BY JAMES G. DEANE

The youthfully vivacious
musical personality which
the tall Texan. Van Cliburn.
through fortunate circum-
stances has already estab-
lished so vividly In the minds
Of many usually skeptic citi-
zens is now stamped on q
new record.
This is a reproduction OF
the performance OF the
Rachmaninofi third concerto
with which Cliburn partially
asserted his now celebrated
return from conquest in So
Wet Russia in a concert at
Carnegie Hall.
The concert, which took
place on May 10, 1858. as
many normally non-musical
newspaper readers are aware
had substantial extramusical
overtones. having with the
trail Of events Immediately
preceding it now become a
part of political as well as
cultural history. There is no
question Of Cliburn's genuine
claim to purely musical ad-
miration, however. as has
already been demonstrated
locally. And no one can be-
grudge the factors which
have made 1t a public love
affair, for even Cliburn's
young professional COMPETE
tors - as aghast as they
may be - stand to gain.

Berkmun's People

Jack Berkman's esthetic
interests are his fellow man
and woman. His tenth one
man show, at the Artists
Mart. 1851 Wisconsin avenue
NV, introduces 16 char
acters in as many paintings;
his people are lone wolves
and each Is the sole occupant
of hts or her canvas. This
Washington artist has struck
a salutary blow for alone
ness; but not a new one.
for he was painting generally
single figures long before the
idea of crowds was extolled
as something good in itself.
Mr.. Berk,ian is an express
sionist, inclined to present
people elongated and attenu-
ated. Some are depicted
Enthusiastically: but all are
painted in abstract colors.
He has a special tenderness
for children and young peo-
pie, for he nearly always
invests them with appeal.
whereas he dips his brush in
acid for some of his older
sitters.
Exuding a certain wistful
charm are the Flute Player"
the Girl with a Guitar" the
little ballerina in First Posi-
ton" and the delightful
Girl With Cat" Completely
devoid Of charm are the
formidable old woman in
red; the gross gourmand
feasting on Fish In the
Afternoon; and the lndomit-
able old lady with a neck
as long as those by Modig-
liani.
A native Washingtonian,
Mr.. Berkman was also edu-
Gated here. He now lives in
Alexandria, is chief project
planner for the National
Capital Housing Authority.
He exhibits regularly in
group shows. and has won
eight awards, most of them
first prizes. (Through June
