$10,000 Cleveland Art Prize Goes to Religious Artist, Douglas Maz Utter
CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
By Donald Rosenberg
OHIO---Expressing himself is a two-pronged joy for Douglas Max Utter. Admired as the creator of layered and provocative paintings depicting everything from religious figures and landscapes to family members, the Cleveland native also has piped in generously on visual-arts subjects as a writer and critic. "Writing focuses on what I'm thinking about," says Utter, who has penned more than 450 articles for publications including The Plain Dealer. "Painting has an unconscious that's far more elaborate." For his distinguished contributions to the arts in Northeast Ohio, Utter is the 2013 winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Cleveland Arts Prize. [link]
