Pictures currently on exhibit in
the Serpentine Lounge of the
Memorial Student Center were
selected from the Spring Jury
and Membership Show in, May
1964 and the State Citation Ex
hibition, July 1964 of the Texas
Fine Arts Association.
It is unfortunate that the bet
ter art works produced by Texas
artists are not shown outside
the galleries because of the re
luctance of the artists to place
their top works on circuit The
works are on circuit for a year,
are unavailable for sale by the
artists and invariably are return
ed showing the effects of travel
and handling, so it is not surpris
ing that the Texas Fine Arts As
sociation must either purchase
exceptional works they wish to
exhibit or settle for the second-
and-third choices of juries after
artists have withdrawn their
choice works.
Of those exhibited, the best is
by Cora Ann Young of Harlin
gen. Entitled “Break-Up,” the
painting is an excellent composi
tion of browns and yellows in
polymer casein but somehow in
the shuffle was hung off in one
corner between the door to the
men’s room and the fire escape.
Fred Samuelson’s “American
Totem No. 1,” also in polymer,
which won the $500 purchase
prize in the Spring Jury Show,
is more interesting for its value
as a social critism than its more
artistic merit. Interpersed with
symbols of God, Mother, Country
and the American Dream, Free
dom, Liberty are such Epithets as
“Do Not Enter” and “We Reserve
the . . ”
“Picnic,” an oil by Dr. Henry
Moore of Seguin, shows an em
ployment of technique and skill
noticably lacking in other works
of the show. The work of Dr.
Moore is notable although it does
rank somewhat behind that of
Miss Young and Samuelson.
“Memory of an Ajanta,” a wa-
tercolor by Amy Freeman Lee of
San Antonio, and “Exhuberance
of Summer,” an oil by Charles
Baugh of McAllen are not repre
sentative of the respective art
ists’ talents. Both Mrs. Lee and
Mr. Baugh are capable of work
far superior to those which are
exhibited here.
“Nude Walking,” an oil by
Jeanette Welty of Corpus Christi,
is apparently an attempt to com
bine a realistic theme with a
Rothko technique and would have
been a better painting if Miss
Welty had either done an abstract
nude or paid more attention to
her composition.
Alberto Mijangos’ “Illogical
con Safo” is interesting departure
into the surrealistic and the ab-
surb, and the future development
and the other works of Mijangos
should merit observation.
“Hidden Bird” a polymer by
Gibbs Milliken of San Antonio
and Cranbrook Academy is little
more than gimmick and shows
certain technical Compentance.
“Strange Purple Leaves” by
Billie Renfro and “Studio Inter
ior” by William E. Renfro, both
of Kingsville, are both variations
of a style reminencent of Piet
Mondrian. While interesting,
these and the other works in the
show are not of a caliber one
would expect to see at a show
ing of the works of Texas’ finest
artists.
Correction
The Battalion wishes to express
its apologies for an arror which
apeared in yesterday’s story con
cerning a proposed tuition hike
for state-supported institutions.
Forrest M. Mim’s statement
should have read, “I think that
a raise in tuition is something
we should all be willing to face.
It will be harder on some stu
dents but it shouldn’t affect the
majority of us. I think most
students are willing to pay a
greater share for the education
they receive.”
