er at Parrish Junior High school
By CARL; HALL
All the artists referred to in my
last article, cast . their span of
life upon the turmoil of the earth
burdened mammal and his mold
ed world, and sought to find a
meaning above man that gave pur
pose and fecundity to his destiny.
A large meaning that they
searched far in the most immed
iate source, their hearts, in the
hidden affirmations of a strange
face, a sunflower or a moonlit
sea, which they: found equally
strange.
They surrendered all to a great
unattainable absolute above theory,
comfort, warmth, even happiness
esthetics was a by-product of this
search for an absolute. Certain
modern artists, like Matisse, sur
render all to the colorful surface
organization, becoming in the pro
cess a medicinal: purgative or a
form of therapy "called "beauty
to relieve the tensions; the consti
pations of life. To a Rembrandt,
Ronault, El Greco, or a Van Gogh,
this would be the ultimate in futi
lity. They had no patience with
' rest cures
Newer Compromise
Concerned as these men were
with human implications, even
when working with, landscape or
still-life, of the inherent greatness
of man, his spiritual failings and
successes, they would never
compromise their position. They
would never abdicate to show the
innate potentialities of life above
dalliance, physical: well-being,
above materialism. They were con
cerned with the ! fundamental
problems of, human nature spirit
ually encompassed. ;
They attempt to give a new out
look, understanding towards deep
er feelings and emotions. Showing
ns how, even in our fears. In oar
loneliness, we can rise above oar
day to day selves aid find a new
purpose and dignity In life.
To feel and, perhaps, capture
in an intense way, the quivering
dial of significance that oscillates
between the positive and negative
aspects of life is the artist's pur
pose. Not to furnish an esthetic
armchair where one I can take off
one's shoes and , stretch.
New Knowledge
Art is to make man stand at
attention with all his faculties at
tuned and intensified; more alert
because of the knowledge that
something important, spiritually
meaningful Is taking place on this
piece of canvas or paper wmcn
his day to day Concern with real
ity can undermine.
The great work ot an is tne
transcending one, the one that
swirls in another world of emo
tional and spiritual ultimates that
uses colors, textures, design to be
discarded as soon as the ascen
sion of experience is made.
All artists seem to state: "Would
I work in such a way, say certain
things, if I did not have a plan of
meaning which you should know
and understand above your pre
sent perception of life? Would I
place my heart on the scales of
existence if I did not feel that I
have taken something from the
meaning of life, which you, of all
people need?
I don t need v to look for it, I
have it! You don't have it or you
would not approach my work and
seek to find meaning in it. But
unless you humble your precon
ceived conceptions of what life
and art are, before my work, you
miss its significance." i
Poetry (art) to quote Louis
Untermeyer, is "a solace and an
excitement, an escape and an ad
venture." It is a pity that ex
tremely talented men like Ma
tisse are content with solace and
escape, A thought of Santayana's
comes to mind, fBut poetry can
not be spread upon things like
butter; it must play upon them
like light, and be the medium
through which we see them." ;
There are artists: who prefer
to climb mountains: others are
content with armchairs. The
climb, for all of us, has more
future because it is where life
and. struggle are, and within it
art never presumes the capital

Tax Bureau
Enforcement
Grew Boosted
WASHINGTON Ufi The Internal
Revenue Service says it is adding
1,141 more enforcement officers for
an intensified drive to collect more
than three billion dollars in over
due taxes.
The plan was disclosed Friday,
when the House Appropriations
Committee and its subcommittees
made public testimony they have
taken in a series of closed-door
hearings this month.
Deputy Revenue Commissioner
0. Gordon Delk told the congress
men about the collection drive.
The ; appropriations committee
Friday recommended restoration
of 215 million dollars of the 300
million Congress cut last year
from the budget of the Veterans
Administration (VA).
It also refused to recommend
any money for . "rain - making"
studies.! An advisory committee
authorized by Congress last year
to evaluate public and private ex
periments in weather modification
had asked for $150,000 for its
study. The committee gave no rea
son for its decision.
The additional VA money will
go for veterans' compensation and
pension payments. It boosts to $2,
461,291,000 the total available for
this purpose for the fiscal year
ending June 30. President Eisen
hower asked for restoration of the
215 million. ,
