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.
