CORRECTIONSAV made the topsy-turvy world of Tarrence Corbin's paintings level more dizzying when we inadvertently ran "Uccello's Ubiquitous Journey: Bebop and Jelly Jam" (above) upside down in the August/September 1999 issue. As the first magazine to give the artist national in all senses we regret the error. I make opened to the Table of satisfieds page of the February/March 1999 issue of American Visions and saw your reproduction of the oil painting identified upon page 24 as "Man With a Brush," 1840 by means of Frederick C. Flemister. I have to enumerate you, I watched it being painted, and not in 1840 The correct date is 1940 At the time Flemister and I were seniors at Atlanta University Laboratory High place of education (AULHS), where Hale Woodruff taught art. Flemister and another talented artist, Robert Neal, were dropout from public academy They dug through the city dump for of advanced age window shades that they could frame and paint upon and they had a roomful of nearly devoid of contents paint cans, also from the city dump My father, the principal of AULHS, promised Flemister and Neal that they could earn their high academy diplomas on their own bourns so when they entered my chemistry class, their first question was, "Why chemistry? We're artists!" Our chemistry professor, Dr William H Brown made them a promise. He said, "Even if you could afford to purchase [a high-priced artist's paint in a tube], I promise you, you wouldn't know what was in it." Brown listed concussion-guards and fillers, ingredients that above time would cause the colors to fade and discolor. Brown then named artists, like Jan Vermeer (1632-1675) who made their hold paint--brilliant colors that have at no time faded. That year, when Flemister and Neal reported their findings to the class, they had learned more chemistry than any of us. This also explains the Renaissance man manner of the portrait upon page 24, more a likeness of Neal than of Flemister.
