...shape is usually differentiated from the surface of the canvas by the line enclosing the shape. A black line or a black blotch on a white surface creates the illusion of "relief," just as surely as a seated figure seems separate from the picture plane. The painters of the exhibit tend to reject relief and explicit bounding lines in favor of a more homogeneous surface area. Paint is exploited for its own abstract properties. The colored surfaces imply nothing but colored surfaces, demanding the viewer's interest solely in the value of their interrelationship...
...View from the South," an exhibit of photographs from Montgomery and Selma, Ala., taken by Glen J. Pearcy '66, a CRIMSON photographer, will open today in Quincy House...
...current exhibit at the Ward Nasse Gallery (118 Newbury St.) should be of interest to the Harvard community, for it shows the recent drawings of Albert Alcalay, instructor in Drawing at the Carpenter Center. The story of this artist's success seems almost story-bookish. Imprisoned in 1941 for being a Yugoslavian Jew, he talked his way out of one concentration camp by persuading a Nazi colonel that his artistic future should not be destroyed. Recapture, in another camp, he used his abilities to forge false documents and again he escaped. After the liberation, he made his way to Rome...
Harold Tovish, another well-known artist, is exhibiting his work at the Swetzoff Gallery (119 Newbury St.) One of this sculptor's fine heads is now on exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts. In his recent work, however, he seems to have gone spectacularly astray perhaps under the influence of Pop art. Here he is displaying pieces constructed since 1962, with prices starting at $6000. I am puzzled about why such an artist and a gallery should go to so much trouble over objects of so little interest, but perhaps other will disagree...
...recent wood sculpture by Hugh Townley. He is an extremely talented artist, whose work seems among the most interesting of recent sculpture. I prefer his large reliefs made up of several types of wood, but his oversized "chessmen" and his colored drawings are also fine. Unfortunately, the current exhibit is somewhat thin. There are no recent works of major scale, and I am afraid that the New York branch of this gallery may have sold off the best things there...
