of the three exhibi tors. Her 15-piece exhibit included still-life, portrait, landscape and other paintings in oils, watercolor, acrylics and collage, as well as drawings in ink and pencil. Keenly interested in captur ing the faces of people, four of the works by Wells were portraits in oils and charcoal. The Hertford, N.C. native also had on exhibit wood carvings and ceramic pieces. The most talented painter of oils appears to be Backus, as five of her six paintings were done in oils. One becomes impressed with “Still-Wat ers,” “Reflections of Nature,” and “Petals and Shells,” as done by the Eden ton, N.C. native.
