Ted Snell obituary: Luminary nurtured artists in all spaces
If you want to start an argument, try suggesting what constitutes art and what is craft, and what is possibly neither. Ted Snell did not spend much time on such never-ending debates. He was simply passionate about the possibilities that art in all its infinite variety can bring to people’s lives.
He enthused night and day. He wrote nine books as well as countless articles. His mind transcended boundaries. In a comment piece he touched, for instance, on a cellist’s haunting performance amid the rubble of Ukraine; he nudged readers towards WA history; he responded positively whenever The West Australian newspaper invited him to comment on arts funding from Canberra and less contentious issues.
