The same effort to get Or
der and image back into
American painting may be
seen in the work of two New
York artists now at the Gal
erie Internationale, 2101 S
street NV. Nicolas Carone
is the more conventionally
abstract eXpressionist of the
two specializing in visual
sound and fury signifying
not much.
Carone carrier his ortho-
doxy to the point of having
all his canvases titled "Un-
titled" This is satisfying
to the pure in heart who
believe with child-like faith
that a painting should not
be about anything, but it
does make the work difficult
to talk about. Anyway, one
of Carone's untitled paint
ings has a nude figure sort
Of half formed out of the
paint. Another is clearly an
effort to dispose some orchid
brush strokes pleasingly upon
a black ground and is very
pretty.
Action Prose
Throughout the decade or
so of American Action Paint
ing, what may as we'll be
called Action Prose was at
least as important as the
paintings. A superb exam

able at the Galerie Inter-

Probably strongest in a very
strong show Is a large chalk
drawing, Woman With
Troubled Expression" by
Mitchell Jameson. Holbein
and Durer are both recalled
in the monumental brooding
figure. Solldly of flesh,
sureness of line and quiet
anguish of spirit illuminate
the work.
Also within the old master
tradition Is Arthur Hall
Smiths Sepia, Figure With
Draped Head" the particular
old master being Rembrandt,
while specific modern mas
ters like Matisse and Mo-
digliani are brought to mind
in figure studies by Willem

Barrett. This is required
reading and is itself worth
a visit to the show.
1T is a risky and a very
very dedicated kind of paint
ing" writes Mr.. Barret. In
finits pains, infinite disci-
pline, infinite cropping, and
then-everything rides on
that final act Of passionate
abandon in which the painter
reveals who he Is. 1t is an
art of total commitment"
Mr.. Barrett continues, an
ticipating his readers. What
does this language mean? I
don't know"
Well, if he doesn't, how
can we? While the old-faSh-
ioned student of language
would say if you don't know
what you're talking about,
don't talk, Mr.. Barrett JUS
titles his obscure eloquence
and startlingly reveals the
aims of Action Prose as fol-
lows: "All writing about the
New York School is still pre-
mature, a good deal of it
possibly silly, but probably
all of it necessary to keep
the pot boiling"
That seems clear enough.
More Direct
Cleve Gray is much more
direct about the images
emerging from his very
closely built structures Of
paint strokes. The relation
of form to the precisely placed
brush strokes occasionally
recalls Cezanne, though not
in color. The work seems
strongest when 1t is almost
monochromatic and 1t is
much to be regretted that
some of his big studies of
Spanish architecture, seen
last year in New York, are
not in the present Washing
ton show. There is, however,
a fine Granada Hillside"
in which sunlight and sha-
dow are used as structurally
as earth and growth.
The artist is at his best
in a kind of Gray-on-gray
Portrait of Mrs. L." A lilt-
ing lyric quality inheres in
the delicate precision of the
paint strokes and the firm,
soft image of the lady.

Many artists regard the fu-
ture Of art as intimately tied
up with architecture.
Hence the significance Of
the current show at the Ores
Gallery, 1929 Twentieth street
NV. "The Architect Selects"
consists Of mostly Washing
ton art chosen by totally
Washington architects. Since
the choices were made solely
for the exhibition and neither
for architectural projects the
choosers have in hand nor
for their private collections,
a good deal of the signifi-
canoe was lost before the
enterprise began. Most of
the rest of it vaniShes upon
seeing the show.
The only architectural note
Is in the models and photos
Of buildings the choosing
architects have built. The art
on view could as readily have
been chosen by any doctor
lawyer or Indian chief in
the habit of visiting the Ores
Gallery.
There may be an excep-
ton in the object by Antonio
Tapies, a Spanish artist for
whom it is difficult to find
a good excuse. The Tapies
piece seems to be made out
of plaster, a substance often
used in architectural inte-
riors. In the center of q flat

young Spaniard has followed

Jefferson Place

The jefferson Place Gal
lery, 1916 Connecticut avenue
NV. is ending it's season
appropriately with an eXhi-
bition of work by the gall
lery's group Of Washington
artists. Under the title RE
view and Preview," the exhi-
bition brings together recent
work and older work by the
II artists. No particular evi-
dence of growth or decay
appears to one not intimately
familiar with the group, ex-
cept, perhaps, in the two
versions of his Flying Dutch
man" shown by Robert Gates.
The later version, illustrated
here some weeks back, pulls
together all its elements in a
strong vision Of the old wind
jammer blasting through the
blast; by comparison the
earlier version seems scat
tered and fragmentary.
Dominating the gallery
through sheer size is Howard
Mehring's Aura H." a big,
pleasant, overall laying on Of
spots of red, pink, gray, white,
in horizontal bands. The
painter no doubt had a lot
of fun putting it all to-
gether and watching the color
effects possible in a delib-
erately limited palette. It's
as if, in a way, the we'll
known American in Paris,
Sam Francis, had escaped
from his private inferno and
were strolling in the ElySian
Fields. The spots are small
er here and the general effect
is easier on the eyes, but the
technique seems very similar.
Jacob Kainen, the Smith
Sonian'S print curator, is in
the show with two current
works and one 20 years old.
Here if anywhere the exhi-
bition's promise of progress
should be clear, but it isn't
at all. Mr.. Kainen uses a
basically German expression
ist technique Of city scenes
and city people; he has OBJ
viously found it satisfactory
and sees no need for drastic
change. The viewer can share
the satisfaction, especially in
a lurid double portrait.
The show also boasts some
of the silliest painting seen
lately, which. in times like
these, is quite an achieve
ment. Outstanding in this
department are a hand
painted pattern for striped
wallpaper by Gene Davis,
and a tasteful arrangement
of four color smearS-green,
yellow, orange and red, left
to right-on white by Mary
Driven. Through June.

Phillips Gallery

At the Phillips Collection,
1900 Twenty-first street
NV, may be seen a couple
of rooms Of recent paintings
by Richard Diebenkorn. This
California artist is one of the
founders Of one of the main
movements of revolt against
abstract expresSionist mean
1ngleSSneSs. For an idea of
what happens after the ulti-
mate ,nothingneSs, you could
do much worse than visit
the Phillips.
Many of Diebenkorn's works
are big, as are all of the
works Of abstract express
sionism. Many of his, like
most of those. are composed
of broad bands or strokes
of simple colors, painted so
that it is impossible for the
viewer to escape the physical
facts of the paint and the
manner of its application to
the surface. Yet, unlike rou-
tine abstract expressionism,
Diebenkorn uses this ap-
proach to show something
of the world as well as some
thing of the paint brush.
Process and Image
There are several pure alb
stractionS in the Phillips
show, but by far the most
interesting pictures are those
in which the process of paint
ing exists for the viewer si-
multaneously with an image
of the visible world. In
terror with Books" is simply
the unpeopled corner of a
room with windows in both
walls giving on a stretch of
land and sky. Most of the
effects of conventional deep
perspective exist in the
broadly painted forms of
table, walls and land.
Probably the most spectac-
ular example of Diebenkorn's
control over his new means
is Girl with Plant" AS in
most of the Californian's
pictures, the tone is very
quiet, even meditative. She
sits in a room in which the
wall is pierced by a large
door opening. The wall and
the space beyond the open
door are both painted in
great strokes of color cover
ing a lot of ground at a
time. Yet the wall is un-
mistakably flat space, the
blue beyond inescapably in
finite. A brilliant bit Of
SpacemanShip and a subStan-
tial addition to the medita-
tion begun with the quiet
girl, Through June 26. Gray

BY FRANK GETLEIN
Art Critic Of The Star

1t wasn't so long ago that
any youGgish American
painter blanched at the no
ton that his work might
contain an image or two de-
rived from something other
than the sheer JOY of fling
ing paint at Masonite or of
inspiring the rhetoricians of
Art News to ripper rhetoric.
He had reason to blanch-
the youngish painter-for if
the shadow of a man or the
light of a meadow could be
diScerned in his painting, he
was guilty of retardationism,
of looking backward to the
bad old days when painting
actually had meaning. If
he were guilty he could never
hope to be discovered by the
Museum of Modern Art, by
Art News, by New York. His
career would be unheralded,
his paint would be unwept,
unhonored and unflung.
We have changed all that,
somehow, in the last few
years. The suspicion has
grown that Monet was
not only interested in the
splatter of paint upon those
astigmatic canvases, he was
also interested in the look of
those lilacS and water lilies
that he kept on painting
right up to the end. If the
look of things in bloom was
good enough for Monet, it
might be good enough for
his nonaStigmatic heirs and
some of them are hard at
the task of once more link
ing up with the common ex-
perience of mankind.
This revolutionary ap-
proach to contemporary
painting is currently on view
at a number of Washington
museums and galleries.
