Aqru Gallery

-
A good place to begin this
figurative tour is at the new
Agra Gallery, AIS East Capt.
toll street where one Of the
few forms of really contro-
versial art is on view. Con
troversial" in the art vocabu-
larry is q splendid example
of the way words lose their
meaning. Today what we
commonly call controversial
is art composed Of shredded
canvas, splashed paint and
old alarm clocks, about
which there is no controversy
whatsoever; such art is
hailed by one and all, sold for
goodly prices and installed in
leading museums. The art at
the Agra, on the other hand,
evokes violent feelings, both
of and against, and rarely
, gets into museums.
On view are about 20
paintings on velvet by Phil
lipine artist Felix Gonzalez.
Except for a still life, a night
scene and a jungle river, all
are figure paintings. the bare
majority, so to speak, nudes.
This display of velvet flesh,
lighted from within, raises
immediate questions. One is,
did anyone ever paint abb
stractions on velvet? Another
is, why does the velvet painter
invariably paint hubble, even
pneumatic, nudes? The third,
and most important, is, in
the presence Of such painting,
why does our flesh crawl?
Why do we feel uneasy. out
of place, gaucheP
Discounting, for purposes
of discussion, such vestigal
Puritanism as we all are
heirs to, the reason seems to
stem from Aristotle's defini-
ton of art as the imitation
of life. Imitation, the early
critic went on to say, is a
likeness and q difference.
give la difference" the
French Chamber Of Deputies
once voted in another con-
nection, and the trouble with
these velvet nudes is their
lack of difference. Likeness is
all and it isn't enough. Or
it's too much.

ObeIisk

Yet another Latin artist is
on view as the seasons open
er at the Obelisk Gallery. Da-
vid Manzur of Colombia ap-
peared in 1861 at the Pan
American Union. The ObeliSk
presents a one-man show Of
20 paintings in which he
demonstrates complete COM
mand of a gentle, poetic
imagery.
At first sight there isn't
much image in Mr.. Manzur's
suite, dim canvases. But
it's there, all right, and can
readily be found as the re-
ward of attention.
1t is rewarding, too. In
theory Mr.. Manzur's work
ought to relate to Cubism.
He paints, for mple, a
three picture set about" the
death of a bird, and a four
picture set Of elements Of"
the sea, a lutte, q bird and
an angel respectively. But
the implied analysis Is far
from Cubist. Not appear
ances, not volumes, are being
analysed usually. R a t h er
moods are subjected to visual
analysis. Objects are loosely
suggested - the body of a
bird, the shape of a lutte, the
power of an angel - and
bathed in light, sometimes
dim, sometimes bright. AL of
this is placed in perceptible
space. We are aware of hori-
IONS, Of near and far, of eli
matte and temporal condi-
tions-the latter usually dusk
or night. Yet none Of these
things is specifically repre-
Sented.
Because there is so very
little in the way of direct,
visual representation. we are
free to follow the painters
suggestion and feel the sad
ness in such a thing as the
death of a bird. the music
that may come twanging from
a lutte, the infinite world re-
vealed in the multifoliate rose.
Rose, lutte and bird, all are
present if you look, but all
are present chiefly as point
of departure for voyages into
sensitivity conducted with
care and skill.

Bosch and Breughel live
again in the more linear
drawings, Goya does so in the
more painterly. Perhaps the
most CHASTITY obejct is a
painted head, Anguish,
which seems to have been
taken right off the far wall
of the Sistine Chapel.
Occasionally the vision fall
tiers and an image Of total
despair becomes instead an
image from the imaginative

line holds and we study the
way in which art can use the
external figure to body forth

Mining Interests Pass Bill Over
 'F & WI Protests

JUNEAU ts - Mining interests won out after a two-hour battle in the House Monday with the passage of bill which would loosen the control of the Fish and Game Department over the use of inland lakes and rivers. The measure would allow min- ing operations on inland waters without receiving permission from the Fish and Game Department
 Operations which might damage salmon spawning beds would have to be reported to the Commis- sioner of Fish and Game, how ever, and any damage to such beds would be the responsibility of the operator.
 The battle waxed hot and heavy at times.
 At one point. Speaker Warren Taylor one of the sponsors of the measure, forgot his official role as referee in the House and joined the debate from the speakers roStrum.
 He stopped short, however, cracked his gavel and dutifully ruled himself out of order.
 The measure eventually passed the House by vote of 32-7 and was sent along to the Senate for action.
 Rep. Frank Chapados another sponsor of the bill, said under present fish and game enforce ment practices, mining operators must hold up work until they are given official permission to pro- ceed- Even then, Chapados said, such permission is subject to can cellation by Fish and Game au- thority.
