Colored beads in the hands of an artistic Nigerian often end up in vivid geometric patterns reminiscent of North American Indian beadwork. re) Examples of parallel develop- ment of artistic expression in widely separated parts of the world abound at the first Com- monwealth Arts Festival, a 16- day, four - city jamboree of music, drama, dance, poetry and visual art assembled from 24 Commonwealth countries, It runs Sept. 15 to Sept. 30. One of the most striking simi- larities. is between contempor- ary arts from five Common- wealth countries in the foyer of Royal Festival Hall, the Eskimo art in a show called Treasures from the Commonwealth across the Thames in the Royal Academy. A sculpture in soapstone by an artist named Zindoga of the desia might well have come from Rankin Inlet on Hudson Bay, but for the subject. Zin- doga's hen and chickens, how- ever, are reminiscent of seals and pups peratures. --CP Photo artists. USE SAME MATERIAL Frank McEwen, a_ bearded Briton who is director of the Rhodesian N ational Gallery Workshop School in Salisbury, agrees on the similarities be- tween the soapstone work of his charges and that of Canadian Eskimos. "Surprising you should re- mark on that," he said in an interview, "though not so sur- prising, I suppose, from a Ca- nadian. "T know Eskimo art and the comparison with the stuff my fellows are doing has struck me since we started the workshop} eight years ago. "Tt may be the material--our| fellows mine their own soap" stone--and the animal subject} matter that produce similar re-| sults by two such different peo-| 4|Ple." | McEwen, an artist who spent much of his life in France be- fore moving to Salisbury, helped) organize an exhibition of French art for the Toronto Art Gallery in 1951 and wrote the catalogue for it. It was then that he became familiar with. Eskimo art and was attracted to the older carv- ings, "but not this stuff the Eskimos are mass producing Natives In Africa Carve Like Eskimos Lodzi tribe of Southern Rho-) jaffinity between t done by Eskimo) jresented eyes as Spirals." Yh IIE lal 1 ay w ate pte. ei es ep a Bi atin hme ie McEwen considers the temp- tation to mass-produce and be- come repetitive' the biggest problem among the artists in his workshop. Most are persuaded to resist temptation "but a few deteriorate once they have sold a few pieces." The director said his school is not really a school at all, pro- viding a minimum of guidance, stressing freedom and doing lit- tle more than providing materi- als and acting as agent for sales. The workshop sold more than 1,000 pieces of art last year for about $75,000, keeping 25 per cent of the take to maintain facilities and provide materials. The artists, painting in oils or carving soapstone, granite, mar- ble or wood, are mostly tribes- men or town Africans who drift into the workshop with little Can | Afford No To Buy? Is theré a new home in your future? If you are trying to de- cide whether or not you can afford this major step perhaps you should review your family's space requirements and your present financial condition and prospects, You may find after taking a long look at the situation that the question is not 'Can I afford to buy a home?" but rather "Can I afford not to buy a home?" This is an opportune time to become a few home owner or to upgrade your present living accommodation, Once again, the federal government's Win- ter Incentive Program is oper- ating and this $500 bonus, com- bined with the most generous financing terms ever offered Ca- nadian home buyers and the ex- cellent home values on display to know that most economists feel that the price of a house should not exceed 2% times the' annual income of a purchaser. This rule of thumb, say the economists, should maintain a margin of safety. While the initial downpayment may mean a bit of a sacrifice for you at this time, it repre- sents a move towards financial security. Looking at it practic- ally, rents and living costs may go up -- and probably will -- To Be Factor LAGOS (Reuters)--The price the Nigerian farmer receives for his cocoa next year will be a key factor in the forthcoming western Nigeria regional elec- tions unless polling takes place before the new season opens. Most of Nigeria's cocoa is grown in the western region, and at the moment the regional marketing board is paying the farmer $569 a ton, : The same ton of cocoa may bring as littie as $306 on the world market. The western re- gion government stands the loss, helped by loans from Ni- geria's central bank. Moreover, a further $105 or so a ton has to be added to the farmer's price for freight and middlemen's commission but mortgage payments on your home won't be increased. This means that a family man may budget his basic shelter costs for years ahead. | 1 MAY FIGHT LONDON | TORONTO (CP)--Irving Un-| german, manager of heavy-| weight George Chuvalo of Tor-| onto, said Tuesday the Cana-) dian champion is anxious to meet Brian London, the British champ, Ungerman was com-| these days make a new house an attractive proposition. If you are wondering how much you can afford to invest in more than a desire to express themselves, "These people, mainly Lodzi, have no tradition of visual art at all," McEwen said, 'The tribes had music, but no paint- ing or carving. "T try to be careful not to impose a European tradition on them, either. Then they work completely free of any limita- tions of tradition. "That may ange 4 explain the ne soapstone | carving in Salisbury and the) original Eskimo carvers, who also were free of any alien in-| fluences. Apparently that style of carving is the basic result of primitive artists working in that! material." | McEwen pointed to another example of cultural parallelism, a carving in wood of a larger- than-lifesize man's head with spiral eyes. | "Spiral eyes are a character: | ristic of primitive art that ap- pears independently all around the world, Yet the man who sculpted this head, an untutored chap named Likoto, could never have known that American primitives or Asian natives rep- | | || CUSTOM-MADE DRAPES | HOWARD'S | 926 Simcoe St. N. now--airport art, I call it."
