ADVERTISEMENT the show the clown as he really isa colorful exhibitionist as splendid as peacock The prints in the show range from somber abstracts to dancing clown figure Many of the abstracts have that ex perimental quality typical of young artist still finding her way with medium The more representational works show better understanding of the relationship between form and content Also impressive is Jason classicallystyled drawing of man thats reminiscent of the European masters Miss Smiths study of the human form shows mature technique and sensitivity remarkable for young artist Less impressive are the large oil portraits and abstracts in cluded in the show Miss Smith seems more comfortable with the human figure than the abstracted patterns of color that fill the larger works
