This, our Thirty-Third
Art Festival
And it is again my pleasure to bid you
welcome. May the fog and wind absent
themselves and the sun provide us favored
treatment.
Our annual review of the creative life of
the Bay Area has always provided a casual
friendly ambience. A place to savor the
arts, watch the public and meet old friends.
An exciting and interesting urban setting
for a remarkable market.
The Festival itself is a relative constant,
but the exhibits are always as fresh and new
and as changing as is the world of art—
the world of the spirit. It is refreshing, it is
educational, it may be adventurous . . . and
it is always a joy.
eartu welcome

The Art Commission is celebrating the 33rd Annual Arts Festival with AWARDS of HONOR
to Jacques Schnier, Sculptor, and writer Herbert Cold.
HERBERT GOLD, Novelist
AWARD OF HONOR EXHIBITION, 3rd FLOOR, MAIN BRANCH,
SAN FRANCISCO PGBUC UBRARY
The outstanding cultural contribution of Gold's novels, The Great
American Jackpot (1969), Waiting for Cordelia (1977), and
Fathers (1962) are among the most distinguished prose written in
the last decade. The Bay Area environ appears to be a stimulant to
the creative mind of the writer. Herbert Gold enjoys a faithful
audience as a novelist and as a distinguished essayist.
Examples of his books and memorabilia will be on view through
October 26.
JACQGES SCHNIER, Sculptor
AWARD OF HONOR EXHIBITION, "CAPRICORN ASGNDER"
GALLERY, 165 GROVE ST.
The vitality of Schnier's works are a testimonial to this distinguished
artist, whose achievement is unique among contemporary artists. His
large, sparkling, crystal acrylic sculptures, absorbing and reflecting
the light, are among the original achievements of this master and an
inspiration to his peers. The vision and breadth of his conception has
enriched and enlarged the horizons of three-dimensional art.
We are pleased to present a cross-section of the works produced by
Jacques Schnier in the last decade— an exquisite commentary of a
humanistic thinker.
The exhibition will be on view through October 26.
Jacques Schnier— "Indora" 1975, carved crystal acrylic, 14" x 5V2"

HERBERT GOLD
From The Heart of the Artichoke
My father, his horny hands black with sulphur, lit a cigar with a brief, modest, but
spectacular one-handed gesture, his thumbnail crr-racking across the blue-
headed kitchen match; when he described his first job in America, selling water to
the men building the skyscrapers, teetering across the girders for fifteen cents a
pail, green flecks fumed and sailed in his yellowish Tartar eyes; he peeled an
artichoke with both hands simultaneously, the leaves flying toward his mouth,
crossing at the napkin politely tucked at the master juggler's collar, until with a
groan that was the trumpet of all satisfaction he attained the heart; he— but he was
a man of capabilities, such feats apart.
As my mother said of him before they married, "He's well-off. Lots of personality."
Older than the other women of her family, she used the word Lvell-off'm a primitive
sense, to signify a general relationship with the world, not substracting from the
term all but its usual financial refrain: "Well-off very, he's a Buick . . ." But she took
the word from Aunt Sarah and Aunt Ethel; it's important that the vocabulary
derives from economic security, to be extended outward only by an exceptional
act of vitality. We, my brothers and 1, could never eat enough for her. "Don't
aggravate me. Eat, Eat," she would say.
"We already ate," I pointed out.
"But look at your father!"
An excerpt from The Heart of the Artichoke. Reprinted from Loue and Like, by Herbert Gold. First

BAY AREA PHOTOGRAPHERS -"Second Time Around"
Bay Area Photographers is a non-profit organization dedicated to expressing
photographically the heritage, growth and daily life of our Bay Area through
group projects. This year's theme illustrates the new trend in our society towards
re-using things of the past: re-cycling, the restoration of old buildings and the
creation of new uses for old objects.
BLANCHE PHILUPS HOWARD
The brilliantly conceived and hammered sculptures by Blanche Phillips Howard
are surging from the void with a primeval life. Her mastery and control of the
brutal matter is balanced with the mystery and sensuousity of the form. The high
reliefs and fragments achieve a particularly strong impact with the dreamy
qualities of discovery.
We are honored to present these works by an outstanding pioneer sculptor— an
original contribution to this year's Event.
CAUFORNIA SOCIETY OF PRINTMAKERS- "Visual Signature"
The "Visual Signature" of an artist is that look which is uniquely his or her own.
The public is encouraged to focus on this aspect of the creative process by
comparing their impressions with the artist's own statement. The prints exhi-
bited in this group include a variety of directions, styles and techniques emphas-
izing the rich diverseness found in local contemporary printmaking.
GRAPHIC ARTS WORKSHOP
A group exhibition of original prints by members of the Workshop, based on the
theme of the elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
