PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKA We&iesclay, MarcH 23, 1949 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, by presenting their identification cards. I !
