FOUR FILM EVENINGS DESMOND HELMORE PAINTING AUGUST 27 - SEPT. 16 PHILIPPA HUTCHISON PAINTING AUGUST9 - 26

The CSA and W E . A. have pooled their resources to show four screenings in colour of the B B C . civilisation series. The first of these. The Great Thaw was held 25th June. The second."

THE HERO AS ARTIST" Sir Kenneth Clark's personal interpretation of

Renaissance art centred on Papal Rome in the early sixteenth century and filmed in the gardens and courtyard of the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel and the rooms decorated for the Pope by Raphael. Selected works of Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci are shown.

"They add something new to the European spirit something that neither antiquity nor the great civilizations of India and China had ever dreamed of." Clark. Will be held on 23rd July 8pm, the third.

"THE LIGHT OF EXPERIENCE" Seventeenth century art and thought. "In the seventeenth century light passed through a

crucial stage, the invention of the lens was giving it a new range and power and yet the scientific approach to experience ends in poetry and I suppose that this is due to an almost mystical rapture in the perception of light." Clark. Will be held August 27th 8pm, and the fourth.

SKIN OF OUR TEETH" The ideas and values which for Sir Kenneth Clark give

meaning to the term Western Civilisation. He examines the Dark Ages, the six centuries following the collapse of the Roman Empire. Travelling from Byzantine Ravenna to the Celtic Hebrides, from the Norway of the Vikings to Charlemagne's Chapel at Aachen, the extraordinary story of how European thought, and art, were saved by "the skin of our teeth". Will be held September 24th 8pm. The commentary is by Kenneth Clark.

PETER BRUCE PAINTING AUGUST 20 - SEPT. 3

Born 1953. Says: "In retrospect my last exhibition was a definition

of values and limits. In this, my second exhibition, I am working with these values and within these limits.

Everybody is invited to the opening on Tuesday 19th August at 7.30pm.

Born Takapau. Canterbury University School of Art D.F.A.Hons. One-man shows Napier, Palmerston North, 1964,

1965. Three-man show London, 1968. Benson and Hedges Exhibition, 1972. Work in public and private collections N.Z.: Private

collections England and Gemany. Says: "Aware that Western civilisation over the last

two thousand years has been terrorised by Euclid and all the pseudo-problematical dichotomies that follow him e.g. man versus nature, abstract versus concrete etc., I have attempted to get to the bottom of this by taking the objective cubist line and extending beyond it into fantasy, a less rigid way of looking at things. This latter direction is preferable to the manual circus act of expressionism, and in this respect I have recently become interested in the work of Max Ernst and the post-futurist work of Carra. This may show in the paintings, in which I mainly use the Sumner and Coromandel areas as jumping off points, or it may not.

Born Christchurch. Diploma Fine Arts, Canterbury University. Group shows and one man shows in N.Z. and

overseas. Says: "Direction started in Sea Edge painting, Artists

Garden Exhibition 1974. Rather than being an illustration of the Maori Creation Myth, the paintings use myth as a starting point in an exploration of the interaction of all the elemental forces, earth, air, fire and particularly water an interaction existing in the continuous processes of growth and change we still observe today."
