A collection of junk aroused more interest and caused
more comment among visitors to the art exhibit of the
Seattle World's Fair than any other work when Potpourri
toured the show., Visitors were crowded around the thing
exclaiming, arguing, laughing,
The object the catalog classifies it as sculpture, was put
together by Jean Tinguely, Swiss born artist now living
In Paris. It is made up of wheels, bars, rods, bolts, screws
something which looks like
ends of metal. It is motivated
and every few minutes its parts
fly up and down and otherwise move.
It was interesting to watch the faces of the audience
Many at first laughed, some were annoyed, some puzzled
all were interested. No one passed it by. As we stood among
a group of IS or 20 visitors watching and examining the
the sculpture, a man nearby asked "What do you make of
this thing? and after a moment we said that It reminded us
nf the roadsides along the highway between Tacoma and
Seattle. The horrible assortment of business "junk which
line this stretch of road gives the impression of being 1
ghastly, useless mess.
Some of the viewers were insulted that this conglomera
tion of metal should be permitted in the show as art and
expressed their annoyance. Near Potpourri stood a young
couple and a girl, about 10
contraption and at length the
an, possibly her mother, stared at her for a time and then
asked of the man "Did you hear what she said?" He went
on with the business of taking a picture and asked. "No,
what did she say" and the
astonishment, "She says it s laughing at us. This was
a more astute response to Tinguely's idea than some of the
adults were making.
Those who frequent art museums and galleries in this
country have probably observed the difference in the reac
tion to the so-called masterpieces and contemporary work,
particularly abstract art.
There was an air of respect and almost reverence among
those walking through the section of the exhibit at the
Seattle fair devoted to the works of Van Dyck, Degas,
Millet, Fragonard, Waiteau, Rousseau, etc.
When the viewers progressed to the section devoted to
"Art Since 1950" this attitude changed, In general. Of
course, there were those who were attentive and apprecia
tive of this section as well as the first. One young man was
jubilant over finding that Pollock's works were included,
and some stood absorbed before the canvasses of Tobey and
Morris Graves.
F it one heard such remarks as "My four-year-old son
could do as well!" or "Is that what they teach in art schools
now?" One well-dressed, intelligent looking young man said
abruptly to his group "Look,
Let s get out of here.
About this time a middle
Potpourri and said, in an urgent voice, "I've got to talk
to someone! What's the matter with these people? Don't they
realize that they're looking at themselves? Can't they see
that these painiings are today's world? Look at that girl!"
She pointed to a teenager wearing sloppy shorts, a gaudy
blouse of fluorescent pink and a silly fair hat with a couple
of droopy artiflcal plumes. "She should make fun of what
she's seeing!" said the excited woman, with scorn in her
voice.
In a calmer mood she told us that she lives In Portland,
studied art under Hoffman as a girl and Is a part of the
Portland Art Museum "circle." Potpourri continued the
tour with her for a time, and found her comments en
lightening. We agreed that the works of European and South Amer
ican contemporary artists in the exhibit have more violence,
confusion and action than those of the United States artists,
which at first would seem impossible. But we also agreed
that the outcry and message of these artists is becoming
monotonous to many. It is not enough in this day . and age
to merely protest that the world Is all wrong.
Not all artists are angry, In revolt against society or
trying to change the world. Gordon Onslow-Ford, whose
extraordinary black and white paintings are on display now
at Rogue gallery, says this is an exciting time to be a part
of the world, is not fearful because of the East-West struggle
and has confidence in the future. Although his paintings
are of dots, lines, circles, whorls, etc., they do not give an
impression of disarray or disorder but rather of basic ele
ments merely awaiting a strong
to useful purpose. O.S.

Home on the Range Look
Now Home on the Campus
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York - (UPI) - The fash
ions once home on the range
now are home on the campus.
The influence of frontier
and Western regalia pervades
the new fall and winter fash
ions for the nation's coeds.
The Western look shows in
copies of frontier jackets with
tight waistbands, in saddle
stitch trim, in yoke detailing,
and neck scarves in tattersall
check or gingham patterns.
There even are snap suspen
ders and hip slung belts.
The frontier influence
shows in print calico blouses
teamed with aenim jumpers,
for instance. A favorite for
fall is the cowpoke skirt, call
ed the hipster. This skirt.
slung low on the hips, usually
teamed with broadcloth
shirt, complete with string tie.
Move lo Mohair
The low slung look domi
nates in leisure wear trousers
too. The waistband rides two
or three inches below the
normal waist and is marked
with saddle stitching or welt
seaming. Paired with match
ing jackets or pullovers, these
cowgirl pants appear for fall
in a variety of color and fab
ric-red suede cloth, blue den
im or even black velveteen.
Campus classics for fall
come with many new vari
ations. A perusal of college
shops in New York shows new
pairings for sweaters instead
of the traditional pullover
plus cardigan. A sleeveless
turtleneck can be worn with
another sweater, or by itself.
A deep V-throated sweater
goes it alone, or with a modi-
fled turtle neck underneath.
Mohair sweaters are the
coed's newest love, replacing
the Shetland. These bulky
numbers come in cardigan or
pullover styles. One has four
patch pockets that give it the
look of a blouse. For evening,
off-shoulder mohair sweaters
are paired with tweedy skirts
- a reflection of high fashion
designers' featuring souffle
wools for formal wear for fall.
Hooded Evening Dresses
Leather trim shows on
everything - on the pockets
of skirts, as fringe on a sus
pender skirt, leather belt and
pockets on jumpers, leather
weskit to match the leather
trim on a kilt-length skirt.
Other highlights of campus
fashions:
-Hoods everywhere. Jump
ers come with hoods. So do
fuzzy coats, sweaters, and
evening dresses.
-Shortie skirts includ i n g
kilt lengths run about even in
numbers with the classic
skirts in plaids and tweeds.
-The jumper is back, shown
cither with or without belt.
Jumpers with few exceptions
are pared down in silhouette.
-The little boy look, with
Eton jackets.
