At the National Gallery Of
Art now may be seen prints
by Mary Cassatt and prints
and book illustrations by
modern artists.
At the Library of Con-
gress may be seen the
current Pennell show of
contemporary American
printmaking.
At the Smithsonian's
graphic arts department
may be seen work by mem
bers of the University Of
Maryland graphic arts work.
shop, plus a handful Of more
or less permanently installed
examples of the various
print processes.
Yet each of these institu-
tons owns the materials
necessary for an exhibition
Of the great achievements
of printmaking from the be-
ginnings some 500 years ago
until today. Such an exhibit
ton, normal in any art
museum for painting and
sculpture, even for pots and
tapestries, is all too rarely
mounted for prints. In
Washington 1t is never
mounted, though it obviously
ought to be a permanent
feature Of the city.
Because of this widespread
institutional attitude toward
prints as the second-class
citizens of the art world, the
lover must do most Of his
looking not in museums but
in private sales galleries.
The Situation Here
Many private sales gal
leries include prints along
with their other merchan-
disc, but there aren't more
than a dozen first-claSs
print galleries in the coun-
try, about half Of them in
New York. Although Bader's
and liza. both do good
work in the modern field,
Washington does not have
a print sales gallery that at
tempts to cover the field.
Oddly enough, Baltimore
does.
The Ferdinand Rotten Gal
leries have been in business
in Baltimore for just over
80 years. at 1913 West Null
berry street. The operation
was founded by Mr.. Rotten,
a stockbroker who saw the
errors Of his ways in 1929
and began his new life as a
frame maker.
Himself an earlier immi-
grant from Germany, Mr..
Rotten drifted into the print
business by trying to help
German refugees raise money
on their prints. Very early

Sells La Mer

Few pieces have such wide
diversity in different hands
than Debussy's La Mer. 1t
can be very lush. It can be
lean and taut. And it can be
something in between, as is
that Of George Sell and the
Cleveland Orchestra on an
Epic record. Sell makes the
most Of the drama, but never
lets 1t get out Of hand. The
orchestra sounds its most
brilliant in Ravel's Daphnis
ct Chloe suite No. 2, on the
opposite side with Payane for
q Dead Princess.

program which it should en-
tail?"
These are strong words,
but they need saying, and
those who are developing
plans for the National Gull
tural Center should be sure
that they have good answers
to Mr.. Kyl's questions. Lots
of other people who are sup
porting the National Cultural
Center are also asking them.
Surely 1t is high time that
the trustees come to serious
grips with the basic problem
of developing a clear-cut pro-
gram for the National Gull
tural Center, in hard-headed,
practical terms, and stop
treating their assignment as
a king-sized real estate VEN
ture.

first be an institution the

Nothing has been done on

a decision here In an honest

First, Is this going to be

Last Monday the House
followed the Senate in pass
ing a bill which gives the
trustees of the National Cul-
tural Center (now increased
from is to 800 an extra
three years to raise the $50
million they need to launch
the enterprise.
Little argument was ex-
pected, since the measure
had bipartisan support, but
a lively debate nevertheless
developed on the floor which
proved to be surprisingly ed
ucational. For some strange
reason, Republicans from
Iowa were very much in EVIL
dence, with Representative
Fred Schwengel pro, and
Representatives H. r. Gross
and John H. XVI con.
Mr.. Schwengel spoke gra-
ciously in favor Of the bill,
but Mr.. Gross was not at
all sure that, even though
nobody was asking the Con-
gresS for money at the
moment, "this $50 to $40
million so-called cultural
center" was not going to be-
come "a load upon the tax
payers of the Sd congress
sional district Of Iowa as
well as every other congress
sional district in the United
States"
He detected no grass-roots
movement for a national
cultural center, even though
it was supposed to be for the
people of the entire country.
Strange as it may SEEM"
he unused. II have not heard
Of q single mass meeting in
Alabama or in Iowa de-
handing the construction of
a cultural center in WASH
ington, D. c."
Thoughtful Words
But it was Mr.. XVI, who
had the most cogent and
thoughtful words to offer,
and they are well worth re-
peating.
IF we were genuinely in
terested in providing q CEN
ter for national culture" he
said, I'VE would do much
more than the commission
has done to this time and
much more than this bill
provides" and I'm afraid he
spoke more truth than po-
etry.
"Is this a national cul-
tural center or is it Just an
opera house for the District
Of Columbian" he asked.
II want to point out to
you that a national cultural
center is not only a building.
If we had a genuine pro-
gram for cultural, for ma
tional cultural, involved In
this debate, then we would
be considering, I think, a
national cultural center in
which it is the program
which is paramount, and not
some building.

BY HERMAN SCHADEN
Star Record Critic

Some Of the most diverting
music Of all is played by
wind groups, Of which the
New York Woodwind Quintet
is a striking example. Four
records featuring the New
Workers, who are frequent
Library Of Congress guests,
have been released by Ever
est. Some of the music is
familiar; some Of 1t recorded
for the first time; all of it
interesting.
One record pairs Francis
Poulenc's witty, sparkling
Sextet for Piano, Flute, Oboe,
Clarinet, Bassoon and Horn
with Wallingford Riegger's
Concerto for Piano and
Woodwind Quintet. Joining
the quintet in each instance
is Pianist Frank Glazer.
POulenc q Delight
Poulenc's skittering and
playful piece is one Of the
landmarks Of its genre, and
never ceases to delight. If
Riegger's contribution Is less
well known, it is worthy of
an introduction. For Riegger
was an inventive American
who had something to say.
Like Charles Ives, he was
an individualist and expert
menter. In its own way, his
Concerto is as dryly witty as
Poulenc's Sextet.
Besides Poulenc, two more
French composers are rep
resented on another disk
pairing Jean Francaix' Quin-
tet for Winds with that Of
Paul Taffanel. Again there is
nothing but uninterrupted
Joy in the music of Francaix.
TaffaneEis next to unknown
to modern listeners, but he
was one Of the finest flutists
Of his day, and as a COM
poser, gives each instrument
a chance to show off. The
andante section, strangely
enough, has a Brahmsian
flavor.
Schubert's Octet
A third recording has three
members of the New York
players combining with the
Fine Arts String Quartet and
double-bassist Harold Siegel
in one Of Franz Schubert's
most ingratiating pieces. the
Octet for Strings and Winds.
opus 1866. For those who
don't know this, now is the
time to get acquainted.
The fourth record is called
Woodwind Encores. Most Of
the pieces (by Reicha, Bar
rows. Wilder. Van Vactor and
Ibert) are bouncy and Juicy.
The longer pieces are a rather
somber Variations on a Folk
Song by Sweelinck and Mil

bought-as If they were

good quality, are sold as
what they are and at ap-
