Surrealist Paintings - On View in USD Library By NAOMI BAKER EVENING TRIBUNE Arr Editor Surrealistic paintings by the Rev. Patrick X. Nidorf, an Au- gustinian priest, are on public view this month in the San Diego College for Men Library, University of San Diego, "Most of my paintings are oot religious in the strict or liturg- ic~ sense," he said, "They are moral paintings, portraying life as it exists, with the hunger, pain and love in man's soul. " He uses his art to express supernatural truths, to evoke con- scious feelings of awareness of the nature of life and the here- after, In "Who Is My Brother?" he places figures symbolically in limitless space. Geometric forms in "The Many Facets of the Turlle Shell" add a supernatural aspect to the human condi• tion. "The fantastic scope of emotional delineation," he said "the subtle variations which seem to distill themselves into the hu- man nature are all in the realm of reality, with its beauty and chaos." Father Nidorf, 38, adds painting to a full schedule of leach- ing, c~unseling and religious duties. Be teaches at St. Augus- tme High School and also performs parish duties Sundays, His days run from 5: 15 a.m. to at least 11 p.m. The College for Men's Library is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays; 8 a.m. to 5 p,m, Fridays, and 1 to 9 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
