Art critique by Carolyn Hull
Papermaking, pottery, painting and prints are just a few of
the shows the Sheldon Art Gallery has scheduled for lively and
interesting viewing this fall.
Just opened, in the first floor south gallery is an exhibit on
"The Art and Craft of Papermaking." The exhibit traces the
origins and development of the material that is widely taken
for granted, from its being molded, in a frame, one sheet at a
time, to mechanized production of huge, continuous rolls 30
feet wide.
The exhibit is done in a series of illustrated panels,
explaining each part of the process. Explained in several panels
is the watermark, a misnomer indicating the design in the
paper which is actually determined by a design in the paper's
mold. Papermarks (a more accurate description) used by
George Washington and Benjamin Franklin are shown.
Page Spence, manager of the gallery's art shop, has a show
and sale of ceramics by Ron Taylor and Dick Robins running
until Oct. 22. The two men have produced items for the show
which range from practical to highly impractical.
More practical pieces include spice jars, cooking bowls,
mugs, ashtrays and boxes done in dark earth tones highlighted
by designs and use of brighter accent colors. Slab pieces,
mostly boxes, were done by Robins and Taylor.
Highly impractical, yes, but a delight to behold are the
show pieces they have included. One is a bright red top and
two others are gumball machines complete with bright silver
glaze and real gumballs inside.
Prints by the late Thomas Coleman, UNL professor, and
Michael Nushawg, UNL School of Art faculty member, are
included in the 22nd National Exhibition of Prints.
The 91-print show, opening in the second floor north
gallery on Sunday was chosen by a jury from 1,746 prints
submitted by 712 artists from around the nation and Puerto
Rico. It is designed to show the character of the most recent
work done by American printmakers.
Concrete Art, an exhibition to be heard as well as seen, will
combine work of Mary Ellen Solt and Ferdinand Kriwet. Solt,
from Indiana University, will lecture on her work at 2:30 p.m.
Oct. 12 and Kriwet will present a program of his films later
this month.
Conrete Art combines the form of words and letters with
their meaning in graphics to comment on the subject. The
exhibit will be here Oct. 10 through November 5.
Selections from the permanent collection are hung in the
second floor south gallery, ranging from portraits to pop. One
gallery features portraits done by Robert Henri, (1905-1929)
an artist who spent his childhood in Nebraska.
Oct. 31 through Nov. 12 the Art Shop will have a special
two week showing of "Toys by Artists." The handmade toys
in editions of 2,500, have the artist's signature and edition
number stamped into the object. In December there will be a
Christmas Fair.
