The display, entitled “Buck Skins,” is the work of Dr. Frank E. Smith, associate professor of fine arts at Howard University in Washington, D.C. The paintings are distinctly black oriented and, in the words of Dr. Smith, address the African-American ex perience "in content, form, and spirit.” “The paintings represent an attempt to visualize concepts of music, self, people, and life,” he says. The style of the paintings gives the observer another clue to their ethnic origin. The paintings, which would fit into the modern art category, are filled with geometric patterns that remind one of native African works of art. The colors are also reminiscent of Africa. The bright hues bring to mind Nigerian women in their long robes and all faces are shaded either a dark tan or a deep ebony. The display, though, is not for blacks alone to enjoy. Dr. Smith is a captivating artist who uses fascinating methods and an unusual wit to keep the viewer in terested. The work “Burst Into Life” uses both these techniques. It is an acrylic-fiber painting made up mostly of acrylic paint but highlighted with stit ching and pieces of cloth. The theme of the work is particularly clever, tracing the birth of Dr. Smith in a circular pattern.
