McDonald brothers, inc. U S «1 North Southern Pines, NC artists are John Avent, Virginia Rougher, Peggy DuRant, Estelle Rousseau, Shirley Silloway and Rachael Thornburg, a very nice cross section of our community. One of the remarkable phenomena of the art world is the modern emergence of the enthusiastic amateur. There are numerous distinguished artists so categorized, many now proudly displayed in the leading museums of the woi^d. And at random choice, among them are the Frenchmen Henri Rousseau and Camille Bombois. Americans are a covey of Colonial Primitives and, more recently, John Kane, I.awrence Lebdu.ska, Louis Eilshemius and the beloved Grandma Moses. All of them have succeeded in carving, for themselves an important niche. Their names shall live on. Blessed be the Sunday Painters of the world. They are a group of inspired and devoted craftsmen. By simple, but effective, lucid means they give us pictures of their own awareness and normal personal feelings depicted by quiet in spirit canvasses. Intellectualization is not their goal. They loosen formal art conventions and create very personal forms. It is a direct expression in a relaxed manner, a gentle, lyrical and intuitive shaping of design and color. Their aim is a tasteful approach. To understand the driving power of the human urge to create art here are a few quoted words from the great American painter John Sloan who, in his "Gist of Art" essays to his students, had this to say: "Art springs from an interest in life but it isn’t art if it ends there. The art life of a thing created by man comes through the use of symbols combined to make use of ideas. These images, when projected in forms understandable to the senses of other human beings, are works of art, artifices. The prehistoric man drawing with a blunt tool on the wall of a cave made an image of an animal-he made art. Every word is an image, a symbol. The writer automatically uses symbols. The word animal does not look like the thing but is a symbol for the communication of an idea. "Drawing is one of the three means of communication between spirits, like speech and music. You wouldn’t say nowadays, with pride, 'I can’t understand a book. I never learned how to read.’ Everybody should be able to draw a little the way we write a little or whistle. One reason for the existence of art students and artists is the desire to acquire an additional means of self- expression. In school we may learn our craft but we learn to become artists by making contacts with the world. There must be a desire to express the inner life we have felt and lived." What John Sloan is saying is that the artist has this consciousness of reality in life around him. That is what our present exhibitors have managed to do and it is very interesting to see how each one responds in paint to the environment around him. A few personal words about our artists of the month. Rachael Thornburg lives in Southern Pines and has studied under Mary Black at the Art Museum of Charleston, West Virginia, and at Sandhills Community College. John Avent, after 30 years as a professional engineer with RJR Industries and 34 years of US Army Reserve service, retired and moved from Winston-Salem to Southern Pines. Estelle Rousseau of Southern Pines moved down here from Westchester County, New York some seven years ago and locally has studied with Richard Pryor and Joan Milligan. Shirley Silloway lives in Whispering Pines and studied at the University of Minnesota, with the Silver Mine Guild in Connecticut and at Sandhills College. Virginia Rougher modestly says she is self taught but her works show she is an observant person. She came to the Sandhills from Houston, Texas. Peggy DuRant, of Southern Pines, is an ardent supporter of the Friends of the Southern Pines Library. She studied in California, Pennsylvania and our Sandhills College. More locals should follow the example of these interesting people. ~ "foment shows Tom Connolly recoiling from Susan Chapman the lady with the gun. in the Pinehurst Dinnef Murder Room."
