Authur Britt On July 3, 2002, I attended an art exhibit dedicated to the work of Authur Britt. The program was held in the Leon Loard Gallery. The exhibition focused on Britt’s life and how he chose to become a painter. Authur Britt had this to say, “Art to me is data gathered and recorded of events, expressed in my own individual way. This I believe is the way art should be.” The purpose of this event was to show and give recognition to a promising African American artist who was good at his work. I believe that this attempt was carried out splendidly. The exhibit had a great representation of his works not to mention his life. But the paintings that really captured my eyes were the ones untitled. I feel Britt chose not to name some of his paintings because he wanted the audience to bring their own interpretation auther, britt, art, black, exhibit, should, great, believe, because, work, way, wanted, say, representation, put, paintings, own, one, life, know, feel, chose, been, becomes, artist, about, works, visitors, untitled, two, town, thoughts, though, think, things, therefore, splendidly, skeptics, shows, show, sheet, setbacks, seeing, relation, recorded, recognition, really, purpose, public, promising
