Frazier Sees New Era of Creativity
Page 3
The people of today may be entering one of this planet's most creative eras ever known, Bernard Frazier, KU sculptor in residence, said.
Mr. Frazier spoke last night at the KU Fine Arts Forum in the Kansas Union.
He said the era will be world-wide and yet individual in character. This era will be reached when individuals develop their own creative thinking, and this development will not be easy for most people, Mr. Frazier said.
MR. FRAZIER formulated laws of creativity in his speech. He said his opinions are based on soul-searching, thinking and observations.
"Few people are truly creative," he said.
One of the laws holds that creativity is not a product of knowledge, and some people who know little of art history can be more creative than one who is well-versed in the subject. Mr. Frazier said.

"CREATIVITY IS never a satisfaction to the creator," Mr. Frazier said.
"ALL WORTHWHILE art is not necessarily creative, and may occur without apparent reason. Creativity is not subject to pressures from a ruler. It is not ethnic, nor do those who are wealthy have a special hold on it." he said.
The University symphony orchestra will then present the Andante Moderate movement from Brahm's Fourth Symphony.
Other musical participants will be a choral ensemble directed by Mary Jo Smith, a Lawrence graduate student, and the KU Brass Choir led by Instructor Kenneth Bloomquist.
The 36th annual presentation of the School of Fine Arts Christmas Vespers will be Sunday.
Four tableaux which will be presented are "I Saw Three Ships," "Gathering Holly," "The Angel of the Lord" and "Adoration."
About 400 students will participate in the vespers which annually attract more than 6,000 persons.
Vespers Set For Sunday
Performances are set for 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. at Hoch Auditorium. The programs of choral and instrumental music plus living tableaux will be prefaced by carillon music played by Ronald Barnes at 2:45 and 7 p.m.
Tickets Available For Doubleheader
He said one of the problems facing creativity today, as always, is that it is usually not recognized at the time of its creation. Perhaps years later it will be found and attention and tribute paid to it.
THE CANDLE-LIGHTING ceremony will be performed by two Lawrence children, Christopher Boyle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander L. Boyle, and Steven Kelly, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kelly.
"It is a spiritual torture and is motivated by a spiritual force dedicated to improvement. It becomes a feverish attempt to turn something into a brilliant object," he said, "The artist is rarely happy with his work; he notices flaws and finds places he wants to change."
Associate Prof. Clayton Krebhiel will lead the concert choir in five selections. The choir will then join the University symphony orchestra directed by Associate Prof. Robert Baustian in presenting 'Fantasia on Christmas Carols' by Ralph Vaughan Williams with Reinhold Schmidt as brass-baritone soloist.
Students planning to watch the basketball doubleheader Dec. 17 which pits Kansas against North Carolina and Kansas State against Michigan State must pick up reserved seat tickets at Allen Field House.
ID cards must be presented to get the tickets. Each student must pick up his own ticket. The athletic business office will be open for the free exchange Monday through Thursday next week.
