i sometimes think K is the art-
lst'i freedom is isolation that so
ciety holds suspect, being suspic
ious of a form of individuality
that cannot be understood by any
ordinary, obvious criterie and
that strives, as well as thrives,
under conditions remote from Its
own materialistic dictates: sort of
fifth column that is out for no
food. 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

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.

Oil Paintings
Of Mr. Heaney
On Exhibit
A large collection of prints and
drawings by Charles Heaney,
Portland artist, will be exhibited
at the Bush Museum through No
vember 4. 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. Mr. Heaney
