Corcorun Show Points Way for Government
Sponsorship Of Neglected American Art

the years before World War
II. The art produced In the
actual decade under consider
atoms, mostly the ls5Os, is
rather sparse. There was no
effort at all made to cover all
bets In the current vogue of
abstract expression. Individ-
ual examples are strong
works showing the diverse ex-
cellences Of individual artists
rather than trends or fash
ions.
Add all this up and you get
a picture Of directorial cour-
age and foresight.
For in the 1866, as you
may remember, there was
great pressure on institutions
to zero in on the art Of the mo-
ment. In the view Of many con-
temporary observers, Amer
lean art was at last "com-
ing Of age" an event that has
taken place about every 20
years since Charles Wilson
P eale. Many museums
usurped the traditional role of
the art dealer In m a king
discoveries" and proclaim
ing "breakthrOughs. /" Like the
Third Reich. abstract express
sionism was supposedly des-
tined to ''last a thousand
years" Like tulip buyers in
18th century Holland, pri-
vate and institutional collec-
tors scrambled to get in on
the ground floor Of a sure
thing.
The rest Is history. The art
of the next thousand years
barely made 1t into the SOS.
In some cases, the paintings
OF the new masters began fall
ing apart before the payments
were completed, for all the
world like an automobile or a
washer. Wildly inflated prices
tum b lie d; the international
contemporary art m arket
went into a declin 9 from
which 1t has not yet recov-
cred. A new generation Of art
lists looked anywhere - even
to comic strips and Camp
bells soup cans-rather than
to abstract expressionism as
a guide to the perplexed.
Early Portraits
Now that the ball Is over,
the Corcoran's purchase pol
icy Of the hurricane years
seems extraordinarily astute.
Instead Of being stuck with
several acres Of the rapidly
aging daubs Of the SOS, the
Gallery EN- erges from the
dervish decade with an Amer
lean collection immeasurably
strengthened by buying when
others were selling In the two
centuries Of our art before the
195Os.
Outstanding among the ear
ly portraits Is John Smibert's
cold eye cast upon P eter
Faneuil, whose hall of that
ma m e was a revolutionary
landmark. The show moves
into the burgeoning 18th cen
fury double interest: On the
one hand, increasingly exotic
landscapes Of the Far West;
on the other. homely and hui
morous scenes Of American
life In city and country.
Among the real gems in the
latter group are Richard Ca
ton Wiidville'S waiting for
the Stage" with its Q erie
components Of the man in
green glasses overlooking the
traveller reading the journal
called The Spy; and Alfred
Jacob Miller'S election scene
in Baltimore County.
In the work actually painted
during the d e a de of the
show, Larry Rivers "Self
Figure" Is about as poignant
a statement as was made of
the inner uncertainties haunt
ing many an American artist
of the period. In the paint
language Of the period but
achieving classical harmonies

Old reliable Samuel Bookatz
Is showing a group of paint
ings and drawings at Art Gal
leries, Ltd, simultaneously
with an exhibition Of his reH-
gious works at Washington
H e brew Congregation. The
pictures at the gallery are In
the familiar, entirely satisfac-
tory vein. He draws a beauti-
full line, whether in paint or
charcoal, and successfully
brings off image after image
Of faces as lines and lines as

and assured modelling.
The Fisher Gallery is show
ing the recent paintings of Ro-

parent In the works. Mrs.
Gaydash is at her best in
closeup views of NUNS and

with knives and careless rap
ture. In architectural scenes,
both indoor and outdoor, the
carelessness beats the rapture
with ease.

easily warmed, several Of

bly, the pale beige paintings
by A. Gisson of beaches, gar
dens and museum interiors,
and a sparkling, old-s lyle
"Soiree" by w. DurOc. Rep

are Pietro Lazzarri, the Omni-

Diane Gladstone Is having
her first one-woman show at

Gladstone strikes the eye as a
reasonably competent student,
more practiced In drawing
than in painting and without a
great deal to say beyond her
own obvious delight in art. In
a few works, that's enough,
but mostly it isn't.

By FRANK GETLEnN
Ar Critic Of The Star

AT CtAtiG VI Inc sal
The Senate Of the United
States, as Is proper, has con-
nectons with all facets Of
American life including the
vending machine industry.
This past week, by pure coin
cidence, the Senate was con-
nected with a new exhibition
at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art.
Up at the New Senate Office
Building, a special sub-com-
mittee, headed by Sen. Clai-
bourne Pell, conducted hear
ings on bills to establish a Ma
tional Arts Foundation and a
National Council on the Arts.
Mincing Steps
Both proposals are very
timid, tiny steps toward
bringing the United States
into line with the entire re-
corded history Of m a n kin d
and with the all but universal
practice Of present day gov
ernments In the arts. Whereas
the overwhelming majority of
governments Of the past and
present officially regard the
arts as good things for the hui
man society, the United
States Government regards
them as non-existent.
Like all national a d m n
istrationS since the New Deal,
the New Frontier Is a lot han
der at making encouraging
statements a bout the arts
than It Is at actually unleash
ing three dollars Of the tax
payers money in that direc-
ton. The proposed legislation
would ease that inhibition, at
least to the extent Of 5 million
the first year, an annual 10
million thereafter. Not much
but better than nothing.
All One-Sided
A curious result Of that his
torical bipartisan inhibition Is
that, on opposite sides of the
Mall, the Government contrib
utes handsomely to the up
keep Of the National Gallery's
splendid array Of master
pieces Of European painting
and to that Of Asiatic art at
the Freer Gallery, but, except
for the rather shabby housing
Of the National Collection Of
Fine Arts, allows American
art to have no presence at all,
or a very dim one, In the ar
tistic scientific educational
mechanical-indu tor
Observation-Disclosures
comical nonesuch that is the
Smithsonian in all its works
and all its pomps.
At this point, just as In the
vending industry, our basic
cultural principle comes into
play. Which is: The people
must do for the Government
that which the Government is
unable to do for itself.
In American art, the people
involved have been those Of
the Corcoran Gallery Of Art,
from its 18th century founders
to the present-day members,
trustees, auxiliary organiza-
tons, staff and especially the
director, Hermann Warner
Williams, jr.
The Corcoran b cyan life
with the normal 18th century
ambition to be a survey of the
best that has been painted
and sculpted In Western art.
At some point there dawned
the institutional realization
that Government wasn't going
to lift a finger for the sake Of
American art in the American
capital. Periodically, the Cor
coran shouldered the burden.
More and more, in recent
years, its own direction has
been shifted from the general
survey Of all the worlds art
to intensive concentration on
our own.
Results Of the last 10 years
Of that shift are now on view
at the Corcoran in the form of
aspecia ! exhibition, ''Pro-
gress Of an American CoIlec-
tion."

jefferson Place

Ben Summerford, head of
the art department at Ameri-
can University, last year took
a sabbatical and spent it in
Spain, concentrating on paint
ing. The results Of the trip are
now on view at the jefferson
Place G allery and amply
prove once more the advan-
tages of travel for the artist.
Or perhaps they simply
prove that any good artist can
profit greatly from a long pc
riOd Of uninterrupted work:
No classes, no lectures, no
committees, just work. Ben
Summerford certainly has
done so. The work on view is
at the very top Of area paint
ing seen around here in
months.
In a lovely series of some
what abstract flower paint
ingS, Mr.. Summerford beauti-
fully gets three things for the
price of one almost every
time. The new work technical
ly resembles that Of Nicholas
De Stael, In being built of
paint Swatches the way a
piece of contemporary sculp-
ture might be built of steel
sheets. And the Swatches tend
toward the square.
The colorS are set within a
surrounding world that is al
most always luminous gray,
also in square, thick swatcheS
of paint. The paint smears
are at once themselves the
necessary references to the
color relations Of bouquets on
tables, and parts of intricate
structures of planes in the
general cubist tradition. The
gain in Spain is mainly in the
planes, which add up to a
newly lyrical and powerful
contribution to the "after alb
straction" period Of Washing
ton art.

The newcomer had been IN
New York just five weeks,
having arrived from Chicago,
where he appeared for nine
months IN a revue at the Edge
water Beach Hotel, and for
six months at the Del Prado

It a few days later.

It's an impressive show,
