2 Wednesday, September 22,1993 Photos Show Colorful Side Of Greece Travel photography often can present a limited view of places, seen only through the eyes of the touring photographer, but a University faculty member’s recent trip to Greece has produced works that transcend the usual to offer a more complete picture of the nation and its inhabitants. “Greece Revisited, ” a collection of pho tographs by L. Scott Campbell capturing the essence of Greece, is on display at the George Watts Hill Alumni Center. The photo graphs were chosen from WENDY MITCHELL | Art Exhibit Hill Alumni Center Through Oct. 16 more than a thousand that Campbell shot as “constant reminders ofbeautiful places.” Those featured in the exhibition concen trate on the landscape and architecture of Greece, rather than the people. “I thought these pictures could high light thebeauty ofthe Greek people through their environment,” he said. “The country is a collage of fascinating landscapes.” Campbell, an assistant professor of so cial medicine in the School of Medicine, took the black-and-white and color photo graphs while on vacation this summer.

Professor L Scott Campbell demonstrates skill and creativity with black-and-white landscapes such as ‘Dawn at Paroikia, Paros, Greece,' which effectively captures the quiet stillness of a waterfront one early morning. also photographed Greece in 1984, which resulted in an exhibition called “Cyclades Odyssey: A Photographic Essay.” For his latest exhibit, Campbell did not limit himself to the islands of Greece. He explored central and northern , areas for eight days. “This time, we wanted to get a sense of the true Greece and tour parts of the inland,” he said. The majority of the photographs in the exhibition are in color, but Campbell said he was interested in exploring the black and-white medium further. He does make good use of the color element through interesting compositions that juxtapose the clean,white buildings with dashes of color surrounding them. “Zagoria Village, Pindos Mountains” is a landscape of somewhat dilapidated build ings made cheery through the brightness of laundry and curtains. “Contrast” also uses color well and is taken from an interesting angle, revealing a green door against white stairs. “You just can’t capture a lot of this magic in black and white,” Campbell said. Some of the black-and-whites are very successful, however. “Homecoming,” one of the works that concentrates on people, is powerful inblackand white.

His “Venetian Fort, Natpaktos” is particularly striking, in which a picturesque waterscape is seen through the stone arch of a fort. Also spec tacular are “Agia Trias Monastery, Meteora” and “Roussanou Monastery, Meteora, ” two shots of buildings carefully crafted on high peaks. Though the photo graphs look like they were taken from an airplane, he photographed them from other pinnacles for a breathtaking result. The alumni center’s exhibit space is not as breathtaking, namely the hall’s poor lighting and glare from nearby windows.

Ackland Exhibit Accents Quiet Beauty of Campus Walking into the George Nick exhibit at the Ackland Art Museum is shocking. His oil paintings of campus bring the build ings to life and invite you inside. Think ofhow many times you walk past the Smith Center, Person Hall, the Kenan Center and the law school with little notice of them. It’s part of your everyday sched ule nothing special. Last year the Ackland Art Museum, with the sup port ofthe Uni versity Bicen tennial Obser vance lOffice, commissioned IWATOETTEGLADDEN Art Exhibit Ackland Art Museum Through Nov. 7 Nick to make an artistic record of UNC. He spent six weeks outdoors with his can vas discriminately painting his subject campus. The results are an entirely new and different perspective of the University. Nick’s campus is one you haven’t seen yet. The exhibit is part of the Bicentennial Observance but does not cooperate with its grandiose, formal image. The paintings are far from the stiff, boring landscapes and still-lifes you might expect. They have then own character and style. Nick captures campus as it is in daily life. For example, in the painting “Isaac Taylor Building” he includes bicycle racks and bicycles. In “Ackland Museum Court yard-Halloween” there is a water hose strewn on the ground and a person sitting Indian-style reading. Viewers commented on the paintings’ “glorious” colors and “strange” perspec tive. At first glance, the paintings have straight, hard lines. The buildings are fixed and perfect. This is only an illusion. Up YELTSIN FROM PAGE 1 past. Yeltsin paid a highly publicized visit to a military base just last week in a pos sible attempt to rally support. Khasbulatov urged the police and mili tary to ignore orders from the president and appealed for a nationwide general strike. Yeltsin made similar calls in 1991. “Do not fulfill any illegal decrees com ing from the president, ” Khasbulatov said. “These decrees are considered invalid.” It was unclear how the public would respond to Yeltsin’s sudden assault on his opponents. Public opinion polls repeat edly have showed little support for the Communist-dominated parliament. Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin told reporters the Cabinet supports Yeltsin. He also said there were no unusual troop movements and that there would be no attempt to storm the White House. The constitution, draftedin Soviet times, does not specifically give the president authority to dissolve parliament or call elections. But Yeltsin has often argued that, as president, he has the authority to take actions not specifically barred by the con stitution. <Ui|F Daily ©or close, the lines become softer and disap pear into thick brushstrokes and shading. All of the paintings have a kind of “shad owing” effect. This is Nick’s magic. It’s similar to a stage technique used in plays like “Romeo and Juliet. ” During the scenes at night, patterns of leaves can be seen on the stage floor. Nick achieves the same effect on can vas. Shadows of trees blanket the painting of the Carolina Inn creating a lazy, roman tic quality. Surrounding tree shadows also coat the door of Person Hall. This natural shading gives the buildings character, makes them more real. A bright salmon-peach is the dominant color in most all of the pieces. It is eye catching and almost blinding at first, like sunshine on white cement. The color de mands attention. When it rained during Nick’s stay, he did a reproduction of the museum’s Corot landscape, “Rocks by a Stream.” This is one of the only paintings outside the Uni versity theme. He achieves the same dark colors and linear movement as the original but loses some of its dark, mystical quali ties in the end. Nick received a master’s degree from Yale in the early 19605. He spent several years teaching at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, the Maryland Institute in Baltimore and the University of Pennsylvania. In the late 19605, he moved to Boston where he now practices his art. Nick’s Chapel Hill paintings will be on display in the Ackland Museum’s East Gallery through Nov. 7. Festivities for the show and the Bicentennial Observance are planned for November when Nick will return to Chapel Hill to discuss his work. CAMPAIGN FROM PAGE 1 and WUNC-FM. Nancy Davis, director of communica tion for the Bicentennial Campaign, said it was not uncommon for universities under taking a large fund-raising project to fall short in individual project goals but to exceed their overall goals. “While we are striving to meet all our subgoals, it really isn’t uncommon, ” Davis said. “As more departments meet their goals, we will be able to focus our attention on those that have not,” she said. Davis said she also thought the Univer sity wouldn’t have a problem in reaching its goal for the Bicentennial.. The Bicentennial Campaign began in 1983 and will continue to accept pledges and donations through June 1995. STONE FROM PAGE 1 dent affairs, said Stone, who helped to develop the black cultural center, was a pioneer in black cultural appreciation and understanding. “Dr. Stone, along with a number of others, provided some very important an tecedents for our black cultural center, ” he said. “You see, by the time we open the doors for our new building, we will have a cultural tradition on this campus that is almost 25 years old.” During her years at the UNC, from 1974 until her death in 1991, Stone was involved in the development of several campus organizations. She also played a key role in the creation of the African- American studies curriculum. Audreye Johnson, a professor in the school of social work and a colleague of Stone’s, said Stone taught concern and an improved respect for African Americans. "This is our pledge to your legacy, Sonja: We will keep your legacy alive in our memory if you’ll keep an eye on us as we get our black cultural center,” she said. Jimmy Hitchcock, co-founder of the Black Awareness Council, said he remem bered Stone as a fighter. “We come here to celebrate one of our warriors,” he said. “She was a warrior who worked to set minds free, but she also set souls free.” She showed her students opportunities and ideas they had been unable to see, he said. “She opened the doors to the books,” he said. "And she set forth a movement for everyone to get those books.”
