"Where the Best of Riders Quit" 1920 bronze by Charles Marlon Russell. Exhibit at Spooner Art Museum through Jan. 4.
Women's art axes myths
"The Art of Women: A Panorama of Achievement," showing at the Kansas Union Gallery, is a fantastic show of exceptionally high quality because of the internationally known artists whose works are on display.
The show makes a definite statement: Stereotyped female art doesn't exist. Throughout the panorama, which dates back to the 1950s, we present the artists' styles are original and individualistic.
Among the artists are Anna Mary Robertson "Grandma" Moses, Georgia O'Keeffe and Kathe Kolwitz.
On exhibition are water-
colors, pastels and small work,
but in none of these is there a
timidity or lack of quality. Each
work has been carefully dressed
obviously instinctive to the artist and her environment.
Moreover, each artist appears to have a well thought out reason for her particular style and medium.
Helen Frankenthaler's works are a perfect example of planning and precision. She uses subtle colors that appear to merge at various places, creating interesting shapes.
Georgia O'Keeffe's use of watercolor in her work "Cerise in Green" is precise and delicate. She uses pure colors to form a nucleus that appears to explode from the center.
Throughout this semester, the School of Fine Arts has offered students at the University of Kansas an excellent selection of recitals and the Concert and Chamber Music Series.
Isabel Bishop's painting "Man Sleeping" is done on an extremely small scale, but it has a powerful impact. Had it been larger, it is very probable that he would have worked the work as closely, thus the statement that she is making concerning the supposed

Some of the best talent around is on this campus. Faculty members such as James C. Brown, UMass Boston, and Axel assistant professor of wind and percussion, and Margaret Ling, associate professor of wind and
The star system that brings people like Previn and Entremont is terribly overrated. Too many people are willing to swear a concert is great because the performer is internationally known.

Perhaps they aren't a famous celebrities, but they have been working hard and should put on a good presentation. Go to the show. There is nothing wrong with patronizing your own university.

What could have been a ponderous discussion of philosophical convolutions about truth, reality and fantasy is instead a delightfully entertaining and thoroughly professional show.
Acting, directing and design all unite in a finely conceived production of fluidity, precision and subtlety.

"Right You Are" is directed by John Rein, visiting professor and former director of the prestigious Goodman Theatre in Chicago. Under his guidance, the actors move with an economic precision marked by fine ensemble play. Staze
The production moves quickly, almost breathlessly, but not a word or inflection is missed. No empty moments or pregnant pauses occur. The audience is swept along in the air as it is by turns comic and compassionate, absurd and bewildering.
even hostile toward the strange manner in which a government official chooses to live. The other person can use plaination. Two apparently reasonable but completely contradictory ones are given by the official and his mother-in-law, and yet the real one—but does it even exist? Pirandello seems to say in this play that the truth is to think it is, regardless of what it appears to be to someone else.
James Gohl's set is a marvel of stuffy elegance and sufocating civility, replete with dried floral accents. The curioceum raked in heavily dominated by two huge mirrors. The costumes, by Louise Herman, delineate the characters perfectly. Charles Lown's lighting design is, as masterfully understated.
Among the best of several fine performances were Maureen Hawley as Signora Frola, a befuddled old lady who may be insane; Cook as Ponza, open his private life to public scrutiny; Kirby Kemble as Agziac, a pompous problem-solver; David Williams as Sirell, a silly gossip; Helen Thompson as Signora Sirell, an overbearing society matron, and Paul Hawley, the detached and ironic commentator on the others.
This production fully justifies educational theater's commitment to performing classic classics intimately intimidated by the play's reputation--you'll thoroughly enjoy your experience. Tickets are available at Murphy Hall for $40 per night and Sunday afternoon.

in terms of three-dimensional structures.
As a matter of fact, the exhibit should have been entitled "A Panorama of War," a collection of images addressed to The Art of Women defeats
Anna Hytay Hongtington's bronze sculpture "Cranes Rising" is so far removed from any female stereotype that some people probably would like to credit it to a man. Her piece is done in large scale with metal, glass and texture. It definitely gives a feeling of flight and graceful movement.
This work alone shows the absurdity of any stereotypes—such as the idea that women are and, moreover, the conception that women are unable to think
Obviously, these works are not expressions of a sexuality, nor are they documentaries of women confining themselves to their experiences as women. They go far beyond this. Each work is made clear that it is an individual statement by an individual person.

On screen
Ludwig, the Mad Man from Bavaria—A terrible disappointment from otherwise great director Luchino Viontelli. The second revisionism is again set aside for stagniness and extreme meldrama. King Ludwig of Bavaria could never have been the first to portray. A lot of money was spent on the costumes, however. With Trevor Howard and Silvana Mangano.

The Great Toy Robbery, Blind Bird and Amella and the Angel -Flicks for the kids. Directed by Jale Hale, Boris Doline and Anatolii, and Ken Russell respectively. (At 1:30 p.m. Sunday in Woodruff Auditorium.)
Harry and Tonto—Not only a good film, but an important film. This is one of the few films that deals with the lives of elderly people and deals with them in terms of compassion for others. Harry delivers the greatest, most sensitive performance of his career as Harry, an old man who is independent and enjoys life. Geraldine Fitzgerald is aged, as usual, as a former gorgoeous priest who changed. Ellen Burstyn portrays a sensitive, up-daughter. With Larry Hagman and Chief Dan George. Directed by Paul Mazursky. Highly recommended. At 7:30 and on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at the Granada.)
The Trial of Billy Jack—More sloppy, sentimental junk by the same left-wing propagandists who made "Billy Jack." And they are actually charging $2.50 a person. Liberalism doesn't come cheap these days. For extravagant bleeding hearts.
Art shows style
"Spanish Baroque Drawings," showing at Spooner Art Museum, is a collection of a few secular and liturgical drawings done during the late 18th century. For the most part, the drawings appear to be rather sketchy, thus giving the subject matter an ethereal, flowing quality that works well for the
religious subject matter such as Bartolome Ernesto Murillo's "Immaculate Conception," "Head of an Old Man," a "Madrid" and "XVII Century," has a similar quality.
Vincente Salvador Gonez's "Saint Joseph and the Christ Child" appears to be more familiar to many others. It includes some architectural details that seem to ground or contain the subject.
If the purpose of the show is to illustrate the stylistic characteristics of this era, the exhibit definitely succeeds—one of the few shows where this is in such an obvious manner.
Vincente Cerdocko "the 'Martyrdom of a Saint' is much more fully developed. The form of the human body is more realistically indicated. It shows how the muscles, pressions and earthiness. The figures and their movements appear to be more human.

The most powerful piece is Josepe D Reibera's "Man Bound to a Stake." Its subject matter is limited but well expressed, and its power of expression. This style is evident in all of his works.
The stylistic characteristics of the Spanish Baroque era are obviously well presented in this book. The paintings are unified collection of drawings.

Gerald Lubersky, local artist, said, "There is definitely a very high quality of professional work there. I think it is a benefit to the local community and an encouragement to a lot of artists to have such a place to work." Lubersky said it really essential to the cultural and educational growth of the community."
Lubensky also said the gallery was professional.
"There are very few, if any, hobbyists represented there," he said.
Since it is a professional establishment, the financial aspect is an important one. The gallery offers the works range from $1.50 to $700. Because it is a consignment gallery, the artists set their own prices. The gallery connects between the artist and the public.
