Artist Finds Greeks Poor, Concerned About Strife
By Karen Lambert
The rewards of spending a fivemonth sabbatical in Greece are still crystallizing for Robert Sudlow, associate professor of drawing and painting.
Prof. Suddlow lived in Kifissia, an Athens suburb, and on the island of Kalymnos from February to July. He spent his sabbatical painting and studying Grecian landscapes.
"I began thinking about what I would say about my trip before returning to America," he said. "I knew people would ask me what I learned there, but Greece is still an open experiment for me. My painting, even what I did

there, will not reflect my experience until I have had time to think about the trip."
"I USUALLY HAD to do my painting where I wouldn't be seen. The people there are very curious, and a crowd always gathered around when I sketched. I usually painted from a window or the back porch." he said.
An exhibition of the paintings he did while in Greece are being exhibited in the KU Museum of Art until Nov. 1.
Prof. Suddow enjoyed visiting the churches and cathedrals in Greece, studying icons and religious paintings. "I marvelled at
the spiritual vitality of the people." he said.
"THE GREEKS ARE very poor. Some of them live in the most extreme poverty," he said. "But they are not a despondent or broken people, even though they see their rulers living in wealth."
"The Greeks are very warm and hospitable. They are beautiful people, receiving a stranger warmly with no trace of suspicion."
He said mainlanders are very concerned about the cloud of civil war hanging over Cyprus.
"THE STUDENTS AND intellectuals are especially disturbed," he said. "They regard the conflict as a holy war and there is much bitterness against the Turks."
Talk, English Debate Scheduled by KU-Y
Everywhere in Greece Prof. Suddow found President Kennedy was revered and loved. "This feeling seems to be universal," he said. "They are scared of Goldwater" he added.

"It is very difficult for an artist to explain what he is trying to convey in a landscape painting," he said. "The word which best describes what I try to convey is mood. When I look at a landscape, I try to understand my relation to the landscape and become an integral part of it," he explained.

Hubert, I know you were born over a drugstore, but does that make you think you know how to prescribe a piza recipe?
"It's hard for an artist to explain how he feels about what he is painting. There are so many misconceptions regarding the words an artist uses," he said. "Just saying what I feel doesn't always get the point across. One has to know how an artist feels and thinks before he can understand the artist."
Prof. Sudlow has won prizes for his work since 1946 and is repre-
