Folk Art is a wonderfully
unpretentious and
uninhibited art form. It isn’t
stuffy or academic and can
be anything from a life-sized
Scottish piper to a miniature
pair of oxen pulling a cart.

Joe Sleep, whose paintings
depict a colorful innocent
childlike look at the world,
used to be a carney with the
circus. When time for retire-

discovered to his dismay he
was ineligible for a pension,
so he came to depend on
painting for his income.

be in this show, he has placed
a carved heart around her
neck to show his devotion.

represented at the current ex-
hibition at the Vancouver Art
Gallery ‘From the Heart’’.

During the duration of the
show a film, ‘‘From_ the
Heart’’ will be shown at the
Houston-Farris Gallery. This
documentary was made by
Donnalu Wigmore, of the
Canadian Broadcasting Cor-
poration. This film’s title was
borrowed by the Museum of
Man in Ottawa for their folk
art show currently at the
Vancouver Art Gallery.
