By JOSEPHINE L0WAHAN

~ JOSEFnANE LOW1AN
Mr.. Charles A. Tucker,
general manager Of q firm
which specializes in low-cal-
orie salad dressings, has o
very unique hobby. He has
been collecting words and
phrases which stimulate the
brain cells but not the sali-
vary glands. Perhaps Mr..
Tucker has in mind helping
out the dieter who is trying
to converse with q couple of

words will perk up the
dieter's vocabulary and even
add flavor to his menus.

ply seems to be to think

Kiln Club Exhibit

The Kiln Club of Wash
ington is exhibiting its
eighth international exhibit
ton of ceramics at the
Smithsonian Natural History
Building, Constitution ave-
nue. at Tenth street NV.
Somewhat less than half the
show of 426 pieces is by
Washington area ceramiciSts.
Fifty-five are by invited
Americans from other cities;
the others are from other
countries, with a feature sec
ton from Canada. This is
a good system, enabling both
the local ceramic artist and
the local potential customer
to see local work against
both the national and in
ternational background.
Unhappily, the work seen
in any of the three cate
gories is not, on balance,
worth spending much time
on. A few years back Ameri-

ture, hold the picture togeth-
er and at the same time pro-
ject the individual isolation
of the characters, which is
part of the point.
"Elegy to the Sun"
The contrast between light
released and light concealed
is strongest in a large, ba-
Sically red and yellow work
called "Elegy to the Sun"
The sun is in the center,
atop a vague plinth of some
kind. The figure to the right
reflects the sun, light glow
ing on every inch of face and
body. The figure to the left
hides the sun, light streaming
from behind but the figure
itself dark. The build-in, per-
manent, complex relationship
between these elements is
heightened by the gritty and
applied canvas parts, and is
capable of holding the atten-
ton indefinitely without los
ing its force.
Another noteworthy mythic
creation of the artist is in
two urban scenes. ITO
ward the City" is at once a
group of figures waiting for
the morning bus and, thanks
largely to the textural pat
terms, the same response that
Thomas Wolfe found in him
self on approaching Manhat-
tan. Life CLOVIS; fulfillment is
near. End of Day" reverses
the values of light and color
and the human emotions
evoked.
Guillermo Trujillo is a
painter of both promise and
achievement. 1t is more re-
warding to watch his work
than to watch the trends it

BY FRANK GETLEIN
Star Art Critic

Far and away the best one
man show in town right now
is at the Pan American
Union. The painter is a
young Panamanian, Guillermo
Trujillo, no relation to the
late benefactor but an archi-
tect, university professor and
landscape designer as we'll as
painter. Now in his mid-30s
he has exhibited in Panama,
Spain, Mexico and Brazil.
This is his first United States
show.
For trend watchers, Mr..
Trujillo is important in re-
fleeing the contemporary
abandonment of total alb
straction. 1t is good to see
the abandon going on below
the Rio Grande as well as
above it. But the top value
of the 20 paintings has moth
ing at all to do with trends.
Again, the catalogue of the
show goes on at some length
about the artists use of the
mysterious forms of the alb
original art of Central Amer
ica," but the value of the
show has little to do with
archaeology.
From whatever sources, Mr..
Trujillo has created a new
cast of mythic figures for
himself and they are such
that they communicate in
Stantly, or almost instantly,
to the viewer, whether he
knows anything about Cen
trail American primitive art,
whether he gives a fig for
the extremely contemporary
means employed to achieve
anew these ancient ends.
Uses Sawdust and Resin
The means employed IN
clude gritty textures obtained
by mixing sawdust and resin
in the ground for a painting
and the fixing of small OBJ
longs of canvas to the over
all canvas on which the work
is painted. Such devices are
useful to the artist and to
the art. They need not and
probably should not concern
the viewer.
Within the show is a suite
of blue paintings. in which
dark blue, monumental fig
ures loom out of a light blue
atmosphere. These include
Adam and Eve" a really new
and stimulating version of
the primal apple pickers;
"Idyl," which is Just what it
says. and Light Hoarders."
a firSt-claSs example of the
artists invention of new
myth.
The figures stand or sit
and are related to each other
and to the overall scene by
bursts of light and bursts Of
concealed light. These bursts,

carried to exaggerated
lengths, particularly in state
ments by groups of potters
strongly implying that if you
weren't a potter there wasn't
much hope for you. But we're
all young at one time or
other most of us, anyway,
and the rhetoric could be
excused instantly when seen
with the actual work of the
manifesto writer's.
There are no manifeStoeS
of purity to go with the show
at the Smithsonian and
there is very little purity.
The potter's wheel increaS-
ingly seems to be abandoned
in favor of working with
slabs tortured into ungainly
shapes and decorated with
extraneous materials. Many
of the pieces look as if they
are encrusted with barnacles.
In general the craft of the
ceramicist has been replaced
by the desire for art" and
individual expression at any
cost. The cost is very great
and it must be hoped that
a return to craft will follow
the practicable speedy ex-
haustion of the nouveau art
nouveau on view.
No show of more than 400
examples of anything can be
totally devoid of merit and
there is some nice work here.
The Icelandic entry by two
craftsmen is outstanding.
Hertha HILTON of Sweden
really does use ceramic for
art purposes and a Canadian.
Jean Clarke, has a stoneware
group of adults and children
that seems a kind of stepped
down Henry Moore. On the
local scene, pieces by Audrey
c. Hayden, Maxine Shanklin
and William R. Schafer are
prominent among those
worth a look.

Ores Gallery

Painters whose work has
been exhibited before at the
Ores Gallery and who have
been tapped for the upcom-
ing Carnegie International at
Pittsburgh, are now being
shown at the Ores. The ex-
amples on view are reason
ably close to the work chosen
for the Carnegie. Insofar as
this group is representative
OF the Pittsburgh show, that
show appears to continue its
tradition of abstract express
sioniSm and nothing else.
This is noteworthy just as
the Museum Of Modern Art
appears to be attempting a
detente slowly enough not to
disturb the considerable mar
ket values involved in that
kind of work.
The other generalization is
that non-objective painting
at the Ores is better organ
lied and less foolish than it
often is elsewhere, including
the last Carnegie Interna-
tional.
Antonio Tapies, winner of
the grand prize at the last
Carnegie, is represented by

other paintings, though, make

Luis Martinez Pedro is
present in an austere yet COL
orful composition of tangents
to circles on a black ground,
a wholly intellectual exercise
in which sheer precision wins
through to values beyond the
calculating machine.
Best in the show is Grace

formal organization she used
