When moved its gift Is copious." The use of this quote is not to imply "a mystical quality to Wil ton's work (it is too sophisticated for that), but to point up a cer tain quality and condition of pace activity within his can vas. , in wor. oeing in ail ways an adventure m color and rlocion fl.rtlrnti cna. walk "inn design, "" -r ious" forms; essentially simple. rather repetitive in their postures and movements that carry color as if. there . were bouyant forces of co-mingling elements constant ly moving between emergence and recession. The initial impression is one of a aeries of erruptions (always controlled) or vast fragmenta tions of parts that arrive formless into our imagination, spreading out, as it were, like some vast opulent encrustation impossible to hold in any coherent' pattern of meaning. Initially we luxur iate in color. However, after a while we locate in these seem ingly confused outward thrusting forces of color and forms a series Of "symbols" that are shorthand equivalents that have to do, very remotely at times, with the gen erative forces at work in nature. Surge f F'oree While we cannot specifically recognize or identify the "ob jects" in apace within the work there is a quality of ebullience, a lush exhilaration of surging force which we xaa. very easily Jirom lhelr non-objective environ.-.!- rauiU with nitiir It l .l.- I ture that has undergone a com plete transformation, one that is stripped down to it core of growth, it spheres of energy that disregard the formed and Jden- ing a good-looking brown wool costume with plaid jacket . . .

Mrs. William Shinn and Miss Marjorie Becke donning be coming oiue and green wools tlfied nature to state the un formed, the incomplete evolution ary process. Wilson's concept of painting, his method of work, has more to do with this Impression than the ideas behind the work, for we have come, is it not true, to give the cosmos of the abstract expressionist (its color, surface, above all, its energy) the benefit of the doubt in its proximity to the forces at work In nature. There is always the question whether the identity implied by titles was an after thought that iri the adventure of color and de sign accidental points of recogni tion, ambiguously arrived at, are abducted from the chaos to mark the birth of , inti wnicn , iu beginnings, was, not born as ... muph ax issued frnm i sfv list approach to theroblem of paint- mg. One can rightly state, "What's the difference as long as the painting was created?" And I agree with that question for it is the result we are concerned with and not the pangs of its birth. For it is the way you en joy the works in themselves, not necessarily the demands you make of them, that counts.' If you question anything it must be the quality of the joy. It if very obvious that to enjoy Wilson' work one must accept it for what it is, for it ha dispensed with much to emphasize a small segment of reality. While one may feel this reality to be deriv ative it has, through a very em phatic understanding of color and design, achieved a very strong and certain identity and power. The expression of growth one feels in the work seeks form in a " non-objective equilibrium and there feeds our curiosity by col ors, designs, that billow . forth, seeminelv desirlne to break free ment - , Which brings us to bit of speculation. Looking at the show as a whole I felt a sense -of dis content in this exfoliation, this churning, disinterred color, as if Wilson, in his work was awaken ing to something which the non objective condition cannot con tain. In a few of the works one feels- lhat the work ir seeking a more concrete body and the color and design taking on the burden other than itself. My feelings are so strong on this score that I want to be around about 10 years from now to see what Milton Wil son will be doing. I am willing to bet that it will not be work of a "non-objective" nature, for it has too much potential for growth and power for that. We will see: in the meantime, go see the show, a very colorful show for these grey Oregon day.
