South Dartmouth painter Roger Kizik doesn’t color within the lines. And probably never did.
Seventy-five years ago, he was born in Boston and raised in nearby West Medford. His mother was a learned and devoted opera fan. His father managed a sausage factory, all the while enjoying a parallel career as a gifted saxophonist in a dance and polka band dubbed The Modernistics.
Kizik acknowledged that the poles of “ethnic” and classical musical disciplines were an everyday fact and that those sounds still resonate deep within. But the music gene eluded him.
Childhood visits to the Museum of Fine Arts and the newly opened Decordova Museum offered an array of possibilities as to what art might actually be, well beyond comic books and the illustrations on the Saturday Evening Post. For him, museums garnered a kind of social and cultural fascination.
