Abstract Designs Provide Exhibit
Highlights in Annual Art Show
From an abstract design, the
favorite of art students, to a
pink shandstone elephant, the de
light of school children, the 59th
annual exhibition of contempor
ary art offers an almost limitless
selection for "favorites.
Sponsored by the Nebraska Art
Association, the exhibit has
brought to Lincoln for the month
of March a collection of paintings
by some of the outstanding artists
of today.
OXE OF the most popular col
lections in the show is the group
of "primitives." In art, primitive
refers to a painter who has little
or no formal art training. Ac
cording to Prof. Dwight Kirsch,
director of the University Art
Galleries, one of the paintings in
this group which has been attract
ing much attention is "Mount
Nebo in Winter" by Grandma
Moses. The country scene is
typical of those the painter is
famous for.
AN UNUSUAL painting by Rus
sian artist David Burlink, "From
the Market," has also created a
lot of curiosity, Professor Kirsch
says. The oil painting uses very
thick paint contrasted with
smooth paint to create an illusion
of depth.
MANY OF TIIE paintings in
the exhibit .though not especially
noticed when the exhibit opened,
have been gaining in popularity.
A protrait of artist Max Beck
mann, by Karl Zerbe, sometimes
creates an "impression of horror"
when first seen, because of the
green coloring of the face in the
p i c t ure. However, Professor
Kirsch points out, the coloring
and compostion of the picture
grow on you" and the painting
has become a favorite with many
visitors. Another paintings which
is gaining in popularity is "Two
Puppets," by William Baziotes,
one of the "modern" pictures in
tthe exhibit.
A number of pieces of sculp
ture are included in the show.
Animals and animal heads are
among the favorite of visitors of
all ages. Children especially like
"Elephant" by John Rood. The
elephant is of pink sandstone, and
"POTLUCK" by Madeline Hewes is an example of the group of
primitive paintings now on exhibition as part of the Nebraska Art
association's 59th annual exhibit of contemporary art Critics have
said that Miss Hewes painting borders on the primitive as a na
tural result of simplification and a naive sense of pattern. Primi
tives are defined as the work of painters who have had no formal
art training, or who are not influenced by any other kind of art.
is placed appropriately against a
bamboo screen. Other animals re
ceiving much attention include
"Stalking Cat" by Hermann
Becker; "Animal Head" by Cleo
Hatrwig and "Tadpole" by John
Baxter.
BEING SHOWN for the first
time in any art exhibit is the
"Portrait of General Pershing" by
Howard Doctoroff. The portrait,
made in 1938, is considered an
excellent likeness by members of
the Pershing family. The picture
is hung against a curtain back
ground and a memorial wreath is
placed below it. Professor Kirsch
said that Mae Pershing, sister of
the late General, was very pleased
with the treatment of the picture
when she visited the show recently.
The show, containing 173 pieces
of contemporary art will continue
until April 3. Students may at
tend at any time, free of charge,
