This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| The following was submitted as a bulletin by Michael Clark:
Dr. Homer H. Clark was my uncle. He passed away on May 6, 2010 in Salt Lake City. He was an artist in every sense of the word. In the musical world, he was noted for the making of fine stringed instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, etc. He won international competitions for the outstanding finely carved violins and violas. Noted for their rich tones and artistically and carefully crafted bodies, many reknown concert artists play his instruments today.
Uncle Homer was an impressionistic artist who saw color and excitement wherever he looked. His works are strong with color and have a sense of motion or rhythm. His work has a modern look and feel to it--he was fascinated by lines, shapes and forms as they interacted with color. His color pallet was bold and he never hesitated to "lay it down on paper". Color expressed texture and his emotional movement. That is the reason for his many strokes with the brush which give vibrancy to his work.
My Uncle was a medical doctor--a pathologist by formal training. He worked at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City and established pathology labs in Salt Lake City. I knew Uncle Homer as a brilliant man. He was a true "Renaisance Man" in every sense of the title. He loved music, was an accomplished artist and was a sensitive and caring man. He loved to eat and enjoyed traveling. He was a kind and gentle person--not easily understood by all, but nonetheless a learned person, ever striving to improve himself. He knew no limits and often tackled the impossible. His artistry, skill and creative abilities superscede anyone I know and I think of him as a modern "Leonardo Di Vinci". I offer this in simple tribute to his life with fond remembrance and best wishes to his family. A great soul has passed.
He may have signed some of his works "Remoh" (Homer, backwards). He did travel to Europe, Mexico and Central America painting. He had an extensive collection of watercolors and was close friends with many artists. He introduced me to Milford Zornes and he worked with him in Southern Utah.
