(Continued From Page 1) the Olson estate. In addition to the will, there are several pic tures on display of young Creeley, taken in 1950 and 1952. Also to be noted are a rejection letter from T.S. Elliot for Olson’s “Call Me Ishmael” and some correspondence from Ezra Pound while he was in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. This exhibit is an interesting one, and helps to tie together through these intimate belongings of Olson, some of the well-known figures of Black Mt. especially familiarizing the viewer with the personal character of Charles Olson. Tne second exhibit, that of Albers on display in the Var- dell Gallery, includes a collec tion of his art from private collections as well as his “For mulation: Articulation” series, and is a representative selection of his exploration with color and line. According to Professor Mark Smith, Albers realized that simple geometric structures usually bore people, but in creating this type of structure he was more interested in psychological impact. He ex perimented with color changes and how color is altered in simple squares; using these simple structures in order to see the activity of color changes from opaques to transparent, from heavy to light, and from colorless to colorful. He said of his “For mulation: Articulation” series, from which most of the exhibit is taken, that “this in teraction of color exists in all color combinations to a larger or smaller degree, but in most cases is unrecognized even to the trained eye.” In addition to his ex- Winter Term Art Now hung in the lobby of the Vardell Building is a most im pressive representation of what the ArtDept. turned out during Winter Term, under the direction of Mr. Dale Coleman. In this “Drawing and Watercolor” class, some very interesting and unusual works were produced, ranging from some very nice lan dscapes to very imaginative abstracts. Through this show it is evident that there is definite talent lurking somewhere in the Art Dept. It has been said around campus, in relation to Winter Term courses, that most are merely a waste of time, non productive, and simply boring. This show seems to be a direct contradiction to this generalization. As Mr. Cole man says in the leaflet ac companying the showf' “The work on display represents some of that produced in my Winter Term “Drawing and Watercolor” course. I was particujarly pleased with the results of the class, since every student is well represented in this show even though as a group the students constituted a true cross-sectiffli. Included were three non-art majors (Bill Saunders, Peter White, Tom periments with color, Albers worked with linear per spective and optical illusion in black-on-white and whiteH>n- black lithographs and wood cuts. By means of varying the width of black lines in the geometrical design, he created complicated linear structures which tend to trick BYLEEVANZANDT Ross); at least two students who had begun the year as non-art majors (Louise Robin son, Whitney Hardy); studen ts (such as Beth Buffington) who had previously not had a painting course; advanced painters (such as Lester Dunlap); and some interested in commercial art (John Taylor). Assignments were planned with the intention of developing technique, but even more importantly of developing concept while ex posing the students to a wide range of possibilities in not only watercolor media, but acrylic on canvas, shaped for mats, and three-dimensional aspects. In addition to regular out side assignments, four hours a day in class were required of all students, however many of us regularly spent at least twice that amount in the studio. Most felt that they had profited greatly from the ex perience, while we all seemed to enjoy it. Glimpse With patchwork genius, I hide the idiot. He is alreays there, ready to run free.
