DEAR FOLKS:

DEAR FOLKS:
When we buy ice cream
in the carton and place II
in our freezer unit Of the
refrigerator, it seems to melt
and be slightly soft.
We solved this problem
by opening the pint con-
tainer when we get home
from the store and slicing
it.in about two-inch thick
nesses with a knife.
We then place these
slices in an ice tray which
has been lined with waxed
paper. Make the bit Of
waved paper large enough
so that it will fold back
over the top Of the ice
cream to keep frost from
forming. This way our ice
cream is always hard.

ObeIisk

It's good news today that
the 0belisk Gallery is open at
last for its new season. The
opener is a group of drawings
and water colors by Robert
Andrew Parker and the show
is a joy to the eye.
Mr.. Parker, using a single
brush on wet paper, gets an
effect somewhat like finger
painting with very large fin
gers and the work profits from
the suggested simplicity of
that technique. The water col
ors, however, are far from
simple. Color effects within
the large single strokes range
from deep to light and the
strokes build the objects and
atmoSphereS.
There are occasional memo
rieS Of the English painter Ba-
con, especially in a portrait of
a dog in space-that's picture
space, not NASA space, and,
for that matter, not a NASA
dog. 1t is not a question of
borrowing but apparently of
related views of the world.
The same theme is pursued
further than Bacon has done
in a series of brush-stroke
portraits of two chimps in the
zoo.

er, comes to mind in the love

SR1~A WIS NfA~N~Aa
right, the three shows are
well worth taking in.
It's Still Sukiyaki
The quickest to take in is
the Modern japanese CALI
graphy show at the Jewish
Community Center. Writ
large, in flown 6 japanese
characters, are several dozen
examples Of pure writing, &C.
companied by typed-out trans
lations. The verses, epigramS
and Suhyah recipes lose just
about everything In transla-
ton, but it doesn't matter be-
cause the characters really
are lovely to look at. The Pal
mer Method was never like
this.
To move from pOthOoks to
pots you move across town to
the Phillips Collection, which
is showing "a Hundred Pots"
by Shoji Hamada, a leading
japanese potter. (Today's is
sue of SUNDAY, The Star
magazine, reproduces a plate
of his
Odd Pots
The pots are an odd and en-
trancing combination of rude
peasant strength with deli
cacy and grace. The rude
strength lies in the clay itself
and in the forms given it. It is
not a refined clay; it retains
the earth from which it came,
thick and coarse. The shapes
are simple and crude, in ev-
cry. example subtly denying
the repetitive grace Of the
potter's wheel.
But upon these rude
strengths are glazed the most
delicate shades and embel-
hshed the most graceful sug-
gestions of figure, usually
bamboo at one remove or
more. Each piece is a re-
markable performance, re-
minding you of nothing in
Western art so much as that
fine old moment when Harpo
would put down the auto horn
and address the harp, or that
other when Bottom the
Weaver would be followed by
Oberon or Titania.
Freer Japanese Nirvana
The center ring, as it must
be in this line of work, is &C.
cupied by the Freer Gallery,
which has newly installed sew
en- rooms full of Japanese art,
including many items now ex-
hibited for the first time and
encompaSsing much of the
achievement of japanese art.
It's a hard art for Western
ers to grasp and perhaps the
heart Of the difficulty stems
from our notion Of progress.
We believe in progress and
our art reflects that belief. It
moves from century to centu-
ry and thus affords a kind of
grid. Japanese art, too, has
its changes, but except to
such as Philip Stern, the
Freer samaurai who installed
the show, the changes aren't
readily discernible and they
aren't discernible at all as
any kind Of progress.
Thousand Year-0ld Art
The old Western idea of the
"timeless" quality of the East
is never more understandable
than in surveying, as we do at
the Freer, over a thousand
years of japanese art. More

Nicholson Gallery

There's also good news in
that at last the 0belisk has
some competition in getting in
high class stuff from the big
town and showing it with flair.
The new Nicholson Gallery,
7O7 G street NV, is across
the street from the Old Patent
Office Building, destined to
become an art cneter some
three years from now when
the N alton a Collection of
Fine Arts, the National Por-
trait Gallery and possibly the
Smithsonian Travelling Exhibi-
ton Service all more in.
The Mickelsons, who we're
probably making frames on
the spot when the building
was still used for patents, a
long time ago, have made the
jump into leadership wit h
style, luck, good New York
connections and, not least i'm
portant, plenty of money.
This distinguished the new
venture at once from the doz-
en- or so new galleries that
open and close a ally,
mostly in historic G eorg E.
town. The place is a model of
exhibition space and should
be closely studied by those
interested.
Seven Famous Artists
For the opening show the
Nicholson brothers are exhib-
iting seven American artists
of national and international
reput and of some variety.
The show as a whole has the
same stamp of beyond-the-
area authority that the 0bel-
iSk has for so long contributed
to life in Washington.
Lon Ct i m e abstractionist
Carl Holly is represented by a
big Arcadia" among other,
S m a Her, items, which i'm
mediately reveals a personal
sensitivity to nature in alb
straction that tended to be OBJ
scured during tn 1865 when
so many artists were aping
the manner without the sub
stance.
In a field of special Wash
ingtOn interest, "color paint
ing" Richard Anuszkiewicz is
seen in a couple of big ones
as one of the very few Ameri-
cans able to 60 on from Al
bers and make something new
and interesting out of his
ideas. The colors shimmy and
shake like Sister Kate.
The other stand-out in the
group is Walter Meigs, with
extremely refined abstrac-
tons of nature-into-paint. The
others are far from run-of-the-
mill but the works on view
are not the major efforts of
these three. Gregorio Presto
Pine silhouetteS trees on white
