Italian Portraitist Says an Will Spurn Abstract Art By ERNEST SAKLER United Press International FLORENCE, Italy (UPI) -Painter Pietro Annigoni, por traitist of the British royal fam ily, says the day will come when "the Christian man" will spurn abstract art and no long er be "ashamed of his own face." Annigoni, whose art has been attacked by some critics as ac ademic and photographic, is sued an impassioned manifesto against "materialism." It was in the form of an introduction to an art book which includes 80 reproductions of paintings by Annigoni's young disciple, Luci ano Guarnieri. The 53-year-old Milan-born painter said he did not consid er himself unmodern be cause he sought "advice and support" from the great mas ters of the past. Artists such as he and Guarnieri, he said, are just as "characteristic of our times" as abstract painters. "To belong to one's time, to present one's time these are ambiguous formulas," Annigoni wrote. "They are obvious if one considers that whatever a man does, he belongs to his time, whclher he likes it or not, and he represents one of its aspects. They are very questionable when one intends through them to solicit artists, if not actually to impose on them a task or an obligation . . . "Obviously even the limes can be condemnable . . . There is a desolation in the air, an unconquerable nausea, oiip would say, over the old fact of being men." Copying nature faithfully as he is doing, Annigoni said, is a bit like copying God and pay ing tribute to Him. "I, Guarnieri and his com panions belong to a group of pilgrims, also characteristic of our times even though con-1 temporary culture denies it vho in smaller numbers, in far smaller numbers, felt the need to turn for advice and support to the great masters of the Eu ropean tradition," Annigoni wrote. "And this is because we are full of nostalgia for the Christianity which support ed those masters, and full of noslalgia for the man they con quered and revealed, and whom we think it is neither right nor desirable to consider outdated. "Certainly life, which is con tinuing its course, is opening its way with a ram made of coarse materialism. Many things will change, almost all the past will be swept away, cities will be cement and glass, walls will be as shiny and smooth as the steel plates of automobiles. Speed will devour time and leave little margin far medita tion. "However, the Christian man will pass through all this and will reassert himself, without disgust for his own likeness. i happy to be able to intuit some thing infinitely superior to him self which he can admire and love." Although Annignni's words were belligerent, they weren't quite as strong as those he ad dressed to the Florence city council in 1956. Recognized Leader Annigoni at the time was the recognized leader of a crusade against the planned shipment oi brittle Renaissance master pieces to the United States for exhibition. Annigoni and his fol lowers said the change in cli mate could cause the old oils to disintegrate. They eventually forced cancellation of the plan through street demonstrations and a sitdown strike in the City Hall. Before they succeeded, how ever, Annigoni attended a City Council debate on a resolution which protested the planned shipment in terms he con sidered too weak. "That's too little. Buffoons." Annigoni shouted, and left the hall. A Florence court the follow ing year sentenced him to two months and 20 days suspended for "contempt of an adminis trative body. But the paintings stayed in Florence.
