New York artist shows lithographs at Spencer
By JENNIFER FINE
Staff Reporter
Two new exhibits dealing with idealism and the imaginative in art opened yesterday at the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art.
The two exhibits, "Form Illusion Myth: Prints and drawings of Pat" and "The Literate Dream in Modern China," will be on display through Feb. 27.
THE COLLECTION of Pat Steir works includes about 60 litigations, drawings and prints by the New York artist. Her work has been shown in Europe and America during the last 10 years.
Jan Howard, a Spencer museum curator, said Steir was a conceptual artist whose work was about ideas rather than objects. She said that Steir did one of her series of drawings when she awoke in the middle of the night feeling afraid and decided to work through her fear by drawing. The sequence of lines and smudges shows a progression from fear to happiness.
"It's hard to just walk into her work and understand it," she said.
Howard and Elizabeth Broun, the museum a acting director, coproduces an exhibit, and a grant
from the National Endowment for the Arts
**STEIR WILL VISIT the University**
Feb. 4 to discuss and show slides of her work. She will participate in a symposium on "The Life Cycle of a Print" on Feb. 5. Coupons for lunches reserved at Spencer. The symposium are available at Spencer.
The "iliterate" refers to the elites and the best educated people of historical China, who in their spare time, liked to paint, write poetry and practice calligraphy.
Nature in its ideal state is the theme of many of the works in "The Literati Dream in Modern China," which draws on various artists from different areas of China.
Li will deliver a speech titled "Interviews with Modern Chinese Painters" on Friday. On Jan. 30 the museum will offer a tour of the exhibition and a film on Chinese culture and aesthetics. Programs for children and a "Literati" afternoon, with painting, poetry and calligraphy demonstrations are scheduled for February.
Other events coming to the museum include a celebration of its fifth anniversary Saturday and a lecture on Mark Baccari. Bulcer Baccari. Bandini on Jan. 28.

(EDITORS NOTE: Ruth Gruber, UPI's Warsaw correspondent, was expelled from Poland last week, accused of gathering "intelligence material." She had served longer than anyone as an accredited American correspondent for a principal news organization in the country.)
Poles expel veteran U.S. correspondent
BERLIN — A friend who spent more than a year in a martial law internment center told me on his release last month that terror without
His words, referring to his own situation and that of other Poles, school sharply in my mind this week.
THE CLUMSY circumstances surrounding my expulsion and the police detention of my office secretary and I must be seen in the context of an escalating campaign by Polish officials against the Western media.
It was a week that began with my first day off since October and ended with a 10-hour drive through snow and rain from Warsaw to Berlin, following my expulsion from the country I had covered since before the birth of the Solidarity labor union movement in the summer of 1980.
By RUTH E. GRUBER United Press International
My secretary was lured to a Warsaw train station Tuesday by an anonymous caller who said a package of film would arrive on a specific train
That very day the official government press office put out a booklet describing Western news reports on island as a "punnyly of garbage."
GOYERNMENT SPOKESMAN Jerzy Urban, when he denounced me at a news conference, made clear that my expulsion was designed as a punishment. I was told to curb contacts with dissidents and members of the opposition.
At least two officials described my expulsion as "bad luck." The expulsion also was clearly designed to send me from contacts with the Western press.
The Polish media had attacked me several times in the past, year, but I had no inking that any action such as this was being prepared against me.
The incident began with the anonymous call saying film would arrive from Gdansk. Under the assumption that this was a routine package of film from a regular photographer we used, my secretary went to pick it up.
SIE DID NOT return. After I spent hours trying to trace her, police came to the office at 6:30 p.m. with a summons for me to go to their headquarters as a witness in a case they refused to discuss.
I was told I would be there for an hour. I was held for nearly 24 hours, during which I was interrogated for about seven hours about the mysterious film package that my questioners said contained photographs of military objects and about my contacts in the provinces.
I spent a sleepless night on an inch-thick mattress in a red and
green painted basement cell, shared with another woman who had been held six days.
One of my colleagues wrote that I was expelled on the surreal grounds that, as the government put it, I had "collected information of an intelligence nature" although "without criminal intent."
NO CHARGES were brought against me.
My exit from Poland was a bit surreal in itself. As I drove toward Berlin in a snowstorm with a U.S. embassy officer and my cat in my car loaded down by luggage, I was stopped for speeding.

They explained they had to give me a ticket, but as one of them said, "I don't know where I live a souvenir from Poland. I drive carefully and have a safe trip."
The young officers in the police car were pleasant and, when they realized who I was, almost treated me as a celebrity.
