drawings of Peter Dix now on display in the Duffy Lounge at the Clarkson Hotel offer fresh perspectives on familiar sub jects and intriguing glimpses of subjects not so familiar Dix has formidable techni que with the basic tools of paper and pencil within the limited range of white and gray tones he accomplishes great deal bringing life to his por traits and scenes of India and the near east TEXTURES One portrait larger than life size face of an old woman shows off the artists ability to create beautiful textures with pencil The womans face is ravaged by wrinkles and by an expression close to despair but her essential dignity shines through The portrait evokes compassion and sympathy and ranks as the most expressive in Majors stars HOLLYWOOD AP Lee Majors and Burgess Meredith will

BARRIE the eight Dix drawings in the show The haunting quality of this drawing gains strength paradoxically through the delicacy of the shading The face brims with character yet seems on the verge of dissolv ing into the white space that surround it Its remarkable drawing that builds kind of visual momentum the longer you look at it The portrait of the old woman is flanked by two smaller por traitsone shows distinguish ed man sitting in chair while the other shows Shakespearean actor posing on set Both are done in pencil and both show Dixs mastery of detail and technique though neither can match the centre portrait in emotional power Dixs other drawings are more mysterious evoking scenes of Egypt and India and even African tribesmen shown emerging from the ages of book in dreamy landscape setting Here Dixs images may puzzle the viewer Each pro vokes questions of setting con tent and detail while at the same time trying to evoke the atmosphere of foreign land and culture Completing the Clarkson show are drawings by John Coburn and Michael Maynard Theyre vastly different in con tentCoburn draws rural schoolhouse while Maynard draws sensuous nude womanbut both offer sharp contrast to the Dix drawings Dix is tight and precise artist carefully completing each im age Coburn and Maynard favor freer and looser style where lines and shadings are used to suggest images rather than sharply define them The contrast is intriguing The Clarkson show of work by Dix Maynard and Coburn con tinues through to the end of the month ORilliA THEATRES cu344mg AT 7L905 ADUII
