Painting, Sculpture Added to KU Museum
Two new acquisitions highlighted the opening of an exhibition of "Twentieth Century Painting" at the Kansas University Museum of Art Sunday.
The exhibition, which includes works of both American and European artists that are part of the University of Arizona collection, will be shown at the museum until April 15.
THE MONET painting was a gift to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. William A. Findlay, Jr., formerly of Kansas City, Mo. It is an impressionistic landscape, "Winter on the Seine."
Bernstein said, "We very seldom find whole statues anymore. It was identified as Appollo by the ringlets that hang down over the shoulders."
THE EXHIBITION of paintings from the Arizona collection are divided into two sections. The works by American artists are shown in two rooms on the lower level, and the 15 European pieces are on the second floor.
"This is an important addition to the museum," said Gerald S. Bernstein, curator of the museum. This painting is atypical of Monet. It is winter scene in subdued colors; Monet usually painted in brilliant spring colors."
The statue is a fragment of a Roman marble figure of Appollo from the 1st Century A.D. It consists of the shoulders and chest of the original statue.
The new acquisitions are a Monet oil painting and a piece of ancient Roman sculpture.
The paintings in the American group encompass a wide variety in artistic style. They include representatives from more realistic schools of art of regionalism, or
"One of the best representatives of social realism in the collection is the Marsh painting of people at an opera, which makes derogatory comment on the kind of people that go to the opera," said Sharon Graves, Logan senior and an art history major.
One of the pieces which attracted the most attention was a painting by Robert Hale, "Interplanetary Take-off," which offered the striking contrast of a black figure on a white background.
landscape painting and social realism to pieces of abstract impressionism and non-objective art.
NON-OBJECTIVE art is art for art's sake. Non-objective paintings have no recognizable subject.
Attempts to identify the figure resulted in such comments as "a baggage cart at the depot" or "the Wright brothers."
In addition to the types of painting represented in the American group, the European paintings included some examples of surrealistic painting.
Non-objective art was represented by a work by Mark Rothko entitled "Green on Blue." The whole painting was done in three colors; it consisted of a large area of green and a large area of which surrounded by varying shades of blue.
An old house has taken on a new look.
Extension Bureau Now In Old Pi Phi House
The rooms where 60 sorority sisters once laughed, studied and sang are now offices, filing cabinets and busy secretaries.
The former Pi Beta Phi sorority house, 1241 Mississippi, is the new University Extension building.
"It was mostly paint and patch," said T. Howard Walker, University Extension director.
No major alterations had to be made other than adding three partitions and widening one doorway
The University Extension completed its move to new headquarters last week. Extension officers were formerly housed in Fraser Hall, Blake Annex and Watson Library.
"For the first time in more than a decade, the division is more nearly consolidated," Walker said.
The basement of the new extension building holds the extension library. The Bureau of Visual Instruction and Campus Film Services are to remain in Bailey Hall.
The University Extension correspondence study and administration offices moved from Fraser Hall to the first floor of the new headquarters. The second floor will house the Bureau of Extension Classes, which also moved from Fraser.
Extension Institutes and conferences offices, third floor, were formerly located in Blake Annex. The Photo and Graphic Arts Bureau, which moved from Watson Library basement, is also on the third floor.
Walker said the University Extension now has 800 square feet of space more than it had in its previous offices.
Bedrooms were changed into offices and conference rooms.
"And we have more bathrooms than any other office building on campus." Walker said.
Walker said the new location will add to the efficiency and effectiveness of the University Extension.
Even the space beneath the front
porch of the building is being utilized for storage.
"The location near the Kansas Union affords the institutes and conferences office a much closer liaison with the Union operation," he said. Last year 163 conferences and institutes were held in the Union.
John J. Johnson, professor of history at Stanford University, will be the speaker at the sixth lecture in a series sponsored by the KU Center of Latin American Studies
Walker said the new headquarters is also close to the site which has been chosen for a University Extension Studies Center. The studies center will be located on Mississippi, across from the Kansas Union.
