Gallery Open
tour Held on
"Art isn't just an object-it
must be an experience, a
(roup of visitors at Rogue
gallery learned from Warren
Wolf during the gallery's first
tour Wednesday night. Mr,
Wolf and Mrs. Eric W. Allen
Jr., of the Rogue Valley Art
association led the tour at the
new gallery, opened only
week ago. -with Mr. Wolf
peaking of the paintings and
Mrs. Allen about the sculp
ture.
The gallery will be open to
the public both Saturday and
Sunday afternoons, as well as
week days, It is stressed. Sat
urday afternoon members of
the Art Students league of
Medford High school will
supply volunteers as a league
project Other volunteers are
under the chairmanship of
Mrs. Harry Danielson.
" Mr. Wolf, art instructor at
Medford High school, opened
the tour with general com'
ment. He said that each indi
vidual reacts in a different
manner to a work of art, with
the colors, shapes or patterns
communicating something
different to each viewer.
He spoke first of the color
tonalities in Charles Voorhcis
oil painting, "Road to Cordo
ba" which hangs near the en
trance, and of Piladakis'
work, "Oregon Coast," saying
the latter was notablefor the
rhythm and pattern "of the
planes used to indicate the
ocean and which are punctu
ated with rock formations.
Commenting on Jameson's
"Coast Theme No. 1" Mr.
Wolf said that it is a "reduc
tion to pure geometry" and
that only time can be the
judge of this type of art. Sci
ence has subdivided matter
down to the atom, and an ar
tist may do the same for a
subject, the art instructor
said. He explained that "it is
not the place of an artist to
Imitate nature, but to reveal
It."
Sculpture Explained
Mrs. Allen explained the
large work standing near the
window, done by Luopnow
and entitled "Torsos," as a
type of free form sculpture
which does not confine the
eye. She spoke of the tech
nique used, saying the student
sculptor had used a blow
torch and wire brush to put
a finish on the wood. Cracks,
knots and the grain of the
wood all enhance the piece,
. irs. Alien explained, -a
' piece of sculpture of this sort
takes imagination," she said.
Of the "Mother and Child"
piece by Koll, Mrs. Alien told
how the sculptor used a wire
armature as a base and then
completed the piece with
plaster.
Speaking qf Trojan's water
eolor, "Herbs" Mr. Wolf ex
plained that work with water
color requires bold strokes
with the brush. He said that

n a, no, inajr ijmvo uccii tJll-
centrating on depicting new
plant growth and life of a few
square inches when he paint
ed the work which is in
strong greens and blues.
Turning to a work by Gunn
which Is a single tree branch,
Mr. Wolf said that art may
be Inspired by nature, but
comes through humans and he
commented on the "warm de
sign." Of the bold "Cathedral
Theme" by Huck, Mr. Wolf
suggested that the viewers
imagine himself Inside the
structure looking out. "This
work has caused considerable
comment from gallery visi
tors who often lean down and
look at it from various an
gles." Speaking of "The Women"
by Levine, Mr. Wolf remind
ed his listeners that "these
are not pictures of things, but
an expression of emotion."
Mrs. Allen praised Forres
ter's "Self Portrait" saying it
is a particularly fine example
of conservative, low relief
sculpture which Is extremely
difficult to do. She comment
ed on the good surface treat
ment which the artist had
managed. Providing interest
in contrast is the "Tuff"
which stands near. Mrs. Allen
explained that "tuff" is a soft
sandstone with s t r 1 a 1 1 o n
found in some parts of Ore
gon and pointed out how the
aculptor had made artistic use
pf the natural markings to
accent the elements of space
in the piece.
Llamas Depicted
One of the displays is three
simple figures silhouetted
against black and entitled
"Llamas." This work by Ped
erson Mrs. Allen said had a
'. "surprise element" and added
that it is a reduction to the
simplest oi lines ana lorms.
A piece of metal sculpture
entitled "Weedstalk" by
Shul!, Mrs. Allen described
as having a "feeling of fan
tasy." Commenting on this
work and a wall piece by
Peterson entitled "Relief."
Mrs. Allen described how the
s.-ulptor uses a portable ma
chine to weld the various
pieces together. They are not

working drawing or clay
model, the speaker said
She also spoke of the diffi
cult techniques necessary for
sculptors making pieces such
as the "Reclining Figure" by
Rowe, which involves a pa
tina devised with hot wax,
and commented on Barkee's
architectural model for a
garden wall. Speaking of the
dramatic and distorted "Cru
clflxion," Mrs. Allen said the
abnormally long arms accent
the feeling of sag and weight
of the figure. This work is by
Robertson.
When the tour came to
"Still Life" by Kryzanick, Mr,
Wolf explained that there
need be "no particular reason
for any type of subject chos
en by an artist," adding "it is
the feeling which is impor
tant. Whether it is represent
ational of abstract art, always
remember it is the feeling
which counts," the teacher
said. Abstractions eliminate
superfluous detail and give
the design emphasis, he
added.
Two sculptured heads ex
hibited in the third area of
the gallery provide an inter
esting contrast. One in the
classic tradition is the work
of Huff, and the other an ab
stract, is by Youngblood. Mrs,
Allen drew attention to the
changes in texture which the
sculptor used in the classic
piece and pointed out that the
abstract piece is noteworthy
for a feeling of strength and
mentioned that the unusually
glossy surface was obtained
by the use of beeswax.
Paintings in this area in
clude "Fantastic City" by
laft, "In the Western Hill of
Corvallis" by Randall, "Tic
Tac Toe," an oil collage by
Wasson, and "Canyon City"
by Stuart.
In discussing a piece of
metal sculpture by Forrester
called "Construction," Mrs.
Allen spoke of the organized
planes and the air of fantasy
which the artist obtained, and
also that the work gives the
impression of being an open
mass.

Royal Family
Said Battling
Over Best Man
London -IUPII- The British
press reported today that a
battle is on In the royal fam
ily over the choice of a new
best man ifor Princess Mar
garet's wedding to Antony
Armstrong-Jones next month.
The Daily Herald said Prin
cess Margaret insists that
Armstrong-Jones has the sole
right to choose the man to
replace Jeremy Fry, who
stepped down on the advice
of his doctor.
But Buckingham Palace cir
cles said thnt Fry's abrupt
withdrawal Wednesday night,
amid a blaze of headlines,
meant that Armstrong-Jones
almost certainly would accept
the advice of the royal fam
ily on any new candidate.
"Tony has many friends,
mostly members of the Chel
sea set," the Herald said. "But
few are capable of supplying
the impeccable background
demanded by protocol."
Palace observers were con
vinced that the 30-year-old
former society photographer
would be advised either to
select his best man from an
approved list or else submit
his choice for approval.
Through these course s,
Bucklnghom Palace and Clar
ence House will be able to
satisfy themselves thai there
will not be another "sensa
tion" - as some newspapers
characterized Fry's w 1 1 h
drawal. Fry, 33-year-old heir to a
chocolate fortune, spent the
day in bed Thursday but
worked on blueprants and ac
cepted business calls. He
heads an engineering firm
and is Armstrong-Jones' .best
friend.
Fry had jaundice last No
vember and was said to be
afraid It was returning.
