They cannot be entirely blamed for this distorted attitude. Tor modern art. which began in very open revolt on a clarion as sertion of liberty and the worth of Individual creative expression has ended up In a mystagogal hive where expression has become a form of comoression with plenty ef: no-trespassing signs surround ing the Individual cells. "A herme tio withdrawal within which the cultivated narcissism of the mod era artist lays hold of his eccen- tricit es" and where each ecu a humbled under the benevolent aura of its own esthetics and press rents. All very assertive la their de- Baarlstisa ef the !ttramat hi which they mast live, being nec essary. H seems, te rive aa to- tensity to Uwir recaclty at aoaL , Since each cell is categorically Committed to a certain exclusive egment of meaning there ' is 'constant war of nerves existing amoncst the practicing artists. Each is firm in the right of its means and equally firm in rejec tion of each other. All of wnicn Is directly related to the psychic balance of tht artists aa a group. A dilemma created by the artists theiRseives ssd set by their 90 ciety, except, perhaps, where so ciety's desire for novelty and Its susceptibility ito shock values have had an unfortunate effect on the experimental nature of modern art. t . CaastanUy Changing While saeiety la ot aware th timer tribal warfare eaastaat ly taking place fa the field af contemporary art they are aware ef the fluctuating aaturt of its - traductions. Lacking any cohesive values that keep these changes la balanced perspective, as Is the ease with the practicing artists, they aee surface effects la Isola tion (not enough artists are aware ef thia fact.) Lacking knowledge of theory of vkat is being striven for by the rust, they tend to compare the works with either their inadequate concept of art or with the "re-; ality" about them. Unable to com pare, relate the efforts to the his torical stream of modern art they see surface conditions which, as such, have no value for them as receptive audience. This can be both a blessing in that they look at, the work with unsophisticated eyes, and curse, in that their lack ef . "painterly knowledge" blinds them to qualities inherent in the art form. Especially is this so with ab stract art which. It most be ad mitted, b aa "artist's art form," a specialised way af tasking (or feeling) at Hfe completely at adds with the greater part ef society's experience In and with We. Being 1a all ways, aa abbreviation af life, the ase ef abbreviate to Imply that the artist feels he Is ever out ef contact with life. However, while the abstract art ist may claim be is seeking a con crete reality in these abbreviations behind the surface of the chaotic false face life presents to man, he has to admit that this reality Is the same as the one felt by his audience. The only difference . being that the artist has trans muted, objectified it in aesthetic terms, visual terms. Te Select Since his visual terms are born to his special Isolation from so ciety they are suspect because they art aa educated way of look ing at life, demanding certain qualities of understanding and per ception. When these specialised concepts ef life are faced by the Innocent eyes of society they are naturally te be either rejected or overlooked. Society is on guard against the specialized sophistica tions of modern art because they are not too sure of what, why and where. And unlike many artists they never confuse sophistication with contemplative wisdom ' and Instinctively they are looking for wisdom, understanding and clari fication ef life In the art form.

The six oil paintings in cluded in the show have not been exhibited in a museum previously. Mr. Heaney's love for desert country is evident in his work, which includes remarkable prints of cacti and fossils. An outstand ing printmaker, Charles Heaney uses the aquatint, which deals with tone in large masses instead of the finely etched line. Goya was the outstanding ex ponent of this method, in which effects are obtained by the action of acid through a pourous ground of sand or some powdered resin ous substance. Mr. Heaney has de veloped bis own methods of ob taining texture In his work and he has done his own printing. These works have been shown at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Society of Ameri can Etchers, the Northwest Print makers Society, the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Mu seum and the Whitney Museum of New York, and Harvey Welch's Gallery in Portland.
