Art Museum News and Notes

Dates and Shows The "Sculpture of Herbert Ferber" opened at The

Walker Art Center of Minneapolis (Minnesota) on April 15 and will run there through May 20. The show will then be seen at the following museums: San Francisco Museum of Art, Dallas Museum of Con- temporary Arts, the Santa Barbara Art Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Fifty six

sculptures, from 1932 to the present, plus models and

drawings make up the exhibition. Art educators, anxious to see a development from three dimensional surrealistic abstraction to sculptural abstract expres- sionism, should aim to make this retrospective exhibi- tion by one of the leading avant garde artists of our

country, a "must see" item on their calendar. Now on view and until June 3 is the 13th National

Print Biennial at the Brooklyn Museum (New York).. The exhibition consists of work by 128 artists selected from 1800 entries. Una Johnson, Curator of Drawings and Prints of the museum, said, "In this cross section of accomplished work, many new names appear with the more familiar and well established print makers.

Together they continue the chronicle of a robust and venturesome expression." The memory of this reviewer is studded with unforgettable images from past Brook-

lyn Museum Print Biennials. This current show con- tinues the tradition of presenting the most qualitative contemporary efforts in the field of graphic art.

Speaking of prints, the Knoxville Art Center of the Frank H. McClung Museum at the University of Tenn- essee will show recent work in graphics, watercolor, and drawings in the Second National Exhibition to be held there from April 23 to May 13.

From May 1 to May 31 the Joslyn Art Museum of Omaha (Nebraska) will be the host to the traveling "Tutankhamun Treasures" exhibition discussed in this column several issues ago.

Visitors to the Seattle Art Museum (Washington) can see Paintings by Kenneth Callahon and Walter Froelich until April 29.

An exhibition dealing with the theme of the inter-

dependence of the visual arts titled, "The Total Image" may be viewed at The Akron Art Institute (Ohio) from April 22 to May 27.

The Hunterdon County Art Center at the Old Stone Mill in Clinton (New Jersey) will present their 6th National Print Exhibition through April 30.

The 21st Ceramic National, a touring exhibition, will be at the Albany Institute of History and Art

(New York) from May 1 to May 27. At the moment, exhibitions by Fernand LUger and

Antoni Tapirs can be seen at the Guggenheim Mu- seum in New York (New York). These shows will continue through April 29. Shortly thereafter, the

Guggenheim will hold a retrospective exhibition of

paintings by Philip Guston from May 3 until July 1.

(Student groups of 10 or more, including the teacher, may be admitted to the museum for 25 cents each instead of the usual 50 cents from Tuesdays through Saturday noon. Visits must be scheduled by letter or phone, at least two weeks in advance, and if cafe- teria facilities will be needed this should be mentioned. This could well prove to be a rewarding field trip which will provide learners in art first-hand contact with significant contemporary painting as well as a

fascinating example of work by the late Frank Lloyd Wright.)

Several special exhibitions to be seen at the Art Institute of Chicago (Illinois) are well worth taking note of. They include:

Young Children's Art from the Chicago Public Schools: April 26-May 6

Weaving by Ray Ginstram: through May 20

Photographs by Howard Dearstyne: through April 29

The Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse (New York) is showing two exhibits entitled "The Hudson River School" and "Masters of American Watercolor" until May 13 and from April 29 to May 6 an exhibit of work by children from the Museum's Saturday Morning Classes will be shown.

MUSEUM NOTES . . . Irom page 12

Mrs. Adelyn D. Breeskin, who will retire in June as director of the Baltimore Museum of Art, will be- come the first director of the newly founded Washing- ton Gallery of Modern Art in October. Following her brief retirement period, she will devote her time to

expanding current interest in contemporary art in the

capital. Since Mrs. Breeskin became director of the Baltimore museum in 1947, one of her principle ef- forts has been in creating an awareness and apprecia- tion of modern art, especially since the museum is the only one in the city to concern itself with this

phase of art. Mrs. Breeskin's successor at the Balti- more Museum of Art will be Charles P. Parkhurst, director of the Allen Art Museum at Oberlin College in Ohio.

The Washington Gallery of Modern Art will be located in a renovated three-story building which was

formerly the carriage house on the estate of Lars Anderson. It is at 2118 Massachusetts Avenue just off duPont Circle.

James Bovard, the president of Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, recently announced the

resignation of Gordon Bailey Washburn as Director of the Department of Fine Arts, effective July 31. After September 4, Mr. Washburn will be gallery director of Asia House in New York City, the home of the Asia Society. This position, Mr. Washburn has

said, will offer him an opportunity to work in the rich and artistic field of Asian art which has long held a strong interest for him.

CEZANNE . .. from page 10

issues of freedom and order were most clearly drawn,

many developments parallel the attitude and to some

extent the formal procedures of CUzanne. But in the

arts the attempt to flee the boundaries of eternal, classical

form led variously to the mere exquisiteness of Verlain, to the profound impressionism of Flaubert, the poetic vehemence of Van Gogh, or to Seurat's positivistic aesthetic. Nowhere appears an artistic phenomenon com-

parable to CUzanne with his inutitive power to achieve

absolute order outside absolute conditions.
