NU Art Galleries To Have
Special Exhibitions In July
A special program of exhibitions
and events for the month of July
was announced -today by the Uni
versity Art Galleries.
The University Galleries have
been completely rearranged for
the summer and will feature dis
plays of material selected from
the permanent collections.
Visitors will be offered an op
portunity to see paintings, sculp
ture, prints and drawings which
are not ordinarly displayed during
the winter season. These objects
have been chosen from the F. M
Hall and Gregg collections owned
by the University and from' the
collections of the Nebraska Art
Association and the Lincoln
Artists' Guild.
First of the featured exhibitions
is composed of material from the
recently established collection of
student art. The present showing
consists of twenty-seven items se
lected from the 1951 Student Show
and serves to illustrate the work
of the Art Department at all
levels of study.
Specially installed for the sum
mer months is a second exhibition
entitled, "How to Look at Ab
stract Pictures." It has been as
sambled from the University col
lections to illustrate the many
ways in which present day artists
are using the language of abstrac
tion.
The exhibition begins with the
super-realism of Luigi Lucioni's
Arrangement in White, a still life
composition acquired by the Uni
versity in 1934 and a long time
favorite among visitors because of
its careful drawing and realistic
color.
Superficially this picture is an
example of an almost photographic
approach to painting. Actually, as
will be shown by analytical draw
ings in the exhibition, it is an
example of the artist's basic con
cern with the purely formal
problem of the arrangement of
forms and color in space.
Actually it is an abstraction of
the most basic kind. With this
painting as a starting point the
exhibition proceeds through a se
ries of pictures which show the
more and more inventive manipu
lations of form and color which
characterize so much of recent
American painting.
Some of the most important of
the University's pictures are used
in this context, watercolors by
Demuth, Sheeler, and Marin, and
oils such as Stuart Davis 'Arch
Hotel' which is nationally famous
as an example of the artist s work.
A large group of pictures has
been organized to illustrate for
the student and the average visit
or the various kinds of abstrac
tions in use today, ranging from
the purely two-dimensional and
non-representational picture to
the picture which not only main

ntaional press and publications
division. (Journal Photo.)
tains the traditional concern for
space, but also utilizes a "wide va
ciety of natural, architectural, or
mechanical forms drawn from life.
These exhibitions will be the
central feature of the special
Tuesday evening tours of the Gal
leries, which are to be offered on
July 10, 17 and 24. These tours
which are scheduled for 8 p.m
will include comment on the ex
hibitions .. and special discussion
periods In which questions can be
answered. .
The speaker for the first of
these tours on July 10 will be
Norman A. Geske, assistant direc
tor of the Galleries.
Because Morrill Hall is not or
dinarily open in the evening dur
ing the summer months attend
ance on the tours will be by regis
tration only.
Registration may be arranged
either in person or by telephone,
at the Student Union activities of
fice or the University Galleries,

Arnot Explains
Fate of U.S.
Iinus Europe
"Without our strength, none of
the nations in the world in their
present status would have any
hope of standing off Soviet ag
gression, nor could we stand
alone."
This statement was made Mon
day evening by Charles P. Arnot,
assistant chief of the Department
of State's International Press and
Publications division, when he
spoke in connection with the sec
ond All-University clinic.
"Let's say that Europe fell," he
said. This would mean that the
Soviet would then control in all
its resources more than one bil
lion people. "Its steel capacity
would jump to 89 million tons a
year compared to our 97 million
tons a year," he stated.
It would command coal pro
duction of over 750 million tons
against our 550 million tons per
year, he added.
"It would have electric energy
of 350 billion kilowatt hours while
ours would be 400 billion," he
added. Their manpower would be
seven times as great as ours and
their productive capacity about
equal to ours.
This is why, he stated, we can
not, as they say, "go it alone" in
the fight against communism.
Arnot is a native Nebraskan
and has served in his present
status since November of 1950
when he returned from an assign
ment with the Office of the U. S.
High Commission in Germany.

U. S. story to the German popu
lation through newspapers and
periodicals. Prior to that, he was
manager of the United Press Bu
reau in Berlin for two years, cov
ering developments throughout
Germany and Poland.
Arnot worked nine years with
the United Press, starting in the
Lincoln bureau which he headed.
After an assignment with the
U. P. in New York, he spent two
and one-half years as a war cor
respondent in the Pacific. Trans
ferring to Europe in 1945, he
worked for U. P. successively in
London, Paris, Oslo, and Berlin.

ence for U. P. in July, 1945.

with the Fremont Tribune, where
