T w o THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, September 24, 1969 Kicgc Es\o THE MICHIGAN DAILY arts festival =- Let the object- not the artist -do the teaching S GC (3)SEIATS OPEN By NVANDA IPANATIELA In ail odd s'ort of way, often the very talent of an artist does an injustice to his creation. For upon leaving air exhibit it is often the spirit of the artist, and an admiration for his talent that is remembered-.-not an ad- miration for the painting itself'. Quite the opposite case is true with "Connoisseur's Col- lection." currently on display at the University's Art Museum. The collection, is taken from over 1300 works in the estate of the late Paul L. Grigaut, who was an associate director of the museum and professor in the art history department. Anid to say that the collection stands as a tribute to one man's stu- died knowledge would be to misunderstand the intent of the exhibit. Rather, it reflects an appreciation by one man for the' works themselves, their form, their delicacy. There is no one "school" or period, no one medium or favor- ed artists, that guided Mr. Gri- guat's selection. Rather, it seems Mr. Grigaut sought to find ob- jects which had the< power to stimulate a curiousity a b o u t themselves--apart from their tine, creator, or ideas. While the collection contains a wide variety of mediums--- painting, ceramics, lithographs and etchings-amassed from al- most all times-early China, 19th century Arherica and 14th century Europe-there are mark - ed similarities which character- ize the exhibition. Few of the objects explode with a life that goes beyond the canvas. All re- flect a preoccuptio~n with things controlled and things delicate-- whether it be a portion of a Biblical manuscript or a satirical etching of Voltaire. In this view, the extensive display of 17th and 18th cen- utry etchings and engravings, best express this fascination. Not only is each painistaking in detail, but the subjects chosen -the majestic delicacy of lace and wigs-exploit the possibili- ties of this medium. Possibly the most entertaining is Jean Hubers "Etchings of Voltaire." In muted tones, over twenty faces of Vol- taire are drawnI and redrawn, each a bit different: one face a bit mad, another a little whimsical, some sublime, some satirical. Johann Gerog Pintz's "View of Palana Interior" is almost maddening in its precision. Each line, each cure, each twist of an ornate Baroque drawing room is intensifier) by its ac- curate ireproduction, In an almost surprising con- trast to the muted tones and tight detail of the collection are the expansive lithographs and serigraphs of Maholy-Nagy, Paul Klee, and Ferdinand Leger. While surprisingly bright and spacious they in essence, sum- marize the whole exhibit. For' in a sense, they are merely blow-ups of portions of the pre- cise etchings. And they extract the linear balance and symmetry is squeezed into every line of the etchings. The Michigan Daily, edited and mntui- ag ed by students at thie UniversitJ, of Micehigan.
