It's a figure conscious spring Photo by Ken Lauber By Stephanie Crocitto and Karen Sue Howard FASHION EDITORS FEMININE, CHIC and FIT...the prominent three (3) words that categorize this uupcoming season's fashion array to perfection. Retailers nationwide are applauding the form-following silhouette and neatly pulled-in waist that characterize this season's "madames de fashion"!!! Bareness adds drama while details such as wide belts, shoulder padded sleeves and peplums play up the season's figure-conscious moods iri vibrant and graphic colors. Lux fabrics that cling to the well-shaped body with great fit is what Spring '86 is all about. Clean, uncomplicated dressing with high, revealing leg and thigh vents, along with bizarre collars and necklines add BRAVO to March, April and May. Figure-shaping cuts, reveal that well-toned body with contours at the hips and waist that most women dream of and others spent long winter hours to acheive. Subtle variations have distinguished the spared-down and fitted fashions of tommorrow. The look emphasizes basic ~ but by no means boring -- because of the modem assembled techniques used on separate peices. It is non-excessive, utilizing very little ornamentation and makeup; keeping in touch with the familiar cliche'.JOO MUCH CAN BE TOO MUCH!!! Remember this year's definition of Spring: The season of shape with an upbeat mood of body conscious and provocative attitudes. Keep this in mind every time you reach into your closet with the intent of making an impression and leaving one behind!!!! by Gordon Grant STAFF WRITER Reflected light off the Belk Building's wall of windows enters Robert Godfrey's office, and illuminates a painting above the desk of the head of the WCU Art Department. The painting is a large and predominantly dark study of ice skaters on a pond at dusk. In the foreground, a skater-a man-with an odd look of fear or alarm, or perhaps just out of balance, thrusts an open hand toward the viewer. The hand, palm out, fingers outstretched, seems so far in the foreground that it appears almost disembodied, hanging in space above Godfrey's head as he talks about himself, his art, and the departments' new directions. Godfrey is a modern artist: he lives in the world we live in, and he paints visions of that world. For many, the phrase "modern art" conjures up images of bright colors, geometric abstractions, spattered canvasses, or Warhol's tinted rows of Marilyn Monroe's lips. The reaction of the average gallery visitor to these is often defensive incomprehension or contemptuous laughter: "That's not art!" Whatever place history assigns to the 20th century abstraction, Robert Godfrey will not be included. His paintings are figurative, with recognizable objects, people and landscapes, and he is well known and regarded for what he does. "Robert Godfrey," wrote David L. Shirey in the New York Times,"does landscapes with vast contours and mysterious auras...(He) proves that it is possible to do engaging works within a somewhat conventional framework." Ruth Bass of ARTNEWS was also impressed: "These are engrossing works, rooted in direct observation, yet never losing a sense of mystery. There isa sense of the intangible, of contained passion...that imbues the world of everyday experience with something greater than the sum of its parts." Godfrey bears this sort of critical praise lightly; he manages to be a serious, creative artist and art theorist while retaining a self- depreciating humor. He is unabashed about the romanticism in his works, but does not consider himself a Romantic. "I don't fit in to a school of painting;" he said "my paintings are pretty subtle and too personal in their expression. I like sentiment Marimbist Gordon Stout to be featured A day of percussion The 1986 North Carolina Day of Percussion will be held on the campus of Western Carolina University on Thursday, March 20. The featured clinician-recitalist will be marimba virtuoso Gordon Stout. Gordon Stout graduated from the Eastman School of Music, where he studied percussion with John Beck and composition with Samuel Adler and Warren Benson and recieved the Performers Certificate. His percussion training began with James Salmon and Robert Ramsdell. He is currently Assistant Professor of Percussion at Ithaca College, Ithaca, N.Y., and Educational Director, Marimba Clinician/Recitalist for The World of Peripole, Division of the Bergerault Co., Percussion Contemporaines of France. As one of the world's leading marimba soloists, he has performed and persented clinics at over 100 college and university locations throughout the United States and Canada, and has appeared at Four International Percussive Arts Society Conventions since 1978. In May of 1983, he appeared in concert throughout France and in Germany, Belgium and Holland, being described as "the Rubinstein of all aspects of the marimba," and possessing "transcendental virtuosity." He is more published and recorded than any American marimbist in history. Also featured during the day will be a display of antique percussion instruments presented by Greg Wilson of Clyde, North Carolina. The Western Carolina University Percussion Ensemble will also perform. The Day of Percussion is being coordinated by NCPAS Division Representative Mario Gaitano, who ii currently an instructor in our Department of Music.

I'm aware of that line, and even like to play with coming close to it. I'm interested in how you communicate images and ideas on a flat surface." He works primarily in oils, though recently he has been experimenting with glass plate printing at Harvey Littleton's studio in Spruce Pine, N.C. In this process, an image is etched or blasted onto a glass plate. Thus textured, the image picks up ink and can create a print when pressed on paper. Godfrey has gotten as complex as using four plates with seven colors, making repeated pressings to manipulate effects. This work is concurrent with, not a replacement for, his oil paintings, and it is a good example of Godfrey's ability to keep occupied in multiple projects. Presently, in addition to his works in oils and prints, he is writing articles on artfor the Asheville paper, preparing catalogues for exhibitions, travelling to New York and around North Carolina for various confrences on art in the universities, and, of course, teaching at WCU. He would,"liketo try sculpture-it passes my mind," but confesses he hasn't gotten around to rt yet. Apparently, he has been keeping up this pace for some time. In the late sixties, Godfrey recieved a prestigious award, the Fulbright-Hays, and went to Denmark for study at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen. He has lectured and taught at universities and galleries in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and New York. From 1979 to 1982 he was also Director of the Artist's Choice Museum in New York City. So how, then, did he choose to come to Cullowhee? This is a frequently asked student question about a professor's impressive credentials. Let it be said here that Godfrey is but one of many talented people who teach here, and articles such as thisare intended to reveal some of them to a perhaps disbelieving student body. "I wanted to come here. I felt I was looking for some new energy- which I found-and a chance to work out some more of my own ideas. I liked the faculty. People here are receptive to the ideas I present and take them seriously. Commercial artists, and studio artists are not the only people breaking new ground. Art schools and programs in the universities generate a great deal of creativity- and I don't just mean the great Photo by Ken Lauber urban universities of NewYork and elsewhere. There are good things occurring here in Cullowhee. We have our first full time photography instructor-Cathy Griffin-who did graduate work at Yale, and who is offering excellent courses. Bill Buchanan is in charge of the sculpture concentration, and will soon have a new bronze-casting facility that will really increase the capabilities of students and professsors in that medium. Forour graduate program, we are holding our first Seminar in Contemporary Art, to be held in Asheville. Also, I expect to increse exhibition possibilities for the faculty, and for the students. Much to do." He seems, despite his hectic schedule, to enjoy his position and his home at WCU; it is interesting to speculate on the nature of the works he may produce here. With a landscape such as the mountains around Cullowhee, and his combination of technical skills and romantic sensibilities, one would hope that Godfrey will continue to produce-and inspire students to produce a personal and aesthetically satisfying contribution to contemporary art.
