Of birth and death
Faculty art show opens
Intaglios, oil paintings, and sculptures comprise the one-man show of work by KU faculty artist John Tallleur opening Friday with a reception for students and faculty from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the KU Museum of Art.
Birth, violence, death are themes of Talleur's work. Talleur said: "These three (my Absolutes) are the most important things I know. They concern me constantly. That is why I make pictures about them . . . Occasionally I do a portrait for fun, or trees because I want to work out some formal problem and not get involved with anything important."
Prior to joining the KU faculty in 1955, he taught at Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., and St. Paul Gallery and School of Art, St Paul, Minn. He served as a research assistant at the University of Iowa (1951-1952).
TALLEUR IS a native of Chicago. He received the B.F.A. from the University of Chicago & the School of the Chicago Art Institute. In 1531, he received the M.F.A. from the State University of Iowa.
The next year he went to Paris on a Fulbright Fellowship where he produced his first woodcuts.
FORTY-EIGHT WORKS will be displayed in his show, entitled "Recent Works of John Talleur," that will be on view at the museum through Dec. 1. Twenty-two works done in the past year are included.
Talleur said integlio prints (etchings, engravings), and wood-cuts make up the bulk of the show.
Tolleur said: "All artists are craftsmen; all printmakers are craftsmen. Painting craft is too easy—this is one of its prime dangers; the printing craft is painful—one of its unpleasant features."
"PRINTS, EVEN little 'spontaneous' ones take lots of time to make, and much care to see that they are exactly what is wanted. Patience is the chief virtue of the printmaker; a rare

Tallere has studied printmaking under Mauvielio Lasansky at the University of Iowa. Because of a color intaglio print, "The Dead," done in 1951-1952, a national magazine said he was 'a technical virtuoso."
Bret Waller, Associate Director of the KU Art Museum comments on the work: "One finds a fascinating display of technical skill; a variety of soft-ground textures, aquatint, engraving, straight line-etching, embossed white areas bitten deeply into the plate which is, itself, an irregular shape—no longer the conventional rectangle."
PREVIOUS one-man stunts for Talent include those at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Esquire Gallery, Chicago; Mulvane Art
Center, Topeka; University of Colorado; University of Nebraska; Sanden Museum, Kansas; Little Gallery, Kansas City, Mo.; Unitarian Gallery, Kansas City, Mo.; Premiere Art Gallery, Springfield, Ill., and Kaw Valley State Bank, Eudora.
The Metropolitan Art Museum in New York, Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Art Institute in Chicago are among the many institutions that own work by Tulleur.
Marylin Stokstad, director of the KU Museum of Art, said: "Mr. Tailleur's work has been seen at the University, Incorporated into other exhibitions, and a glance at his exhibition record will reveal that his achievements have not lacked recognition elsewhere. It seems only fitting, then, that the prophet, for ones, be honored in his own land."
Delving into the era 100 years ago, James Barnes, professor of history at Wabash College, Ind., will appear in the Kansas Union at 8 p.m. Monday.
