In Cubist Style

Bright color is used as
sparingly and as effectively
as thick paint. 1t appears
only in small areas, a lamp,
perhaps, or a red rooster or
a water jug. This frugality
also heightens the effect of
great compression. The
shapes Of the objects them
selves are economically dis
torted in the classic cubist
style, again enhancing the
feeling of compression. The
surfaces are all richly glazed.
The glaze serves its usual
purposes of creating a honey
colored darkness out of which
the images appear; in these
paintings, however, the glaze
also adds its bit to the COM
preston business. Under the
glaze the still life arrange
ments, already nailed into
place with boards. seem also
to have been glued together
and to thu canvas.

ure painting, Dancer Dress
ing" In the latter, shafts
of light and pools of sha-
dow are transmitted into an
arrangement Of squares on
the body of the dancer and in
the surrounding space. Pre-
dominantly blue, the paint
ing has a gentle quality that
is pleasant to see.
The most spectacular
painting is a green and gold
avenue of Trees, Sunset" in
which the leafy branches are
piled up like mountains.
Equally effective, however, is
a kind of minimal painting,
Low Tide" in which a flat
eXpanse Of pure white is
broken only by a few line
indicating piers and sandbars.

Buder Gallery

Helen Rennie, Washington
artist whose solo show is now
at the Bader Gallery, presents
in her work an excellent eX-
ample of how some Of the
devices of conventional alb
stract eXpressionism can be
rescued from the dead end
street of that movement and
profitably be set upon the
main road of art.
At first glance, Miss REM
MES work may seem thor
oughly part Of that ageing
tradition. 1t isn't.
She uses a simple paint
ing technique. Against a very
flat, neutral background she
lays on a handful of SwathS
of paint, within a small range
of related colors. The swathS
are swinging and thin. So far
the work, particularly it's in
Sistence upon one basic de-
vice only, could come right
out of Tenth street, New York,
the capital of the now fad
ing empire. There are two
differences, however, and
they change everything. First,
there are no obvious acct
dents in Miss Rennie's work.
Nothing is sloppy or drippy.
Everything is where 1t is be-
cause the artist wanted it
there, not because it acct
IDENTIFY turned up. Second,
there is a reference to the
outside world in every pic
ture. Miss Rennie is not, an
abstractionist. She is a ma
ture painter. What amazes
in the exhibition is the way
so many different aspects OF
nature can be successfully
transposed into her personal
manner of swinging swaths
of paint.
Storm at sea, as you might
expect, comes through nicely
with leaping water and lower
ing clouds all adequately re-
presented by the swaths of
paint. But the artist does
as we'll with two seasonal
scenes along the C&O Canal
and she does brilliantly with
a big picture of Puerto Rico.
All the luxuriance of tropical
growth and the intensity of
tropical sun glow out at you
from a canvas that, after all,
holds only an arrangement
of gently curving, broad and
brightly colored lines in paint.

BIG WEEK FOR PIANISTS

Ginastera Piano Concerto
with the National Symphony
Orchestra at Carnegie Hall
last Sunday. And to
make the triumph complete,
Howard Mitchell celebrated
his birthday on that date and
received a National Music
Council citation as leader of
the major American orchestra
including the largest number
of American works in its pro-
grams. This was the fourth
time DR.. Mitchell has been
so honored-no other con-
ductor has been awarded the
citation more than once. .
Ronald Turini, the young
Canadian pianist to be heard
in recital at the National
Gallery tonight, is the only
pupil of Vladimir HOrOwitz.
In 1860, he took second prize
in the Queen Elizabeth of
Belgium Competition, the
Western equivalent of the
TchaikovSky Award which
swept Van Cliburn to fame
and fortune. Marian An
dersOn will sing for members
of the Cabinet and their
guests in the State Depart
ment Auditorium on Thurs
day evening. The recital will
be the third event in a
Cabinets sored series
which earlier presented poet
Robert Frost and historian
Carl Sandburg. . John A.
Velke, band director at Hern-

Pan American Union

The Pan American has a
very strong one-man show in
the paintings of Vicent e
Forte, of Argentina. Now so,
Mr.. Forte has been an in
fluential painter and teacher
in Buenos Aires for the past
quarter century but this is
his first one-man exhibition
in the United States.
Painting in a kind Of modi-
fled Cubism, Mr.. Forte favors
the traditional cubist subject,
still life. The 20 paintings on
view are all arrangements
of domestic objects = lamps,
tables, pitchers, bowls of
fruit, platters Of fish and
musical instruments. Usually
he surrounds the chosen OBJ
jects with blocky or rectan-
gular areas of paint in SOM
Der, Subdued colors. These
surrounding areas sometimes
suggest an arrangement of
boards nailed on to hold the
still life group firmly in place.
The areas act that way Wis
ually. They create pressure
upon the center so that a
system of stresses and strains
is established to which the
eye responds.
The surrounding areas are
mostly very thin in texture,
while the objects have i'm
paste paint in significant de-
tails. For example, in a still
life with a guitar, the area
corresponding to the area of
plucking is painted in a thick
impaSto of gray paint. which
is deeply scored by circular
lines; it is as if the lines
were made by a player with
his finger nails and most eff
fective.

scending." Here the rubbing
of the bronze conveys power
full flight and powerful
urgency. Mr.. Calfee is not
afraid to give an angel wings
and the wing form, above the
main figure. intensifies the
heaven-to-earth flight plan.
The figures is not totally de-
lineated. Rather. it energies,
in suggestive details and in
overall shape, from the
bronze mass in motion. Su-
perficially. the piece may re-
call either Barlach or Bocci-
oni, but the true reference is
Giotto. For him, too, angels
were always emerging figures,
simultaneously being and be-
coming.

American University

The new Watkins Gallery
at American University
opened this week with an
exhibition of paintings and
sculpture by six former visit
ing professors.
The two SculptorS were
both represented by minor
works, probably inevitably so,
freight charges being what
they are. This is too bad be-
cause one of them, Tram
LassaW, is far and away the
most exciting artist in the
group and the show would
be greatly improved if he had
half the space devoted to
huge paintings by Jack Twor-
kov, Charles Gator and Boris
Mango.
Those three among them
cover several of the bases of
current abstract expression
ism. Mr.. Tworkov is one of
the best painters in that gen.
eral manner and his work de-
serves intense study by local
followers of the movement.
Upon the loose flux of the
manner he imposes a stern
discipline of organization.
The other painter, Robert
Knipschild, was represented
by several small, effective
abstract landscapes. The
other sculptor, Raymond
Rocklin, had two small
bronzes which seemed to be
variations on the theme of
ribbon candy. the old-time
Christmas treat.
The new building itself is
a conventional box with glass
instead of windows and for
once that form should assist
the functions to be performed
within.

Corcorun Gallery

The Corcoran continues to
act like a dynamo of art in
town. In addition to the
Marin show and the new
rental gallery, the place has
a nice small show, in the
school, of wood block prints
in the japanese manner by
Father Joseph P. Love, a
Jesuit in Japan, and the
Friends of the Corcoran have
just presented another gift,
a warm, rich Park Land
scape" by James Weeks. The
event of the week, however,
was the opening of the latest
in the gallery's series Of one
man shows by Washington
artists, the sculpture and
some drawings of William
Calfee.
Mr.. Calfee, a faculty men,
Der of the American Univeri-
sity art department, works
in cast bronze and in this
ancient material has man
aged to create a new three
dimensional language. The
nature of this new way with
old art is most conveniently
summed up by saying that
volume and surface are of
equal Importance. The bronze
is never polished; nor Is it
darkened: nor is it green. 1t
is dull bronze, almost as it
comes from the furnace; it
has an air of fresh creation
which is heightened by the
occasional appearance of a
glinting edge of the metal.
The forms are angular rather
than rounded and the sur
faces are covered with ribs
and ridges in low relief. These
last can be thought of as a
sculptural equivalent of Mark
Tobey'S white writing"
Sizes Vary
The scale is varied and the
pieces are equally successful
at eight inches and at
twelve feet.
Mr.. Calfee is a religious
artist and the quietly brilliant
installation of Gudmund Wig
tel enhances the sense of
reverence the work itself i'm
parts. The surface agitation
is most easily appreciated in
a small piece, ARK" Mr..
Calfee assemblies as we'll as
casts his bronzes, putting in
dividual planes together to
form his volumes. The Ark
is an open box, fitted with
handles for carrying it on
the march, as described in
the Book of Exodus. And it
is back to Exodus that the
piece takes you. Suddenly
the intervening millenia are
wiped out. This rich but
crude, knocked together box
is the authentic carrying case
for Gods covenant with His
people. The planes that form
the box are covered with the
sculptural white writing"
and, as in Tobey, the effect
is decidedly that of a divine
message.
The bearer of the heavenly
message appears in a major
work, a striking figure of an
angel called Messenger De-
