Tuesday's issue of the Daily Ne
braskan. Impressionist
Art Exhibited
At Galleries
The Abraham Rattner art ex
hibit now at Morrill Hall shows
some of the best work of one of
America's leading painters. Ratt
ner's work, at first glance apt to
appear surrealistic, is actually
classed as impressionistic, the con
tinual appearance of faces and
projections of color inciting the
surrealistic accusation.
At first appearing artless, the
paintings after careful surveil
lance indicate careful and metic
ulous planning applied to each tiny
figure. Rattner has many human
figures mixed up in his paintings.
and it is sometimes difficult to
discover them. Good practice is
afforded by the picture, "Compo
sition of Fige Figures."
Subtle Backgrounds.
A subtle background of satire Is
conveyed in several of the works.
"The Market" pictures a grocery
store with a lot Tt people grouped
in the shape of a fish, staring at
the prices. "Clown and King"
shows a clown with one green eye
and one red one.
The entire display assumes a
self-division that is noticeable at
once. There are some still lifes
and romantic- landscapes, as "The
Calmer Type," and there is the
second type consisting of the vivid
eccentric designs.
Abraham Rattner, having won
top awards throughout the coun
try first prizes in the Pepsi Cola
art contest and the Pennsylvania
Academy's 140th annual display
is considered a leader in American
art. Some characteristics of his
technique have a French influ
ence, but, as an individual, he is
entirely original. His present show
show here is tops in interest and
should create enthusiasm on the
campus.
