Yunkers:* A look at an artist of second sight

Buckley: View from the front

By LAURIE HARRIS
Adja Yunkers was walking
along the shore in Sweden dur-
ing World War II. He noticed
a piece of driftwood; bent over
and picked it up. He noticed
that the grain was nice and
there was a clean smooth feel-
ing in the palm of his hand. "It
was like holding a pebble and
feeling I held the entire moun-
tain." It was so beautiful to him
that he had to "do something."
So he translated his feelings
about the wood into a print.
Yunkers had never worked in
prints before. He is basically a
painter who has dabbled in
sculpture and mammoth walls of
pastel. He explains, "I'm a
painter but I make prints. If I
can't solve a purely formal prob-
lem in paint I make a sculpture.
An artist has to be round .
use any medium."
A collection of his prints are
on display in the Lantern Gal-
lery on Main St. The t o n e s
are rich and deep . . . his blues
are like velvet. And yet each of
his colors contains much more
than visual representation. A
deep concentrated ochre seems
to contain infinite color, depth
and perception than its mere
application as a flat tone.
And the designs of each of
the lithographs and serigraphs
(silk screen) are simplistic; each
an "individual inspiration" to
both the artist and viewer. In
their simplicity they give the il-
lusions of calm and quiet but a
second look at their roughened
edges and stark tones m a k e s
one look much deeper into him-
self and the man that would be
able to create such a compelling
piece of work.
"In New York they call me the
painter of second sight," says
Yunkers laughingly. But indeed
he is just that. One is pleased
with his work at first glance
and mystified by it at the
second.
But Yunkers explains that he
has travelled a circuitous route
in the evolution of his work.
He says that he started out
closest to Malevich, a Russian
Suprematist who applied canvas
on top of canvas in basically
white tones. In time Yunkers
evolved to grand panels of ex-
ploding pastel color. But "after
a few years one day I looked at
a work and said 'I'm bored"'
and he did almost no work at
all in the years that followed.
Eventually he started again
and developed the work in
prints that is exhibited at the
Lantern Gallery. And now he is
painting again with a prepond-
erance of white canvas on white
canvas. His love for color is still
with him he explains, but he
can't put so much color on one
piece of work as with his pastels.
And, yet, his understanding of
the potency of color is very vis-
ible in the exhibit.
Each of the prints is done
with a collage technique and
torn paper. Yunkers explains
that in one day he may make

thirty or forty crumpled and
torn papers that are for a great-
er work. However, he adds, at
the end of a day he throws out
most of them and "If one sur-
vives it may result in a print or
painting."

He sees a necessity to be fas-
cinated with the method that
lies behind every one of his
creations. For, he believes, "tal-
ent alone is not enough, you
have to know how to use it."
When tearing paper to make a

collage "the action is in your
wrist; (as he demonstrates on
an imaginary piece of paperi
you don't draw-you rip-and
the speed defines the character,
temper, and even the moral of
the end print."
A piece of work is like a mir-
ror ,to Yunkers: He has to like
and understand what he sees.
He has to be satisfied with him-
self and what he creates. "You
wake up in the morning and
look in the mirror and if you are
revolted by yourself . . . well
it's sad. Its the same with my
painting."
While visiting Ann Arbor,
Yunkers took place in two sem-
inars in the art school and made
a film with Prof. Guy Palazzola
of the art department for use
in an educational television pro-
gram. The exhibit runs through
Feb. 25, Tuesday through Sat-
urday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To the Editor:
"Worn out is the appropriate
word to describe" another ir-
relevant Daily review that miss-
ed the whole feeling of the Tim
Buckley performance. First of
all, let Mr. Stratton write his
thesis on mechanical problems,
if he wishes, but don't mas-

querade it as a critique of the
performer. Criticizing Hill is
fine, but suggesting that Buck-
ley alter his style or intent be-
cause he is not in a coffeehouse
surely is not the solution, nor
is playing more 'old favorites'
so the audience can keep awake.
Perhaps calling the concert a

performance is the wrong term,
for Buckley was not performing
so as to most easily gratify the
audience's wishes. What Buckley
was attempting to do (or so it
seems to me from my second
row vantage point) was to pro-
vide the audience with an ex-
perience. He was being his
music, not only doing it; he was
participating with his musicians
in a very free form musical
rap, and inviting the audience
to share it with them, if they
could. The rap was not quite
free; Buckley subtley controlled
his octopus' garden, not con-
ducting as much as feeling out
with his people where they were
going; Buckley gliding about the
stage, gesturing beautifully with
his hands and body was what it
was all about. Yes, Mr. Strat-
ton, they were "freaking out"
in that .It was a very stoned
kind of experience, demanding
on our part participation in
their rap with our own selves
and letting the Buckley ten-
taclps weave around us.
Buckley alluded last night to
his fear of fame perverting a
\'star's' creativity. Tim gave a
highly subjective concert in
which the audience was only
secondary and he demanded
that they accept him on his own
terms, and then participate in
an honest experience and walk
out feeling a little stoned, as
with last year's Ravi Shanker
'experience.' If you want to hear
Buckley's songs, buy his albums;
if you want to be with him at a
live performance, don't demand
that he play for your benefit-
tune into him, O.K., and see
how that feels. Tim Buckley was
t h at "Gypsy Wo m an" last
night, casting his spell on all
within feeling range. All that
was required to be enchanted
was that we believe.
