MERCER ART EXHIBITS The current art exhibition of print* by William Hogarth was concluded at Mercer University Sunday, October 16 with a gallery talk by Anthony R. W. Stanafeld. Mr. Stansfeld, associate professor of art at Mercer, spoke on “The Art of Hogarth.” The Hogarth prints were the opening exhibition of the current season and have drawn much at tention during the past three weeks. The exhibition, entitled “The World of William Hogarth”, con tain 116 prints and included nearly all of the British artist’s graphic work. They were lent by the Anglo- American Art Museum of the Louisiana State University, and are being circulated under the auspices of the Smithsonian Insti tution Traveling Exhibition Service. Mr. Stanafeld, a fellow country man of the 18th century artist, holds two degrees from Oxford Uni versity. He has been a member of the Mercer University faculty since 1948, during which time he has traveled extensively in Europe, T Jilin America and the Middle East. He spends several months each year traveling and living in Mexico and Spain, where he writes books under the pseudonym “Dane Chandea.” Marshall Daughtery, chairman of the Department of Art, announced that an exhibition of lithographs by the great Austrian Expression ist, Oskar Kokoschka, went on view Tuesday and remains open to the public through Oct. 30. The 65 prints, entitled; King Lear, Apulian Journey and Hellas, are lent by Marlborough Fine Art, London, and the exhibition is spon sored by the Austrian Embassy and being shown under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. Kokoschka was born in 1886 in Poechlam, Austria, the son of a Czech goldsmith. At one point in his early life he supported himself by painting fans. Always a rebel, most of his artistic life seems to have been spent in opposition to the paints taking attention to detail required by goldamithing and fan painting. He lived and studied in Vienna prior to World War I, where he came under the influence of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, the young Austrian Expressionists, as well as the Jugendstil Movement. Also in fluential was the Expressionist group of Dresden known as Die Brucke, where the artist lived and taught from 1917 to 1924. During the 20’s and 30’s he wandered about Europe and the Mediterran ean, fleeing to London in 1938, where he spent the war years. Kokoschka came to the United States in 1949 and taught at the Museum of Fine Art’s school in the Berk shires, and later at the Minne apolis School of Art. He now lives and teaches in Salzburg, Austria. Of hiB duties as a teacher, he has said: “An artist has a special necessity to look after the next generation. I must save a little cul ture for the youngsters so that they will not be starved.” Kokoschka finds lithography an ideal medium, as it combines his gifts as both painter and draftsman. The prints in this series continue his lifelong interest in graphic art and at the same time permit him great freedom of expression. The graphic art of Oskar Koko schka reflects all the developments and transformations of a long creative life. In all the works in these series. King Lear, Apulian Journey and Hellas, one sees the zest and job for life which moti vated the artist. Georgia Politics NOTE—This column was written shortly after Maddox’s run-off victory. Now, after having watch ed things a bit longer and after seeing the “Lea’ and Bo Show” on television, 1 am not so sure as to who will win the race; Callaway and/or whoever is ad vising him is/are a good bit cleverer than I had originally thought.—WGD One thing about Georgia politics, there’s never any lack of color. As a Floridian, I have been only an observer during the past few years, but from the first, there’s been a good bit more to observe than I ever noticed at home. Coming up here as a fresh man I saw several of the Griffin-Senders speeches and heard the numerous heated arguments about that race from all the Georgian denizens of Sher wood Hall. Looking forward to a good race this year, I have not been disappointed (except in the relatively min or fact that the only candidate who really seemed able and qualified to govern, Ellis Arnall. dropped out of the picture). Now, with Lester promising to abolish Federal guideline* and Bo still delivering ^mechsa obviously written for a race with Arnall (someone ought to tell him), things will certainly not be dull I suspect that Maddox (“The Lester of two evils” as he has been dubbed by one faculty member) will win the race. The former proprietor of the Pickrick has the advantages of being better known (a house hold word), a good, appealing speaker, a Democrat and backed by a solid phalanx of seasoned, intelli gent, wheeler-dealer politicians of every political tint from Carl Sanders to Marvin Griffin. Calla way, on the other hand, is touched with segrega- tioniam as far out as Lester’s but not nearly as clever or colorful, a short and undistinguished po litical record, a short and undistinguished list of political friends, and lots of money. Then, too, Les ter looks like the little businessman next door—far mors easy to identify with than Bo, who looks like a rich but not over-bright politician. Although it must be admitted that too much of Ellis A mail’s campaign was aimed at a 1939 audi ence and that he occasionally acted like FDR was still in the white bouse, instead of LBJ, his defeat is still fairly good evidence that Georgia is not real ly interested in able, qualified leadership this year Governor Maddox will certainly provide more inter est and color than anyone around and he is in all probability the most capable of the figures left in the race—no one who can have thousands of people clamoring to boy axe handles for $4.00 each can be bad for the economy. Freshman Talent Contest The sophomore class played host to an audience packed auditorium at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 11th at the annual freshman talent con test, which was held at Willingham Chapel.
