R A P I D R I V E R A R T S MORE FINE ART Impressions of the figure By Paula Bolado E ver since early humans were able to express creativity through art, the human form has always been a subject central in recording a way of life. These early creative studies are the early European pictographs on cave walls detailing hunting and religious rituals, to the discovery of The Valley of the Kings, where we found Egyptian sarcophagi layered in gold. They are the Persian angels or Christian cherubs on church walls, or the Madonna and Child in every religious text. When people first learned to use art as a medium for expression and imagination, the human form emerged as a reoccurring symbol of cultural distinction. From the religious icons and baroque paintings of Sandro Botticelli and Peter Paul Rubens, to the expression of social unrest and human debauchery of Edvard Munch and Francis Bacon, to the recorded moments of love and affection of Gustav Klimt and Mary Cassatt, the way these artists perceived humanity, then painted it, left an impression in the way we find ourselves perceiving the world around us. Do we agonize over political change through rapid brushstrokes, or do we share our joy through the birth of a child through soft colors? As artists, we are historians, sharing a generation, a year, even just one hour with others. The first of the lecture series Gallery 86 of the Haywood County Arts Council will offer is an observation of the human form Dan Helgemo “Churchmaid’s Rest” oil on canvas (www.dhelgemo.com) in art. During the week of Nov. 13-18, there will be Monday - Thursday afternoon workshop of lectures from professional instructors in humanity studies discussing the historical developments to the contemporary interpretations of the human form in art history. An evening workshop in life studies will cover aspects of the female and male form in drawing.

In almost every MORE FINE ART Ceramic art captures the autumn season Ceramic tile work by Maggi Fuhriman instance, Fuhriman uses a leaf motif as a background for the tile, sometimes as a subtle suggestion of a pattern, sometimes as a heavy relief. Combining the leaf design with a variety of glaze colors and textures, Fuhriman realizes a great variety of color, pattern and texture. The results are striking. Visitors are welcome to the Twigs & Leaves gallery for an opening reception on Friday, Oct. 6 from 7-9pm. The feature show runs through the end of the month. Located: 98 N.
