From coast to coast, no major exhibit of contemporary art these days is complete without the zap of neon, the wink of a wiggle bulb, the spiral shadows of alumia or the ghostly glare of minimal fluorescence. M.I.T.'s Hayden Gallery was jumping last week with the flickering lights of Venice Biennale Prizewinner Julio Le Fare's black-and-white Pulsating Lights and other works of artists exploring light as an artistic medium. For the Los Angeles County Museum's forthcoming "American Sculpture of the Sixties" show, electricians were readying Stephen Antonakos' Orange Vertical Floor Neon...
Critics may rail at the technological supercharge of the "light brigade." Artists wail at the fragility of their new medium (fuses blow, bulbs burn out). But almost any exhibit that lights up in a gallery draws people like moths to a candle, or like children gazing into a burning hearth. In the following color pages, TIME reproduces the work of twelve luminal artists (and one luminal committee), photographed in galleries and studios in the U.S., France, West Germany and Britain...
...paintings of Morris Louis (1912-1962), temporarily on exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, embody the contemporary feeling of bewilderment at the task of understanding a world which continually eludes rational explanation. Although modern man's accuracy becomes greater and his reason more profound, the enigmas increase and the solutions recede even further. In the same way, Louis' mature paintings provide more questions than answers. The more the viewer attempts to structure the space and to define forms in the picture, the more elusive they become...
...Viet Nam has given rise to what might be called selective pacifism. Relatively few clerics condemn fighting under all circumstances, but Protestant churchmen exhibit pacifist reflexes about Viet Nam. This is noticeably less true of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, although many priests have joined Protestants in peace marches, vigils and the signing of petitions. Few advocate flat-out U.S. withdrawal, and many (the number is impossible to estimate) perhaps support the U.S. stand without making themselves heard. The war often reduces the divided Protestant witness to hand-wringing statements, such as that of the National Council on December...
Galileo. Bertolt Brecht believed that historical forces rendered the individual obsolete and, paradoxically, wrote plays in which flawed, split, and roguishly tenacious personalities like Mother Courage and Galileo exhibit a passion for survival that dwarfs history and dominates the stage. Galileo, offered last week at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, is like a formal ballet of the mind in which the prince of science and the princes of the church dance out their accustomed roles. But for Western civilized man, Galileo's recantation before the Cardinal Inquisitor (Shepperd Strudwick) has the power and poignance of Socrates drinking hemlock...
