"Does a painting come to life''
ii it does, why does It? Or, if It
doesn't, why not?"
Such questions a person should
ask hilBMli when he is looking at
a painting, suggested Mr. Gregory
Ivy, head oi 'he Department of
Art, to his graduate class la-t
Thursday when it discussed the
current exhibition of contempor-ary
art in Elliott Hall.
Commenting in general on Mr
Ivy's suggestion. Mr. James Cog-gin,
graduate assistant in Ait in the class did not like the palnl-staled

Common Background Helps
Continuing, Mr. Ivy pointed out
that an additional barrier to un-derstanding
might lie in the repre-sentation
of reaction to a new
environment; for Okada's work ex-hibited
here was done soon after
he came to the United States."

Okada Larks Vitality: Carroll
Bthef student in are.
Linda Carroll specified more clear-ly
how a painting comes to life
for her. She looks for justification
of why tht artist "does what he
does In his work" The painting,
number eleven, by a Japanese art-ist,
Okada. larks vitality for her
because she did not see form tak-ing
place in it. And thus, the paint-ing
elicited little response from
her.
Mr lw (onjei tured that Ameri-cans
might find it difficult to re-spond
to the Japanese artist's work
because Americans lack Oriental
background expressed in the paint-ing
"I found that Okada's paint-ing

Why a painting does not cause
a response might stem from other
factors, too. For example. Mr
Louis Berry disclosed that he had
liked Graves' work which he had
seen sometime ago. But he did not

Mr. Ivy pointed out that the ab-sence
of response might be due to
changes In Graves' painting or in
changes in the observer over time

that because there Is little going

Other characteristics of the pres-ent
generation further explain re-action
to paintings. "Much em-phasis

all of this indicates that the paint-ing
