Fairfield Porter Says Reality of Art Vitality By JEAN SNIDER Staff Writer The ultimate reality of art is vitality, that wholeness of life which defies control, according to Fairfield Porter, painter, wri ter. and critic, Monday night at 150 Science. He was answering the frequent ly-asked question of the need for an art school at the University. He feels the basic need is for a balanced effect for the logical re strictions of the scientific meth od of modern education, which is satisfied in the artistic awareness that reality cannot be proven, that the only real knowledge one can be certain of is what is in side the individual. While science, which is the ba sis of education, teaches that what is certain must be translat able into practical terms, art re veals those elements of the whole ness of life which scientific edu cation suppresses, according to Yugoslivian Writer to Speak A Yugoslavian professor who has written a book on the con temporary British novel will give public lectures at the University today and Wednesday. Miss Markovic will speak today on "The Study of Literature in Yugoslavia" and “The Image of Man in Contemporary British Fic tion” Wednesday. Both lectures will be at 4 p.m. in the Student Union. She is Vida Markovic, chairman of the Department of English at the University of Belgrade, where some 500 Yugoslav students are majoring in English and 5,000 are enrolled in English courses. She is currently engaged in re search at the Institute for Ad vanced Studies at Princeton Uni versity, where her book will be published later this year. She has lectured at Bryn Mawr Col lege and Kenyon College. Miss Markovic was granted an interview with American novel ist William Faulkner, before his death in April, 1962, while she was on a visit to the United States in 1962 under a State De partment Leader Grant. The in terview was later published in The University of Texas Studies in Literature and Language. The University Department of English and the Assembly and University Lectures Committee are sponsoring Miss Markovic’s lectures. DeBerry to Speak Clyde E. DeBerry, poverty and race specialist of the University Federal government Relations, has been invited to participate in a conference Wednesday on "Problems and Solutions toward Equality for Negroes.” The conference, to be held at Portland State College, is sponsored by the PSC student educational activities office. Other conference participants include two PSC sociologists and a Portland social worker. Porter, it relies on uniqueness and change, whereas science; looks for that which is repeatable! and ignores what can not be re-; produced. "The essence of art, vitality, shows that nothing is ever the same,” Porter said, “that there is no repetition.” People ask for a specific mean ing or measurement of art to ap pease their education, he added, because “they fear their uncon scious awareness of reality.” Porter stated that the pleasure of art is making the individual sure of what he is, and that he does not need scientific education to accept reality.
