The town is lucky in having
a couple of excellent new
painters presented to it right
now. The first is at the Agra
Gallery, Richard Olney, an
American in Paris and one of
the most disciplined and ac-
compliShed painters seen here
in some time.
He has some small land
ScapeS that suggest Cezanne
and some very lyrical still
lifes, but the show hits its
highest notes with the figure
paintings, most of them am
bilious and successful efforts
at combining structure with
comment.
There isn't a false note or
an uncertainty in the show,
but especially good are a por-
trait of the writer James
Baldwin and a beautiful,
full = length painting of a
seated and slightly bloated

details of dress and skin are
pored over and painted with
hallucinatory intensity. Anal
ysiS of Mr.. Olney's style yields
elements from the French,
the English and the Germans,
which makes him an authen-
tic American original of
power and maturity.

Mr.. Rowe is particularly good
at old wood that's slipping

has an unpeopled upper stair

more strongly in the same

falls flat on his face from

Why and how is a university

Richmond's Mellon Show Is Treat

RICHMOND. - With its
usual flair, the Virginia Mu-
scum of Fine Arts today
opens to the public an i'm
mense exhibition from the
collection of Virginians Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Mellon,
Painting in England 1900
1880"
Rarely has the superb ex-
hibition style of the Rich
mond museum been so per-
fectly blended with an event
of major art historical i'm
portance. Although the mon
umental Importance of the
Mellon Collection is evident
in a fast glance into any
single gallery, the truth is
the material, for the non-art
historian, can well use the
enlightened razzmatazz in
which Richmond leads the
country.
Painting in England from
100 to 1850 encompassed an
awful lot of highly uninter-
esting work and the Mellon
Collection owns acres of it.
The Importance of the COL
lection is that it thoroughly
surveys the vast ground of
art in England in which its
greatness finally grew. The
beauty of the collection is
that the moments of great
ness are themselves well-rep-
resented.
Sir Joshua
Of the great names in Eng
liSh painting of the period,
only one is missing, Sir
Joshua Reynolds, and this is
by design. The closest ap-
proach is a full length lady
portrait by Johann Zoffany,
who could be called the imi-
tation Sir Joshua if it were
not at least arguable that
the chief imitation Sir Joshua
was Sir Joshua.
The dedication of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mellon has resulted in
an extraordinary collection.
There are just over 450 items
in the show, the majority
oils but with a good repre-
sentation of water colors and
drawings. The formal Schol-

ings at the IFA. 1t is heart
ening that his own painting
in no way resembles that of
his literary subjects. Mr..
Perlman has absorbed the
lessons Of the decades since
then and paints in bright and
dark swathes of paint which
reveal pleasant and calm city
scenes and some figures. He

ferent from some goth CEN
tury Virginians. One similar
ity was horse worship and
there are dozens of what
amount to icons of favorite
bangtails. Then, just as me-
dieval Christian painting
suddenly began coming to
life in the 14th century, so
here amid the liturgical OBJ
jects of horse-worship, the
work of StubbS appears. The
horses are still there. Stubs
was as crazy over them as
anyone. But other things reg
istered on him, too.
The English sky was one
thing. The English land was
another. These became alive
in his work and in the work
of other painters. Eventually
they me more than
themselves in the land and
sky of Constable, the water
and sky of Turner.
The Lesser Known
Both these m asters are
strongly present at Rich
mond, especially Constable.
There are some strong Gains
borough portraits and good
landscapes. But the real Joy
in the show is the meeting
with lesser known English
painters of the period and
seeing their individual per-
ceptions. Cotman, for exam
pie, las a passage of coastal
water not too different from
Turner's. Haymans Lovers

English variation on a
French theme, but the land

cured one of the French, but

painter, translates Dutch in

sides the city and shore
scenes, there's a wonderful

arship is presented in an ex-
emplary, fully illustrated,
two-volume, bound catalogue
by Basil Taylor. The sum of
art knowledge has been IN
creased by the total enter
prise. The sum of general
American knowledge about
English painting will be in
creased enormously by the
exhibition. There remained
the problem of public pres
entation. The museum has
solved 1t.
Like COrcOran
The entire building is given
over to the collection, which
will be on view there until
September. The visitor first
encounters a run of color
projections of the English
countryside. Then, in each
gallery, there is a radio COM
mentary, much like the sys-
TEN at the Corcoran. This
new installation will be a
permanent addition to the
museum.
Richmond remains one CT
to take full advantage OF
theatrical lighting possibili-
ties. AS in most of its shows,
light here is shaped to fit the
pictures. General illumina-
ton is down; specific illu-
mination is the shape of the
individual picture and is as
high as needed. In one large
section of reasonably nom
descript landscapes, the pic
lures are hung on projecting
partitions. These areas of
brightness in the overall
gloom become extremely at
tractive. ViStas seem to float
before you. The whole be-
comes a great deal more than
the sum of its parts.
Thus, for the average visi-
tor, a large number of less
than sensational pictures is
absorbed. More, the general
background of English paint
ing is absorbed.
Out of the mediocrity,
things begin to bloom. The

Prof. Feibleman said univer-
sites play the key role in help
ing to prepare the people OF

calls their external inheri-

Specialized Help
What makes up this ex-
ternal inheritance? The cul-
tural achievements of the past
which have been preserved and
handed on through the gener-
ations. The work of Shakes
speare, for example. Or the
work of Einstein. Or that of
Plato, or Skinner, or Ibsen. We
inherit these things, but we
must work to acquire them.
"And this process of work.

heritance is the process of be-
coming educated, becoming civ
ilized, becoming cultured"

points, and true. Universities do
employ many people, who are,
of course, paid salaries. Uni
versities do attract many stu
dents from other parts of the
country. Universities do carry
out research programs which
often benefit the business and
industry of the region.
And these benefits of a uni
versity are appealing to listen
ers because they all have to
do with a regions economy

money, and money is a sub

Basic Values Listed
What, then, are the basic
and really significant ways in
which a university is important
to its region?
Prof. James K. Feibleman,
chairman of the department of
philosophy at Tulane Univer-
sity, has three answers:
/. The university raises the
levels of civilization, of culture,
of understanding in a region.
2. The university prepares
the technical, professional, and
civi leadership of a region.
3. The university, through
these achievements and others,

Opening lead: Heart six.
The answer depends on the
kind Of Jump overcalls that the
opponents are using. Most pres
ent-day experts use weak jump
overcalls; some still cling to
the strong Jump overcalls
that were SO popular ten and
twenty years ago.
If West shows a powerful
hand by his jump overcall, he
must have the ace Of clubs. 1t
is then safe for South to win
the first trick and lead the king
Of clubs. West will have to win
the trick, and South still has q
second stopper in hearts.
This play is not correct If
West has made q weak jump
overcall. In that case East
surely has the ace of clubs.
If South wins the first trick
and knocks out the ace of
clubs, back will come another
heart. This viii put West in
position to take the rest of
the hearts, and South Is down
two.
South can make the contract
by refusing the first trick.
East continues with another
heart, and this time South
plays the jack. The hearts are
now dead, and the defenders
can get only three heart tricks
and the ace Of clubs.
In a rubber bridge game you
usually know what kind of
overcalls your opponents use.
If they have an understanding
on the subject, they should GER
tainly tell you. In q tournae
ment, the opponents list their
conventions on a special card
SO that you can tell which kim
Of Jump overcalls they favor.
You can go wrong only in
a certain kind of rubber bridge
game In which the opponents
aren't very clear about what
they are doing. It then boils
