Intaglio Prints in Art Exhibit
By Carol Heller
Intaglio prints—produced by one of the most painstaking methods of printmaking—are featured at the art exhibit in the Student Art Gallery at the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
John J. Talleur, instructor of drawing and painting, said intaglio printing, similar to engraving, is not especially difficult, but is very time-consuming.
"It takes about a year to complete a good print," he said.
The works on exhibit include drawings, paintings and sculpture by KU art graduates.
The works are part of the permanent collection of the drawing and painting department. The exhibit will close Nov. 2.

Intaglio printing is similar to the method used in producing dollar bills. It is a copper plate process. A design is scratched on copper through a protective coating, and the plate is then soaked in acid to etch the design.
"And here's the happy bounding flea; You cannot tell the he from she; The sexes look alike, you see; But she can tell, and so can he"—Roland Young.

Mr. Tailleur said he believes the intaglios are indicative of a more mature style than the other works in the exhibit.

"Intaglios can't be done in a flash, and during the long process the artist has time to evolve a statement of his own," he said.

Waller's prints are black and white. The knight print has a dynamic, life-like quality caused by the frank emphasis of muscle structure and the contour-type lines.
The intaglios in the exhibit are "Tree of Jesse" and "Self Portrait," by Harold Boyd, Des Moines, Iowa, and "Barber Shop" and "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," by Bret Waller, Lawrence.
"Self Portrait" is a blending of soft pinks, beiges and browns. It demonstrates the technique of preparing a different copper plate for each color.

One of the paintings which draws the especial attention of viewers is "You and Me, Kwats," by Jerry Buchanan of Wichita. It is a large deep-colored oil depicting two men in conversation. Flesh colored tints and scraps of

tattered paper doilies lend an incongruent twist to the painting.
Another oil painting by Buchanan, "After Tea's Entry," smacks of the hurried life of today's housewife as she dashes from housecleaning to work to supper to club. The painting shows an abstract impression of a woman gulping down a cup of tea.
Two landscape drawings by Edward E. Nichols, Lawrence, are suggestive of Kansas scenery. Executed in a carefree style, one drawing is a blustery, windswept hill scene while its companion drawing shows a grove of trees in evening calm.
Sculpture Exhibited
Among the sculpture exhibits is "Mother and Child," by Bill Albright, Pittsburg, Pa. The pink and flesh colored hue of the alabaster is curiously suitable to the sculpture theme of mother and child.
"Mother's Head" by Wintrop Williams Jr., Kansas City, Mo., is a skillful harmony of hard and soft. The woman's smoothly curved face and faint smile possess a glow difficult to achieve on cold, solid bronze.

Floral prints, once primarily for spring and summer fashions, run throughout the fall collections. But they're of deep hothouse colors, instead of pastel.
The return of the Empire waistline for fall also means the revival of fob jewelry—to be pinned, like the old-fashioned stomacher, just under the bosom.
