Ackland 's art exhibit features Italian artist The Engravings of Marcantonio Raimondi, the current exhibition at the Ackland Art Museum, focuses on the work of 16th-century Italy's most in fluential engraver through a collection of ' 70 impressions. Evan Turner, Director of the Ackland, called the exhibition "perhaps the greatest contribution to the art world in the history of the museum." The exhibition is the culmination of more than ten years of study and three years of actual collection by Innis Shoemaker, Assistant Director of the Ackland, and Elizabeth Broun, Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Spencer Museum of Art. "In collecting the impressions for the exhibition, the most challenging aspect was to take careful notes to pick the best available print," Shoemaker said. "Mar cantonio's talent and genius is most evi dent when his finest impressions are view ed, as his shadowing and highlighting are . most clear." Marcantonio was born about 1480 in Bologna. He served as an apprentice to Francesco Francia, the painter and medalist. His engravings are signed with the monogram MAF as a tribute to his former teacher. Marcantonio served as the official engraver for Raphael. "The Massacre of the Innocents," based on six drawings by Raphael, may be one of the few works that Raphael designed sepcifically for Marcantonio to engrave. Marcantonio was studied widely by many Renaissance artists, and according to Broun, "artists as diverse as Rem brandt and Poussin, Delacriox and Manet owned and seriously studied Mar cantonio's engravings in the formation of their own style." Marcantonio's greatest contribution to engraving was his invention of a techni que for conveying three-dimensional form through line. "Marcantonio revolutionalized engraving," Shoemaker said. "Working after the drawings of great Renaissance artists such as Raphael, Michelangelo and Bandinelli, he invented a way of sug gesting rounded volumes and creating a consistent lighting for them, as one sees in a painting. Marcantonio's techniques formed the basis for future reproductive engraving." Strasberg dead at 80 The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) Lee Strasberg, who taught "method acting" to a genera tion of stars such as Marlon Brando, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe, died Wednesday of a heart attack. He was 80. The graduates of Strasberg's Actors Studio comprise a virtual Who's Who of American acting: Robert de Niro, Paul Newman, Al Pacino, Jane Fonda and Sally Field, to name others. . In 1974, the master teacher made his movie debut and won an Oscar nomina tion for his portrayal of an aging under world boss in "Godfather II." Such recognition also followed his pupils organizers of an Actors Studio party in 1980 figured Strasberg's students had won or been nominated for 128 Oscars, Tonys and Emmys. Strasberg was stricken at his apartment on Central Park West at 6:30 a.m. and taken to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, where doctors tried to revive him until 7:56 a.m., said John Springer, publicist for Strasberg and the studio.

"Yet even Marcantonio's closest followers never were able to imitate the multiplicity of effects that he achieved with this technique which, in the finest impressions of his works, creates dense, luminous tones, varied textures and pure, rounded volumes," Shoemaker said. Marcantonio's clear, systematic engraving technique reached its peak in about 1515-20. From this period, several works in the exhibition are especially fine examples of his art. In Two Women with the Signs of Libra and Scorpio, Marcantonio was able to render the forceful turning figures sculptural forms through evenly spaced curving strokes that express a full tonal range from dark to light. The design of the work is ascribed to Raphael and is similar in its classical style to another work after Raphael, The Judgement of Paris. This work is now best known because Manet based the figures in the Dejeuner sur I'Herbe upon the reclining river gods and seated nymph in the right of the engraving. In its own day Marcan tonio's Judgement of Paris was a work that led to his recognition and further established his successful career. Events in conjunction with the exhibit include a lecture on Marcantonio by Innis Shoemaker at 8 p.m. Thursday in Room 115 Ackland, a lecture by Elizabeth Broun at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 22 in Room 115 Ackland relating Marcantonio to modern art, a gallery talk by Ms. Shoemaker at 12:15 p.m. March 3, and a seminar on public and private print-collecting at 10 a.m. March 20 conducted by Evan Turner, Ms. Shoemaker, and Katharine C.

Thursday, Report claims lasardons waste local reponibiMty By PETER JUDGE DTH Staff Writer County and city governments have a responsibility in hazardous and low-level waste management, according to a Tri angle J Council of Governments report. Ed Holland, staff researcher for Tri angle J, said the report gives "substance, advice and interpretation to local govern-: ments on an issue that has generated more controversy than you can shake a stick at. "One important thing is the realization that local governments have an important role in the control and management of hazardous wastes in their communities," Holland said. "Towns and counties cannot sit back and wait for the state to roll over local or dinances or for someone to come in and propose a disposal site for the communi ty,4 he said. "The local governments have to take their own initiatives." Holland said the report recommended that local governments take an active role in planning, zoning and research "not just roll over on their backs waiting for something to happen." Donald Willhoit, chairman of the sub committee which released the findings, said the report addressed the issue of hazardous and low-level radioactive wastes on the local level. The state and federal role in waste man agement had been covered thoroughly, but county and town governments did not have much guidance, said Willhoit, who is an Orange County commissioner and UNC Health and Safety Director. "This area has been suggested as a site for a hazardous waste disposal dump," he said. "The report addressed the issue of what, if anything, the Triangle J Coun cil of Governments should do about it." Willhoit said the most important thing to come out of the report was "the recommendation that local governments . should not try to prohibit or stand in the way of these waste facilities. "But if one is located in the commun ity, it is up to the local government to make sure that all safeguards and pre cautions are taken into consideration." The North Carolina Waste Manage ment Act of 1981 contains the "Hardison Amendment," which says that state regu lations could be no more stringent than i,.

"The Hardison Amendment does not apply to cities and counties," Willhoit. said. "So local governments have a very definite rolefin waste management. "The local governments do have the authority to establish additional ordi nances above those of the state and federal governments. "This doesn't mean they won't be challenged in the courts, but the local governments do have this option which the state does not," Willhoit said. Holland said the issue of hazardous wastes is important to just about every body. "It is certainly important to the tri angle area," he said. He said the triangle area produces some unique types of waste through the many research facilities located here, but it produces less waste than some other areas of North Carolina. The committee which produced the re port was composed of a broad spectrum from the communities involved, Willhoit said. "Everyone from the League of Women Voters and the Sierra Club to Carolina Power & Light was involved." The Triangle J Council of Govern ments is a regional planning center lo cated in the Research Triangle Park. The six counties of Orange, Lee, Chatham, Wake, Durham and Johnston are repre sented in the Council of Governments. The Council of Governments is based in the area defined by the Durham Tri assic Basin, a geological formation with many suitable features for a waste man agement facility, the report said.
