violent quarrel ensues: Mi

comes back to Bleecker Street

Jonas Fendell, a young
Baltimore artist. is now hav-
ing his second one-man show
at the IF.A. Galleries, and
his paintings are we'll worth
a look.
Mr.. Fendell works with
some compound of his own
devising which enables him
to lay on broad areas of va
riously colored sand. To such
areas he reduces such scenes
as evening in the hills. rocks
and rills and land and sky.
About half the work on view,
fairly sizable, is in subdued
color and texture harmonieS
StreSsing gray and brown.
The other half is brighter
and more abstract. some

Anyway, it's all pleasant to

A specific result of this u
misapprehension about DAY

at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art. There also is a Park
show at the Obelisk Gallery
and there is little point in
treating the two shows sepa-
rately. The Obelisk exhibi-
ton is much smaller, offering
19 paintings compared to SO
at the Corcoran. But both
exhibitions cover the same
ground and both contain
first-rate examples Of Parks
mature style, a way Of paint
ing he reached about 1850
and continued until his death
in 1860. He was 40.
The misapprehension about
Park stems from an over
anxious sense Of art history.
In the view Of those endowed
with this sense, the art his
tory of the last IS years was
written entirely by American
expressionism. But Park, be-
ginning about the time abb
stract expressionism achieved
it's strange hold on museums
and art publications, did not
play the game. He painted
people. which was against
the rules.
The anxious art historians
have reacted to this heresy
in two ways. They have seen
in Park, and in his West
Coast friends, Richard Die
benkorn and Elmer Bischoff,
the end of abstract express
sionism. Or, and this course
has now gained the wider
acceptance, they have dis
covered that Park and the
others are really abstract
expressionistS, too.
The latter ploy is COM
plete nonsense. If abstract
expressionism meant any
thing-and you can make a
good case that it didn't mean
much - it certainly meant
that figure painting was for
hidden except to Willem de
Kooning.
A New Vision
But Park, as the two shows
make clear, was not "in re-
bellion" against abstract ex-
pressionism or anything else.
He was interested in people
and in painting and. after
years of trying. finally found
a way of painting which
brought the two things to-
gether in a new and some
times very moving vision Of
man on earth. This is not re-
bellion. Nor is it a return"
to some older style of paint
ing. It is the point at which.
commonly, a painter becomes
an artist. When Park reached
it he had just a decade Of life
and work left to him.
Both the Corcoran and the
Obelisk show a number Of
early works. In Parks case,
early" applies right up to
the edge of that last produc-
tive decade. But in the early
works you can see hints of
what is to come.
For example, the most i'm
pressive of the early works
is Three Boys in Dunes,
1887. Strongly linear. the
painting is an almost abb
stract design Of dune. elbows,
knees and shoulders as the
three sprawl on the sand in
a trefoil. Beyond the design
and part of the design. the
three are each absorbed in a
private view, looking away
from the group they COM
pose.

few. They. too, for the most
part evade the question of
drawing in its academic
sense and concentrate, legit-
imately enough, on the pleas
ures of light and shade.
In short, there are three
completely separate bodies of
work all under one artists
name. 1t is difficult to see
how they all got together or
why any of them should be
exhibited at this time.

Isolation Theme

This intimation of isola-
ton in company becomes a
major theme in the paint
ings of the last decade.
There are two medium
sized works of a woman
against a crowd. In one. she
wears orange against a pass
ing, orange bus. One with the
background, she is also sep
arate from it, heading out
toward us as the passengers
continue their journey across
our line of vision.
In the other, The Red
Hat" the woman, seen only in
head and shoulders, pursues
her self-absorbed way, again
toward us, as behind her,
other walkers go other ways.
Again and again, the note
sounds. A man waits for a
bus, his face large in the
canvas, his eyes staring past
us. In an interior, a woman
sleeps, a man reads. each
alone. The key painting in
Parks development, Kids
on Bikes" owned by Wash
ington collectors Mr.. and
Mrs. David L. Kreeger, does
the same thing. One boy is
almost on top of us, head,
hands and handlebars: in the
distance, the other speeds
away.
Or we look down at a
Table With Fruit" A male
back is near us, but the
sweep Of exaggerated per-
Spective takes his dining
partner far away.

extremely impressive. To the
vision of man revealed in
them. art history is irrele-

Benny Goodman. the king
of that ancient thing called
swing, held a ghostly little
press conference here today to
mark his arrival for a concert
at the University of Maryland
tonight.
In addition to 16 newsmen
and publicity agents. the tiny
room at National Airport was
crowded with the spirits OF
music past.
The 53-year-old maestro
conjured up visions of the old
days when the big bands ruled
the land: Glenn Miller. the
Dorsey brothers, Artie Shaw,
Count Basic, Duke Ellington
and Woody Herman.
Asked if he thought the big
bands were coming back, Mr..
Goodman replied a little visit
fully: "I've been hearing that
for the past 20 years"
He said he might drop in at
the Shoreham Hotel while he
is here to hear a resurrection
Of Glenn Miller'S music by Tex
Beneke.

lar in Russia" noted Mr.. Good

The Soviet officials decision
that the Goodman band was
safe after all would doubtless
be shared by some critics in
this country, who feel that Mr..
Goodman is as square as a
Russian bear.

Ray Charles?" a reporter asked.
Mr.. Charles is a leader of a
more modern school Of jazz

In a movieland atmosphere
of glaring kleig lights and
cameras members of a Federal
Bar Association panel yesterday
discussed such question as
whether television coverage
would disturb Government
proceedings.
All of the panel members
supported. at least to some
degree. TV filming of govern
mental bodies, provided it
could be done unebtrusively.
However, because of a last
minute snafu the filming of the
panel program itself at the as
sociation's annual convention
at the Statler Hilton Hotel
turned into a hilarious burles-
que of how to take pictures
quietly and with a minimum of
distraction.
The original arrangements
for Gaotographing of the pro-
gram had collapsed shortly
before the panel session began
and a local film company had
been called in hurriedly to
make the movie.
The six glaring spotlights
used to light up the panel
would have made even a hard
ened third-degree victim blink.
The first panel member to
ask plaintively at the end of
the program whether the cam
era lights could be turned off
was a man with a vested in
terest in convincing the public
that TV pictures can be taken
without bothering anyone =

Disturbing Elements
The frequent Interruptions
OF the program for changing

between cameramen and har-

tapping on balky kleig lights
by perspiring technicians were
no more disturbing than If an
asthmatic elephant had wand
cred around the room wearing
cowbells on all four legs.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat
Of Tennessee, the first member

wistfully Of the television ar
rangements at the United Ma
