THE LEFT LANE
Solve the art clues

Advertiser Staff and News Services

The state Art Museum at Richards and South Hotel streets will open next month. In anticipation, we're sponsoring a Who's That Artist? quiz. Those who correctly answer all five questions published here this week will be entered in a drawing for tickets to the first tour, 9:30 a.m. Nov. 3. Send all five answers in a single envelope, fax document or e-mail by Oct. 30. (Do not send the answers one at a time!)

Today's quiz question: Recognized as one of Hawai'i's most distinguished artists, this painter was born in Paris, educated at the Ecole de Beaux-Arts and, in 1921, moved to Mexico, where he worked with Diego Rivera, Jose Orozco and David Siqueros. In 1949, he moved here to create a fresco at Bachman Hall at the University of Hawai'i, and later became a UH professor. Who is this artist?

Mail to: P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu, HI 96813. Fax: 525-8055. E-mail: islandlife@honoluluadvertiser.com.

Include name and daytime phone number. We will call if you win.

Answers Nov. 3 in the Island Life section.

Folk man returns

THOMPSON

Underground folk artist Richard Thompson will return for his first Honolulu concert in 2 1/2 years at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 23 at the Doris Duke at the Academy theater. Revered by a clannish and devoted fan base (including David Byrne, REM and Bonnie Raitt) for his darkly comic songwriting and magnificently understated fret work, Thompson has quietly crafted his career and canon on the fringes of the music industry for three decades.

Tickets, at $30, go on sale Saturday at the Honolulu Academy of Arts and Tower Records. Information: 532-8700.

Colonial adventure

Television has discovered the power of experiencing a historical period; now some O'ahu children can do the same. The Honolulu Academy of Arts, with aid from Punahou Girl Scout Troop 688, is hosting a Colonial Camp Out, an overnight event for students in grades 4, 5 and 6 (ages 9 to12), from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. Nov. 1 and 2.

With inspiration from the academy's exhibit "Art and Life in Colonial America," students will immerse themselves in early America. Cost is $40, including meals, activities, supplies. Reservations: 532-8726.

Correction: Musician Richard Thompson performs at Doris Duke at The Academy on Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. The wrong date was listed in a previous version of this Left Lane.
