about every picture and 1t
comes from the deliberate
use of the materials. The
artist is a very dry painter.
The surface of the canvas
often gives the impression Of
ancient rock, weathered by
rain and snow, scraped by
life long gone. On these
surfaces may be dimly seen
old scratchings, made, it is
suggested. by the bones
themselves, when they had
flesh and will and tools in
hand.
Old-Style Pigment
The colors are drained, the
opposite Of juicy. They al
most give the impression of
being the old-style dry pig
ment, laid on with just
enough oil to hold them to-
gether, not enough to absorb
their identity as part of the
earth.
So, in these earth tones of
brown, black, gray, in this
scratchy texture of old walls,
crumbling masonry. the art
list composes his bony forms:
Dead People," "Skinless,"
"Stone Woman, "Joint," are
some of the titles. "Natural
Speed" is apparently ifonic;
the bones are surrounded by
the conventional nimbus Of
a moving object, but the
speed is that Of decomposi-
ton.
Oddly enough the draw
ingS bear only the most dis
tant relation to the paint
ings They are almost blue
prints, or notes Of intention;
they have none Of the feel
ing, none Of the effect. Of the
paintings.
Theater Masks
Also at the Pan American
Union, in the smaller gallery
downstairs, is a collection of
about 20 masks, the work of
an Argentinian, Hector Uber-
tall. His masks are made
for use and are used in the
theater in the Argentine.
They are, therefore, q kind
Of ancillary art and there is
occasionally a touch of the
threatrical about the work.
Yet some of these blank,
open mouthed faces are
lovely to look at, evoking at
a glance the basic human
types they were intended to
adorn. The most. Sympa-
thetic are probbaly Antigone
and Joan Of Arc. The most
interesting are two nom
utilitarian abstract masks,
one in turquoise, one in vio-
let. both suggesting what
can be done with an ancient
art form rarely used today.

Refugees Learning Instant English

Two refugee Cuban children,
who narrowly missed being sent
to Moscow because Of their ex-
ceptional scholastic ability. to-
day are learning instant
English" at the Villa Mercy
summer school near Bethesda.
The school. held each sum-
mer by the Sisters of Mercy at
their new generalate at 10000
Kendale road, has five Cuban
youngsters among the several
dozen foreign speaking children
who are taking a quick course
in English to prepare them for
American schools this fall.
The two girls, II and 8, who
almost were packed off to Rus
STA as part Of q Cuban eduea-
tional program were brought
out of their native land by
Washington relatives.
Although the girls had spoken
some English when they were
much smaller, all such classes
have been stopped in Cuban
schools under the Castro re-
gime. They remembered almost
nothing Of the strange language
until they began taking lessons
at Villa Mercy.
Their instructor is Sister
Mary CaSimir, who learned to
speak Spanish as q child from
members of her family, who
were born in Spain.
A total Of ITO children is
taking summer school courses
in a variety Of subjects during
a month-long course at villa
Mercy.
Glasses are divided into
groups Of 10, and each nun has
an assistant who helps in work
with small groups or ihdivid-
uals.
Sister Mary Mel, who heads
the summer school, said that
by a coincidence five Of the
Sisters, who were brought from
Sisters Of Mercy provinces all
over the United States, speak
Spanish fluently.
I'VE have had a tremendous
demand, with q number Of chill
dren from Spain, Venezuela
and Cuba who have asked for
lessons in English" Sister Mary
Mel said.
The nuns also offer courses
in reading, mathematics, Eng
fish, French, drama, music and
arts and crafts.

only the artist, not only his
dealer, but even the manu-
facturer Of art supplies can
make a good thing of the pre-
Sumed rising level of culture
and the growth of interest in
the visual arts. Moreover, it
is often alleged, the amateur
painter, the Sunday dabbler,
is introduced by his own ar
tiStic activities into a deeper
appreciation of the works of
professional artists. From
graphing with the problems
of painting himself, he comes
to understand and sympa-
thize with the efforts of men
who grapple with those prob
lens every day Of their lives.
From the enjoyment the
amateur takes in playing
with paint, he moves natu-
rally. it is said, to an en-
joyment Of paintings by peo-
pie who actually know what
they're doing with paint.
Is all this true?
Is any Of it true?
The Best Of All
Precious little. The truth
seems to be that the more
the amateur gets involved in
his own painting, the more
he is convinced that his own
painting is just about the
only thing in the world of
art that is worth his atten-
ton. This attitude strongly
colorS his visits to museums,
for example. though in truth
the amateur painter often
goes less to museums than he
did before he took up paint
ing. When he does, one of
two things generally happens:
Either he spends his time
spying out the devices Of
professionals with which he
can adorn his own work; or,
probably more common, he
makes Of his visit an ex-
tended demonstration that
nobody hanging on those
august walls is as worthy to
be there as he is himself.
Not infrequently the two
things happens simultane-
ously.
With such the museum ex-
perience Of the amateur
painter, his attitude to art
in the home is fairly pre-
dictable. He loves art in the
home, especially when it has
been produced by himself.
When he isn't in his studio,
taking himself seriously as
an artist at work, he reclines
at ease in his living room,
contemplating his recent eff

Is this healthy?

1t could be that it is. 1t

dered. Everyone needs, no
doubt, some solid evidence Of
achievement and few things
are as tangible, as vaguely
pretigious, and as individually
, ones own as a painting one
can hold in his hand and
hang on his wall.
Again, also from a thera-
peutic point Of view, the
process Of painting can be en-
ormously absorbing; if the
amateur is engaged in an &C.
cupation that is itself abb
Sorbing, he can sometimes
break its spell by submitting
to the counter-absorption Of
painting.
Art and Therapy
All Of this, of course, has
nothing whatsoever to do
with art. A confusion arises
because art and therapy here
employ the same tools and
materials. The art supply
store doesn't ask whether you
want oil paints and canvas to
create art or to provide YOUR
self with a Salutary change of
occupation. The merchant
sells to anyone who presents
himself and, incidentally, the
very finest materials are more
apt to be purchased by the
amateur who can't possibly
use them well than by the
artist, who can't afford them.
The problem arises when
the amateur persuades him
Self-uSually an easy task
that his therapeutic exercises
are actually art. At this point,
In the majority of cases, he
bangs shut the door upon art

remains so. He concentrates
ever more exclusively upon
, his own work." as he calls
it. His heroes in art are the
unframed and those who
came late to art: Rousseau
the customs official and even
Grandma Moses. He is of two
minds about Gauguin: on the
one hand the great post-Im-
presSionist did prove that
stockholders can become ar
fists; on the other, he did it
by ceasing to be a stock
broker, and a basic assump-
ton of the amateur is that
one can be a first-class stock
broker and a first-class
painter at the same time.
Only Grandma Moses
In any case the amateur is
unlikely really 20 know the
works even Of his heroes,
with the possible exception
of Grandma Moses.
Convinced of his own art
iStic merit, the amateur sets
about passing this good news
along to the world. If he is
not admitted to museum ex-
hibitions, he takes this as
evidence that museum Off

Old bones keep turning up
IN painting Of our time, but
rarely have they turned up as
effectively as in the work of
a young Chilean, Enrique
Castrocid, whose paintings
and drawings are now on
view on the Pan American
Union through August 16.
The painter is not en-
gagged ION bone portraiture
and 1t may be doubted if a
skele ton specialist could
identify a single bone in the
10 paintings, but the feeling
Of bones comes through every
time. More specifically, the
feeling evoked by the paint
ings is of bones long laid at
rest and newly uncovered.

may even be a condition re-
quiring relief in a new
therapy, such as selling
stocks and bonds or practic-
ing law.
Toward Appreciation
Socially and culturally,
though, the real shame of
it all Is not in the madness
the amateur drives himself
to; the shame is in the vast
amount of wasted time,
energy, interest and money.
There isn't an art museum
in the country that couldn't
rejuvenate itself overnight
if 1t had at its disposal the
enthusiasm the amateur
spends so prodigally on self
appreciation. There is no
easy way for the art institu-
ton to attract that enthusi-
asm. All it has to offer is
art and the amateur is bas-
ically uninterested in the
whole subject. He is inter-
ested in psychic self-aggran.
dizement and playing with
paint is the easiest way in
the world to get it.
Still, since the similarity
Of materials allows the anna
teur to fancy his therapy is
really art, it may be possible
to lead him gently to an
appreciation of art produced
by artists. The effort is worth
making. Not only can the
museum use all that enthu-
siasm, but in many American
communities the museum had
better get the amateur before
the amateurs gets the museum.

There's an exhibition of
contemporary Polish posters
at the Library of Congress
now and you really ought to
go and see it. It's always q
good thing to shake up your
preconceptionS and the show
is bound to jostle the precen-
ceptions held by many people
about. the graphic arts in the
new Soviet empire of Eastern
Europe. The Polish poster de-
signers aren't turning out
anything remotely reSem-
bling socialist realism, yet for
the most part their work is
being done exclusively for
state agencies, there being q
shortage of other employers
in Poland these days.
The exhibition Of contem-
porary Polish painting held
last spring at the Ores Gal
lery and the larger show
Of Polish art due to open
soon ait the Museum of Mod
ern Art, New York, make the
same point. For in both cases
the paintings could not have
got out Of Poland without
the cooperation of the Pol
ish government. Permission,
however, is different from
commission; while the Polish
government is happy to
supervise the distribution and
sale abroad of non-socialiSt
realist paintings, the posters
are actually commissioned by
the government for govern
ment use. Traditionally, COM
misSars have as little use
for non-realistic art as do
American congressman.
It's Different in Poland
Why then the change in
Poland? The answer is clear
~ beyond the competence of
an art critic. but in the Lii
brary'S second floor exhibit
ton hall, official commercial
art from Poland now adds
its evidence to the many signs
that Communism is different
in Poland.
By way not so much Of ex-
PLANTATION as Of documenta-
ton Of the change, the Lii
brary provides the following
statement from a Polish art
authority. Henryk Szemberg:
In Poland as in other coun-
tries the poster reflects the
tastes and opinions Of its
public and commissioners,
and not infrequently comes
into conflict with ready-made
canonS of taste. For a num-
Der Of years some author
tiles exerted a pressure of a
detrimental kind on ad-
vertising. artists, demanding
from them, in the name of
socialist realism and s.lu-
posedly better, comprehensi-
bility, naturalistic work full
Of pretty colors and false
pathos. Yet the poster
has managed to steer clear
Of such influences with. more
success than any other
branch of art"
Folk Art
The Library show justifies
the, statement. The events
for which the posters ON view
were made are mostly movies
and art exhibitions; it may
well be that direct political
or patriotic appeal still re-
tainS the old socialist realism.
But in the work on view, all
such stodgy pedestrian stuff
has been dropped in favor
OF gay, colorful stylization
and symbolism. Particularly
in the use Of birds by Jan
Lenica, one is reminded Of
Polish folk art, not artificial

Police were told that Louis Boy

told Percy Mccoy that he wanted
his wife, Jane Boykin to come out
side and talk to him. Mrs. Boylxin
resides at BOT North Dale.
When it became apparent that
she was not going to come out
Boykin went back to his car.
Shortly after Percy Mccoy
came out of the house and at
tempted to talk with him.
Mccoy told police he was then
threatened by Boyl<in who had a
shotgun which he pointed at him.
Percy ran back into the house
and Boykin was last seen running
down the alley.
The officers spotted BoylIin and
told him to stop, which he did. He
was then arrested and charged
with suspicion of assault and dis
orderly conduct.
