Nowadays pop art has made Rivers respectable. To even the most apocalyptic, often reluctant, critics, he appears as the logical, stable span between Pollock, Kline and De Kooning and the newcomers who actually attach real beer cans to their paintings. His 155-work exhibition that opens this week at Brandeis University's Rose Art Museum,* proves that Rivers is exciting in his own right. Even the commonplace cliché of General George fording the Delaware looks good beside a giant representation of a Campbell soup can. The crucial difference is that Rivers, unlike the pop artists, does not leave...
...might be married, with two kids, stand only 5 ft. 1 in. in his socks and wear his hair like a scrub brush. But he was obviously going places, and so Andrea Kline, a Queens teen, picked Astronaut Gus Grissom, 39, for her private hero four years ago, sent him letters and gifts and kept hoping that one day . . . Now Gus and John Young were safely down from their Gemini voyage into space, and in Manhattan for the parades and banquets. Into the Waldorf-Astoria marched Andrea, and ran right up to the dais, where she handed the startled Grissom...
Building His Dream House. The price De Kooning commands is not negligible. Last month one of his works reached an alltime high auction price of $40,000. With his peers in the abstract expressionist movement either dead, like Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline, or caught in a price slump, De Kooning finds his reputation still ascending. Last year he became the second painter (after Andrew Wyeth) to receive the President's Medal of Freedom, and presently finds dealers on both coasts bidding and jockeying for the honor of giving him a one-man show...
...name dropping. As he could learn from another expatriate, the late T. S. Eliot, it is the poetry, not the footnotes, that made The Wasteland great. Kitaj himself admits that most of his catalogue explications are, he cheerfully confesses, "Red herrings." Though he greatly admires the work of DeKooning, Kline and Pollock, he objects to total abstraction. "I'm likely to be moved by what is peripheral to the picture itself," says Kitaj. "You can't make a mark on a canvas that's not redolent of something you know outside the painting...
...already assured. Hard-edge and pop artists today acknowledge that they owe a clear debt to him. But he was "deeply moved by the response of the youngest generation," aged seven to twelve years, who have rated him No. 1 among such company as Cézanne, Franz Kline, Ben Shahn, Van Gogh and Robert Indiana. Some 300 children at U.C.L.A.'s University Elementary School preferred slides of Sheeler's work to those of any other artist. Their art teacher suggested last year that they write to the artist and tell him so. Their letters are among Sheeler...
