El Greco's Portrayals Traced by Professor
It was not until after his arrival in Spain that the work of El Greco began to show the abstract characteristics which presently distinguish him.
This is what a University of Michigan professor told an audience of 100 Friday in the Museum of Art Lecture Hall in the University Lecture "El Greco — An Expressionist Painter."
Using color and black and white slides for illustration, Harold E. Wethey, professor of history of art traced the gradual evolvement of El Greco's well-known techniques.
"It was only after he went to Toledo—then the cultural center of Spain—that he began his innovations with color, space and form," he added.
"EL GRECO'S WORK remained completely Italianized for some time after he went to Spain in 1577," said Prof. Wethey.
"His portrayals began to loose the muscular, heroic characteristics of his former Italian influence. He also began to eliminate the complex backgrounds which were prevalent in the art of the time."
PROF. WETHEY said El Greco's "Burial of Count Orgaz" shows how "his backgrounds gradually came to be little more than tortured, mood-making skies which have no element of depth, space or time. The artist was almost abstract."
The professor said that the lower half of the painting was a realistic frieze of noblemen which has the appearance of individual portraits.
"However," he said, "the upper portion of the picture is in an entirely different language. It contains the exaggerated elongated figures grouped in fantastic positions, the floating draperies, the glacier-like clouds and the dramatic lighting which characterize his work.
‘IN ALL OF HIS later works, El Greco distinguished between the
heavenly and the earthly by clonating the figures and through the use of strange unnatural settings."
In conclusion Prof. Wethey said:
"No master of the pictorial arts had ever ventured into the world of the unknown before El Greco—nor has one ever emerged as successful."

U.S. COMPANIES SEEK GRADUATES FOR FOREIGN TRADE CAREERS
(Advertisement)
U. S. foreign trade is booming and so is the demand for college graduates trained in that field, according to international trade specialists at The American Institute for Foreign Trade, world-famed post-graduate school in Phoenix, Arizona, for the training of young college graduates genuinely interested in a career overseas with U. S. business or government.
R. S. Roberts, vice president of The American Institute and widely-known foreign trade authority, who last year completed 11 years in Brazil as a Sears of Brazil executive, as the originator of the first supermarket chain in Brazil, and finally as a consultant to U. S., foreign, and Brazilian firms, said that U. S. international businesses had invested $32 billion overseas as of last year, representing a 17.2% average increase per year. He placed the earnings from these foreign investments at $3 billion, 700 million. U. S. foreign sales totaled $64 billion, with exports at $21 billion and sales by U. S. foreign subsidiaries at $43 billion of the total.
Roberts, a 1948 graduate of the Institute, applauded the major role played by the 3,000 graduates of this 15-year-old school in the meteoric rise of U. S. foreign trade.
Senator Barry Goldwater, Arizona, member of the Institute board of directors, in a recent speech on the U. S. Senate floor, called American Institute alumni "America's best-trained and most highly-respected corps of goodwill ambassadors." He described the Institute as private industry's training ground for its corps of junior executives in 78 foreign nations.
sought annually at The American Institute for Foreign Trade by more than 500 U. S. international business and banking firms. Fifty percent of the 1960-61 graduates had college majors in liberal arts or sciences. Forty-five percent had majored in business administration.
Graduates in liberal arts, business administration, and science are
Cited by U. S. and foreign industrialists, educators, and high government officials as America's most effectual institution for the practical training of college graduates in foreign trade. The American Institute offers a 3-part curriculum designed to train its potential junior executives in day-to-day foreign trade techniques, the living culture of the peoples of world market areas, and a foreign language. Recruiters from U. S. international firms have made it clear that they equate general cultural knowledgeability, a properly-adjusted attitude toward an overseas career, and aptitude when they select Institute graduates.
Industry and government officials say there is no institution of comparable stature where determined college graduates may so effectively groom themselves for a lucrative career abroad. Senator Goldwater predicts that most Americans who become business leaders in trade centers around the world in the next few years will have been trained "specifically at The American Institute for Foreign Trade."

About 250 carefully-screened young men are graduated yearly. The post-graduate course of study lasts two semesters and starts from the beginning both in September and in January.
