All these artists are alb

one, of somber mood, with

after the personal request Of
Mrs. Pierre Salinger, wife Of
the presidential press secre-
tary.
The USIA program is the
biggest source of American
art abroad, but it is not the
only one. Chief competitor
is the international Council
of New York's Museum Of
Modern Art. Unlike USIA,
the Modern's program is
two-way. Also unlike USIA,
the museum gives its staff
plentiful funds, including
travel expenses. Finally, I'M
like USIA, the Modern's pro-
gram so far has con-
centrated almost exclusively
on abstract eXpressionist
painting.
The situation makes for
some confusion. Most coun-
tries handle participation in
international art events as
a government function.
America participates, for ex-
ample, in the big art shows
at Sac Pao and Venice only
through the Museum OF
Modern Art. Natural as
sumptions for foreigners are
either that the museum is
a government institution,
which it is not, or that the
American government just
doesn't. care much about
American art, which, on the
record, is not as far-fetched
as you might like to think.
Problems in Politics
In the past, though not
at the moment, the USIA
art program has also been
harrassed by congressional
ire at the inclusion in ex-
hibitions of work by Ameri-
can said to be Com
munist," a word that has
been interpreted very loosely
and seems to have little to
do with provable member
ship in the Communist
Party. In the view of many
journalistic observers, most
of the Communist"
fervor came originally from
academic artists concerned
to retain what is said to be
a virtual monopoly on Gov
eminent art commissions for
murals and statuary. What
ever its origins, the fervor
resulted, a few years ago, in
the cancellation of two i'm
portant shows of American
art and in a general feeling
among American artists that
the Government was anti
art.
The art world, bot h
domestic and international,
awaits with interest the first
sign of the new admins
tration's attitude on the
question. Meanwhile, USIA,
under considerable handi-
cap, does a good job of
showing the world American
achievement in art.

ReoIist

Glenn Heaton's one-man
show at Artists Gallery, 2919
M street NV. closes a fort
night display after today, all
too short a time, judging
from the public's reception of
his realistic and in many in
stances trompe 1'oeil paint
ings. Fourteen of the "a were
quickly sold.
D. C. born (l933) Mr..
Heaton graduated from the
Maryland Institute Of Art,
and Is now associate profess
sor of art at the College Of
William and Mary, Norfolk,
Va.
A series Of small trompe
l'oeil paintings, depict vases
Of flowers, goblets, shells,
knitting yarn, q chip basket,
broken light bulb. and other
objects. Differentiation be-
tween the respective materials
is convincing. Larger paint
ings are still life compositions
of commonplace things, even
rubbish, as in Basement
Storage" broken shutters, old
screens, cracked window
panes, etc. with diagonal
shadows east by filtering sun
light. One of the largest paint
ings, "Old Macadam" with its
rectilinear divisions on black,
is in effect as much an alb
straction as concrete and as
phalt slabs offered as paint
ings in recent shows else
where.

For-FIunq USIA Art Shows Take
American Culture to the World
BY FRANK GETLEIN
star Staff Writer

Right now, in q warehouse
on the West Side of Manhat-
tan, is being assembled q
large exhibition Of contem-
porary American paintings,
scheduled to open in Vienna
in June.
Right now In Warsaw,
Poles interested in art are
looking at a show Of Ameri-
can crafts called, Fiber,
Clay and Metal" assembled
by the ST. Paul (Minn.) Gal
lery and Art School.
Right now in Pakistan
the Pakistani are examining
a comprehensive photo show
Of contemporary American
sculpture.
Right now in Latin America
may be seen an immensely
popular exhibition of the
intaglio prints Of Mauricio
Lasansky, q BuenoS Aires
native who has become one
Of the top United States
printmakers. The Lasansky
show includes work by other
American artists who have
studied with him.
Right now, right here, the
Library Of Congress print
department is preparing an
exhibition Of Recent Trends
in American Printmaking"
for Tokyo. Before shipment
the so prints. all executed
within the last five years,
will be shown at the Library
from May II to June %.
All Of these far-flung ex-
hibition activities are the
prime responsibility of the
fine arts section Of the ex-
hibits division of the United
States Information Agency
(USIA). With AZ shows now
in one stage or another Of
planning, assembling and
touring, the USIA is the
number one source for non
Americans to find out about
American art. architecture
and craft.
Art for America
The theory Of USIA art ex-
hibitions, Of course, is that
the United States gets some
thing in return for its rather
small investment. The de-
sired return is the goodwill
and increased understanding
of the peoples among whom
the exhibitions are shown.
USIA field men report that
the shows are especially
valuable in establishing con-
tact with cultural leaders
and intelligentsia abroad. a
