Art Critic Of Tho Star


The incest thing that can
happen to an art museum is
happening to the Corcoran
Gallery of Art. A preview of
it opened Friday and is on
view at the Gallery through
November IL.
The incest thing, Of course,
is the gift of a large group
of paintings and sculpture
in the museums own area of
specialization. The gift in
question is that of the Edith
Gregor Halpert collection,
which the New York art dealer
has assembled for herself
over the years and is now CIV
ing to the Corcoran. Donor
and recipient are now in
agreement on details, after
years of negotiation. Follow
ing that, work will begin on
a permanent installation in
ground level galleries on the
E street side Of the Corcoran
and the grand opening is ex-
pected next year.
In the meantime, visitors
to the Corcoran can see 166
paintings and sculptures Sc
lected from the Halpert Col
lection for the Corcoran by
Bartlett H. Hayes, jr., director
of the Addison Gallery of
American Art at Phillips
Acadmey, Andover. They will
see a good deal more than
a large number Of first-rate
paintings and sculptures.
MasterfuI Choice
They will see, In the first
place, q top dealers choice,
which is always interesting
and instructive. Since 1926
Mrs. Halpert has been deal
ing in American art and rep
resenting American artists.
Her first mission, naturally,
has been to move the goods,
to find buyers for her artists.
Within that process her own
collection has been largely
assembled. Always an ex-
tremely imaginative woman,
Mrs. Halpert a few years
back put on an exhibition Of
pictures that didn't sell and
asked her visitors why. In
each case the puzzle picture
or stubborn statue seemed as
good as other pieces by the
same hand which had gone
like hot cakes. She didn't
really get any final answers,
but a number of such pieces
found their way, finally, into
her own collection. The best
explanation is that. in one
way or another, such pictures
lacked the immediate, sur
face appeal that starts the
mental process of an art sale.
In many cases the inner VAL
ues of the individual artist
stand more clearly revealed
than ever. Such problem pic
lures are often especially
good for an art museum, in
terested as it is in the quail
ity of an artist rather than
in his fashion.
Fashion is the second great
note Of the Halpert Collec-
ton, for almost without ex-
ception, these are artists who
never enjoyed the overriding
fashionable appeal of, say,
jackson Pollock, or Thomas
Hart Benton, or John Singer
Sargent. Indeed, as a group,
the Halpert artists have
often operated in the shadow
of fashion rather than in
its spotlight. They have al
ways had an audience; their
pictures have always sold;
their prices have climbed
steadily and have for years
been well into the thou
sands; they have been rec
ognized and purchased by
museums and collectors. But
none of them has ever been
"the" painter that one
must" have this year. The
closest thing to a vogue in
the whole group was that en-
joyed briefly. some IS years
ago, by Pop" Hart, repre-
sented by one small water
color.
And Pop" interesting, de-
lightful and witty as he GER

Smithsonian

For a natural history mu-
scum, the Smithsonian's Nat
ural History Museum puts on
a remarkable number Of art
exhibitions and most Of them
are Of high quality. Two
there now illustrate very well
the wide scope of shows
available in the Foyer CAL
lery throughout the year.
The first-you meet it at
the door, where, in fact, it
obscures the monumental
bronze doors on permanent
displays one of those bril-
liant strokes we are by now
used to from the Smithsonian
Travelling Exhibition Service.
Pre-Hispanic Mexico" is ex-
actly what it says, q fasci-
mating view of the culture
that existed south Of the
border before the Spanish ar
rived. The show was designed
by Mexican Architect Pima
Drienhofer and gives q SUI
perb look at the architecture
and architectural decorations
Of the Columbians. Des-
tined to travel around the
United States after its run
here ends in mid October,
the exhibition is q top ex-
ample of contemporary tech
niques in visual education.
Actual Aztec and other
monumental sculptures have
been closely reproduced in
what seems to be plexiglass.
This material has only re-
Gently begun to be used by
American sculptors and here
it demonstrates its remark
able ability to duplicate the
look of ancient stone.
In addition, the show has
many color photographs and
a large number Of illumi-
mated charts and maps
graphically conveying such
information as the waves Of
immigration from Asia and
the location and periods Of
the different pre-Columbian
civilizations.

Pan American Union

AIIreoo Halegua Of Uur-
gauy is showing some very
competent, carved wood, fig
urative sculpture at the
Union and the show is worth
a visit for several reasons.
It's pleasant to see sculpture
at the Union and it's re-
assuring to see a sculptor in
his early sos who knows how
to carve and prefers it to
welding.
MIR. Halegua rests securely
in the arms of the early Lip
chitz and even Epstein with
an occasional reference to
Henry Moore, but these are
all three very strong artists
and worth seeing done with
a Latin accent. A large head
of Mrs. Kennedy shows the
First Lady as she may ap-
pear at the age of 80. To
make up for this lapse of
taste, there is a first-rate
torso.

tainly was, must be acknowl-
edged to be on a level some
what lower than that of the
main line Halpert artists.
All told there are so paint
ers and sculptors represented
in the show and a majority of
these have at one time or
another been shown at Mrs.
Halpert's Downtown Gallery.
But the main line group is
smaller and tends very much
to center on classic Ameri-
can artists. classic in the
sense of universal acceptance
and classic also in the sense
Of a certain control over
methods and materials, a
certain distance maintained
between artist and world OBJ
served, between artist and
work performed. between art
ist and art public.
1t is no accident that Geor-
gia O'Keeffe, for instance,
has lived now for decades in
New Mexico and prefers that
spare, swept land to the jun
gle Of the New York art and
publicity world. 1t is no ac-
cident that Abraham Rather
splits his time among Paris,
the end of Long Island and
Midwest universities.
Great Variety
AS none Of the Downtown
artists has ever had a real
vogue. so none has ever been
q personality" in the movie
star Of press-agent sense. All
they've had to say they've
said in their work. The excep-
ton has been Ben Shahn,
who has developed a high
talent for criticism and phi
losophy. but that, too, has
been treated as work, as OBJ
Jects made and presented to
the public, rather than as
expressions of a sensitive
personality.
Within the classic control
of materials, methods and
self, there is great variety,
great intensity and high ar
tistic achievement. One Of
the happieSt notes of the
show is that in most Of the
Downtown artists enough ex-
amples are present to show
something either of the in
dividuals growth and change
through the years or the
spread Of variations the in
dividual has, consistently
practiced.
Stuart Davis Section
The strong Stuart Davis
section centers on one of the
great ones. Hot Still Scape
for Six Colors," the title of
which carries the same spirit
of big band jazz as the paint
ing itself. There's been a good
bit of woolly thinking lately
about how art is really mu-
sic. With Stuart Davis the
Identification is closer than
usual. The angular shapes,
the repeated motifs, the
bright colors, all 60 far to
present to the eye and the
mind what. say, Benny Good
man or Woody Herman at
their peak presented to the
ear and the mind.
From 1858, or 18 years
after the "Hot Still Scape,
the Davis "Pochade" simpli-
fies enormously but still car
ries the big beat and the
strong color. Behind all this,
the section goes back to the
egg-beater period, to the
Paris street scene period and
to some all but unknown,
very early, dark distractions
Of the Gloucester scene, done
in 1917 when Davis was %.
Ben Shahn Group
The Ben Shahn section
covers most, though not quite
all, of that versatile artists

there's a sad portrait of Bar
tolomeo Vanzetti. There is,

Leaving the Fold

John Miller, who is in charge
of the royal cars, coaches and
horses, that he was the
Queens personal chauffeur.
He threatened to quit.
When the Queen returned,
she had a talk with ChiverS.
Ruffled feathers appeared
to have been smoothed down.
Il shall be staying on for
several years yet" Chivers
said then.
Now things have changed
again.
ChiverS, say his friends,
has resigned. He will leave
palace employment March
26.
No public explanation has
been given. 1t would be un-
usual if one were.
Chivers won't talk.
People in the know say
salaries of servants at the
palace are generally lower
than those of people doing
the same sort of work in
un-royal circles. At least two
other palace servants have
resigned so far this year.

they marched into the square.
One well-dressed woman asked:
Did they have to do this?"
It was not an intended af-
front. In the integrated Army
there are Negro troops in most
of the units. They had moved
into oxford that morning with
their units. When 1t became
necessary to call on them there
was no time to detach the
Negro troops, If the Army COM
manders were so inclined.
BY the next morning, no
Negro troops were to be seen
among the Army units sta
toned in the courthouse area.
While the Army did not say so
precisely, they were withdrawn
and assigned to other duties.
In their sober afterthoughts
on the indignities which had
come to their town, oxford res
idents blamed the Governor for
what had happened.
II, for one, have had enough
of Ross Barnett" said one man.
How widespread this feeling
is there is no way Of telling.

fore he would allow 1t to hap

Cling to The Past
The townspeople Of this quiet
university town are proud and
sensitive. Here, as elsewhere in
Mississippi, they cling to their
links with the past with more
tenacity than in most other
places.
They were shocked at the
rioting on the Ole Miss campus,
which most Of them did not
witness, and more so at the
outbreaks Of disorder in the
town, which many of them did
witness.
"These were not our people"
said a gray-haired man who
stood on the courthouse lawn
and saw rocks, bottles and
other missiles hurled at passing
Army units.
I'VE never saw them before,
we don't know where they came
from. We never wanted to see
them here"
Much of the resentment
against Gov. Barnett arose out
of the failure Of the Mississippi
State police to halt the rioting
