naut Schirra and the sliding
Maury Wills?
"And Schirra is safe at sec
ond. Cheers"
The network attempted to
solve its dilemma yesterday by
teletyping bulletins Of the AS
tronaut's progress at regular
intervals across the bottom Of
the pictures of the early. action
in Los Angeles, and If this turn
ed out to be a less than salts
factory solution for those who
were expecting the same inten-
sive coverage of Schirra'S flight
as that accorded the others, it
took only a flip of the channel
switch to discover that this was
more than we were getting from
Dick Clark or The Secret
Storm.
1t should be noted, too, that
on less exciting days, network
news might have continued
with following stories from Mis-
sissippi, or broken in. for spe-
cials on the New York phone
building explosion. One Of these
decades, TV may reach that
point where it can simultan-
eously project a variety of pro-
grams and the viewer-with q
flip of the button-can bring in
the one he wants. 80
From a technical point Of
view, an orbital flight is more
sound than pictures. Once the
Astronaut takes off, the pic
lures revert to anchorman, his
aides, the take-off scene at
Canaveral, the Astronaut's
home town, crowds watching,
ETC., and much that occurs may
be redundant. Yet, even radio
wasn't sticking with the flight
consistently = according to a
haSty check of several yester-
day. (If anyone did, we'd be
happy to correct it,

neared, of course, ABC and
CHS pre-empted regular pro-
gramming to stay with Schirra
until the recovery and the pic
lures switched from the an
chormen to maps Of the area,
and back. Pool man Herb
Kaplow, aboard the aircraft
carrier, was doing an excellent
job Of describing the thrilling
on-target landing. NBC, mean
while, was interrupting the
sound coverage of the baseball
game-retaining the pictures
of the action-for selected ex-
cerpts from its own man, Kap-
low, and from Roy Neal or
Shorty Powers. But at least

expedient of harrassed ma
ternity. In painting her own
children-two girls and a
boy Mrs. MCGUIRE has man
aged to get something about
mother love itself down on
canvas and this is no incon-
siderable feat. Whistler in
his celebrated monument
didn't really try; "One must
always do ones best for
ones Mummy" sums up the
filial feeling there. Childless
Mary Cassatt came lots closer
but. perhaps because she was
childlesS, she saw only IN
alleged affection in the re-
lationship.
Mrs. Mcclure, painting
from the inside as 1t were,
gets more Of the truth. To be
a mother Is to worry and fret,
to peer intently at the kids
and hope for the best against
desperate odds. Something of
this quality comes over like
a song in the dozen paintings
on view.
The pictures are strongly
and simply designed, painted
in flat colors, the children,
one, two or all three, placed
against simple backgrounds,
the side Of q house. q porch
swing, flowers in the yard,
a fireplace, a chair, what
ever. Space is unobtrusively
but greatly compressed, thus
increasing the intensity of
the solemn gazes that greet
you in every picture.
One Of the mysteries Of the
age is how the Irish eyer
managed to pass themselves
off as laughing. devil-msy-
care types. They are brood
ing, melancholy people and
this is a quality that Mrs.
Mcclure has captured SUI
perbly. Every face, including
her own. is Irish and there
isn't a smile in the crowd.

Art Galleries, Ltd.

Around the corner and UP
the street from the Obelisk
is the newest of Washington
galleries, Art Galleries, Ltd,
which today opens its first
one man show in its rooms
at 1914 Wisconsin ave. NV.
There is a reception for the
artist, Leonard Besser, from
S to 8 pm.
Mr.. Besser Is also con-
cerned with the figure and
in a dozen fairly large pic
lures presents a dozen varia-
tons of a single theme. The
theme is the human person
distorted in a styled way.
The variations consist in pre-
senting two such persons
three such persons, or appar-
emily a mother and child Of
such a race in varying colorS
of lights falling upon the
figures.
Years ago there used to be
a tire company that adver-
tised with a picture Of a man
composed entirely of tires,
the sizes varied to fit arms,
legs, torso and head. Mr..
Besser's people recall no one
so clearly as they do that
jolly old soul from the bill
boards of childhood. Yet his
people are anything but jolly.
They're rather grim. The fl
nal impression is that they
are enclosed In segmented
armor. like that Of the lob
ster. Like the lobster, too,
their colors change from
murky green to blazing red.
The message seems to be
that it's hard to commune
cate with your fellow man if
you are arrayed in armor. or
even in tires. The changing
color is nice to follow from
picture to picture and within
each picture.

Corcorun GuIIeN

From extreme likeness we
move to extreme difference
at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art, which has just opened
the first of this years series
of one man shows for Wash
ington artists. The artist is
Rudolf Won HUM. a scientist
and engineer who, since his
retirement in 1947, has been
making prints and drawings
strongly favored by both his
lifelong professions.
Now in his late seventies,
Mr.. Won HUM creates geomet
rical forms simply but pleas
antly colored. An early ad-
mirer Of the Bauhaus expert
ments of 40 years ago, he
has in effect achieved a late
Towering Of Bauhaus art. He
is in the tradition of part OF
Kandinsky and part Of Mo-
holy-Nagy, without the mysti'
cism of the one or the wit of
the other. His titles are al
ways appropriate and his
pictures always yield, fairly
easily, the connection be-
tween the name and the
image. Thus Marco Polo" is
built around a dominant
double arc filled with blue
and floating small forms.
This geometrical form i'm
mediately suggests both the
ship Of a voyager to new
worlds and the seas trans
verSed.
The work is exact, modest
and unassuming. pleasant to
look at and delightful to de-
cipher. While there is no fig
ure, there is certainly an
image in every piece. What's
more, the image presents it
self as a kind of riddle to be
unravelled and also as an
arrangement in geometry.
Since both riddles and geome
try are exclusively human
contributions to the world,
Mr.. Won Huhn's pictures i'm
mediately relate to the gen.
eral humanizing now going
on in art and specifically to
the new recognition Of the in
tellect as a permissible source
of art.

return. The Museum Of Mod
ern Arts international Pro-
gram is the one institution
more. than any other which,
during the fiftieS, made Jack
son Pollock a household
word in Europe and, in its
export exhibitions, created
the illusion that the figure
had totally vanished from
America. Now the program is
circulating through Europe a
large and impressive show OF
Leonard Baskin, an artist
who has always been devoted
to the figure both in sculp-
ture and prints. Baskin, Of
course, was as available
throughout the fifties as he
is now.
Institutional Art
At the other end Of New
York State, Buffalo's Al
bright-Knox Gallery has long
been on the leading edge Of
the institutional avant-garde
in America. The second part
Of its hyphenated name was
recently added as tribute to
q really princely benefactor,
Seymour Knox, who, with di-
rectorS Gordon Washburn
and Gordon M. Smith. early
made Buffalo the most hos
pitable climate for Abstract
Expressionism. Yet this year
the Albright-Knox is staging
a large retrospective show OF
Andrew Wyeth, the American
realist who. a decade ago,
was regularly denounced for
not having dropped dead
when first Pollock dripped.
Clearly, neither Baskin nor
Wyeth has returned" to the
figure. They never left. In
each case, the return has
been made by an institution,
