Hipps, Jr. A yellow two^stbry house sits 3n a hill on west Franklin Street n Chapel -Hill. The number-plate in it reads “309.” Just in front if the house, a modest little sign (so modest you’re likely to over °°k it if you are not careful) sticks its wooden head out of the ground and quietly proclaims this iouse to be the home of “Daniels Art Gallery.” Inside the screen door entrance t° the gallery, pictures in four me =. dia {pencil, pastel, water color and oil) hang from the walls or pit. leaning against them on the floor in colorful array. There are several portraits, among them being two pencils of u- S. Grant and “Teddy' Roose velt, many local landscapes in cluding the courthouse in Hills boro, two views of the Old Well, Person Hall Art Gallery and sev eral well-known homesteads, a eouple of surrealistic pictures, and still lifes. “Autumn, with its red, brown, and golden blend of colors, is per haps the most notable landscape ln the exhibit although “Winter," "nth its cold-blue snow and cou ple sleigh-riding runs it a close second. behind every picture in an art gallery is an artist. The artist be hind every picture in Daniels Art gallery is Archie Daniels, care «*er of Person Hall Art Gallery. *es, I siid “artist”, for this gal ery is a one-maft show- The Vis it01,8’ register, with its 337 (at this timel names scrawled on it by hands coming everywhere from Canada to. South America, and all over the United States, bears mute witness that this, “show” is pop ular. The story of Archie Daniels, ar tist, reads like an Horatio Alger “rags to (fiches” story except for the “riches” part. He was born, the son of Francis Marion Daniels and Frances Ro wan Daniels, on a farm in Perspn county just a few miles from the village of Hurdle Mills “about 60 years' ago,” went to school there in Hurdle Mills and, although he had never been to art school, taught himself to paint at the age of 18. “Mrs. Robert L. Wilburn of my home town and formerly of Lyn chburg, Va., taught «ve my ABCs in Art,” Daniels says, giving cre dit where it is due. “Bift I never really had the time to <jevote to art,” he continues, “until I came to Chapel Hill six years ago. Since ^hen I ve read numerous books on art and at tended every art class right along with the students.” “However,” he says, “since I m on duty at the art gallery only five hours a day, most of rny paint ing is done on my own.” . According to Daniels, John Al cott, former Associate Professor of Art v*, t is now qn leave, of absence from the University with the army, once told him that he ought to “stick to tttt original technique.” J ^ “This I have tried to do, Dan iels says, “even though I’m vitally interested in the progressive move ment of the art department and am looking forward to seeing Chapel Hill the home of a great Southeastern Art Center.” As for surrealism and modern art, Dan iels says, “Although I’ve done a little work in surrealism and in portraits, I don’t particularly care for this modem art. I admire the Old Masters.” “Landscapes are my pride and joy. No person is so happy but what he has occasional blue Mon days and gets down in the dumps. When I find myself in one of these moods, I take my brushes, easel, and pallette and go out on a hill and paint the surrounding country side. Yes sir, painting’s my recipe for a blues cure-all.” Critics have acclaimed the “un usual perspective” and ^original technique” as well as the “lively color sense” so evident in his work. He has exhibited in various coun ty fairs including the one held an nually at Mebane, Virginia State fair and the North Caroline State fair “A couple of years ago,” Daniels says, “ a new Congrega tionalist church in Western North Carolina found an old faded news paper picture of their founding pastor-editor and commissioned me to do a portrait of him from this picture. I did one and present* ed it to. them on their 100th birth day. anniversary.” Daniels has two brothers: H. C. Daniels of Chapel Hill and J. S. Daniels of Mullins. S. C,; and two sisters, Mrs. R. C. Long of Hur dle Mills and Mrs. Meadows Wal ters of Mebane. He belongs to the Methodist church of Chapel Hill.
