Wroxeter artist, Morris Darling has
painting chosen for cover of brochure
BLYTH - The Blyth Festi,val's 1986 season
brochures are now rolling off Doug Whit-
more's printing press in Blyth - 30,000 in all!
The brochure, designed by graphic artist
Karen Fletcher of Waterloo, shows a detail
from the painting "Pete" by Morris Darl-
ing, an artist living in Wroxeter. The entire
painting will form the 1986 Blyth Festival
poster.
"I really • liked Morris Darling's work
when I saw it for the first time last year in
an ,exhibition in the Festival Gallery" said
Artistic Director Katherine Kaszas. "I felt
there was a strong connection between what
he does on canvas and what we do on stage -
reflecting life and the quality of life of the
people of this area. As with all good art, its
timelessness makes its, appeal universal.
I'm thrilled that we are able to use one of his
paintings for our poster this year."
rete uutlseu t whose real name is actually
Gordon), is now in his eighties and living in
the Teeswater area. He used to reside in
Wroxeter and has worked as a farmer and in
a feed mill in the past; he remembers cut-
ting the grain by hand with a scythe!
The mailing of brochures to those current-
ly on the Festival's mailing list, nearly
10,000 names, took a mere two days, thanks
to the Festival's computer which sorts and
prints all the addresses by postal code. (In
pre -computer days, it used to take a couple
of weeks to get the brochures sorted for
mailing!) If your name is in our computer,
you will be receiving your brochure in the
mail very soon. Please let us know if you are
receiving duplicate copies or if we have an
incorrect address.
Bulk distribution off brochures- to stores,

ty Director) with help from Sally Leitch and
the board of directors. (Brochures are widely
distributed - from, Chatham to Barrie, Wiar-

The hunt is on for quality craft people
BLYTH - The hunt is on for fine quality
craftspeople who would like to take part in a
quality craft sale to be held at Blyth
Memorial Hall on June 28. This one -day
event, organized by the visual arts commit-
tee to support the operations of the Blyth.
Festival Gallery, is intended to provide a
showcase for some of the many talented ar-
tisans working in the region. There will be
demonstrations of techniques and a fine ar-
ray of different crafts displayed on the lawn
and in the basement of the hall.
The long term goal of the committee is to
develop the craft show into a major annual
exhibition and sale. This year's show is a
first step, anti tut mat aea,uu 1L wut ue a
small one. The space is limited. Craftspeo-
ple will be carefully pre -selected by the
committee on the basis of variety and ex-
cellence in design and skill. Preference will
be given to regional artists. .
Like any first step, it is an exciting gam-
ble. Brigitte Wolf, co-ordinator of the event,
knows how to make.a new venture like this a
success. She helped to organize a farmer's
market in New Brunswick that has become
a feature of life there. A craftswoman
herself, Brigitte is sensitive to the needs of
both the area artists and the community.
"l can see a place for a well -organized
CI aft. tau in biyui. the fact that there are ho
other major fairs at that time, just when the
summer holidays are beginning, ,ought to
make it an attractive event for everyone."
The Blyth Festival Gallery extends an in-
vitation to all craftspeople to apply for a
place in this exciting first show.'Applica-
tions are now available. Submissioas will be
accepted until May 1. Forms will b sent on
request (a self-addressed, tamped
envelope is required). If you are interested
in exhibiting or volunteering to help with the
event, please contact either Brigitte Wolf,

TORONTO - The Prints of' Edouard
Manet, the first major retrospective of
Manet's prints to be shown in North
America will be on display at the Art
Gallery of Ontario from March 29 through
May 11.
Organized by the International Exhibition
Foundation, Washington, DC, the exhibition
shows the genius of the great French painter
in a new light - as an innovative master
printmaker.
Edouard Manet the "father of modern
art", was born in Paris in 1832. Often
described as an Impressionist, he was
highly respected during his lifetime by
members of the French avant-garde. His
radically new; personal approach to subject
matter. and technique created a scandal at
the 1863 Salon des Refuses, and kept him in
the centre of controversy most of 'leis life.
Despite being a member of ' the Impres-
sionists, Manet guarded his artistic in-
dependence and sought recognition from the
official Salon throughout his career. Ac -

claimed today as the precursor of a for-
malist approach to painting, , Manet con-
tinues to be an important influence for some
of the most progressive painters of our time.
Although Manet appreciated the tradi-
tional role of printmaking, and effectively
used his etchings and lithographs to
popularize his art, this exhibition
demonstrates that he also saw his prints as
works of art in themselves, and exploited
their creative potential to the fullest.
Early in his career, from 1862 to 1868,
Manet made approximately 100 etchings
and lithographs. The 76 works in this exhibi-
tion include all of Manet's important prints,
and many rare lifetime impressions of his
etchings, which display his brilliance as a
drraLlehtsman and place him in the forefront
