Seymour Faurot. De- picting types of Alaskan natives, tha three pastels are part of a series to be undertaken by Faurot. The woman depicted in the group is typical of the Southeast Alaska native, while the two men are rep- resentative of the Barrow type of Eskimo. Material for the portraits was gathered from the fine photo- graphic and composite collection of Lr. George Dale of the Alaska Na- tive Servize and Robert Sanford of the Federal Bureau cf Mines. While the work on display is not for sale at the present time, Faurot is plan- ning a one-man exhibit of his art accomplishments sometime in spring. His portrait series will include twelve examples each from three different sections of the Territory— the Northern Alaska type, the Ko- buck Valley and Central Alaska na- tive, and the Southeast Indian type which portrays the Raven clan of east Alaska. Faurot, who is chairman of the Alaska Arts and Crafts Studio, plans to locate permanently in Ju- neau and is especially interested in the opening of a studio work-shop that will embrace all types of arts and crafts activitics. This particu- ar group project will include both adult and individual instruction for juveniles, intermediates, and adults. Faurot came to Junsau last Oc- tober with his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. George Mat- son, the former a member of the Veterans Administration staff. While aboard the Princess Louise n the trip north, the artist did everal outstanding oils on marine :cenes inspired by the waters arcund Quzen Charlotte Sound and Dixon Entrance. One of these will be shown at the coming Arts and Crafts Exhibit this month in the Scottish Rite Temple. He is contemplating a new inno- vation in non-objective painting at the present time and plans to en- ter this at the Exhibit also. The paintings, which is completely ab- stract, attempts to portray a mood instead of an actual subject. Faurot, who was formerly engag- ed in free lance architectural work in Idaho, attended both the Uni- versity of Idaho and the Univer- sity of Washington in addition to Cornish School of Art in Eeattle. He also studied under many such standing artists as Mark Toby and Mrs. Betty McCraight Morrison.
