Chauncey
B. Whitehead earned his B.A. from the University of Texas in time
to study art in NY City for two years before World War II. He
joined the Army Air Corps and, during his career in the USAF, attained
the rank of Colonel. In 1964, he returned to NY City to study
art for four years at the Art Students' League and the Academy of
Fine Arts. In 1969, he traveled through Europe, spending six
months as a student at the Academie Grande Chamier in Paris, France.
He has developed a technique known a "subliminal painting."
He places embossed writing on a painting, with the message invisible
except when viewed in exactly the right side light. It is then
easily read by the conscious mind, adding an additional measure of
communication to the painting. Tests show, however, that the
subconscious mind absorbs this writing even without the benefit of
side lighting.
He has written award-winning poetry for years and has published a book
of poems, illustrated with his paintings. He has exhibited in galleries
and painted portraits in NY City, Palm Beach and Fort Worth, as well as
Montgomery. He is past president of the Creative Writers of Montgomery
and a life member of the Art Students' League of NY City.
