That's because an exhibition of late works by James McNeill Whistler that is as complex, as extensive and as skillfully displayed as the current one at the University, is something which occurs only after years of planning, negotiating and consulting, along with a sprinkling of luck. And, this special sense of temporariness is all the more reason to visit the Museum of Art, and savor the 101 Whistler masterpieces borrowed from galleries, museums and personal collections all over the world, and AUDITIONS Soloists " Chorus * Orchestra Johann Strauss' GYPSY BARON Sign up Wednesday, Sept. 20, 7:30 pm Conference Room, New Fire Station Corner Huron and Fifth THE COMIC OPERA GUILD For further info: 665-6074 Ler: 'poetry perceptively grouped together to viewer as opposed to one o complete an unforgettable ekhibit symbols. entitled "Whistler: The Later Years." these "nocturnes" outline THE EXHIBITION, featured through progression to more October 8, helps to acquaint the public landscapes, street sce with the master's contributions to the seascapes, painted in sumpt art world between 1879 and 1903, the with glistening streams of i year of his death, with a few earlier from a variety of directions works included for comparison value, the culmination of his work This celebration of oils, watercolors, never entirely dissociated hi drawings, pastels, etchings and nature, and people are depi lithographs unveils that the genius of golden, sun-kissed fields by Whistler stretches far and beyond the famous realist portrait of his -mother, formally titled "Arrangement in Black and Gray." For Whistler's approach to art was modern in thought. If was an art of reduction and discrimination of detail. The resulting works offer k' strength and harmony in their simplicity of form.

In each of these less massive works, the experience as a whole is equally enchanting. ALTHOUGH THESE smaller works which dominate most of the exhibit have been somewhat neglected throughout most of the century the portrait was also a very important means of creative expression for Whistler, and basically unsuccessful when executed. When depicting ,his subjects he neither endowed them with qualities which were nonexistent nor flattered certain ones that did. Instead, he painted what he saw and enjoyed. He was known for taking what. pleased him, and leaving the rest. N There is a softness in Whistler's style of painting a portrait and one'.s attention is always diverted to the eyes; eyes that are deep and penetrating bllt incredibly vulnerable and sensitive 4t the same time, magical eyes that slowly grip you and bring you under their spell and don't let you go, as in his portrait of a young girl entitled, "LittLe Rose of Lyme Regis." Whistler once said, "As music is tlh poetry of sound, so is painting the poetry of sight." A finer group of poems may never have been painted. _ ~t 1-~~- Z r~ _- .r Workshop Fee $27.00 unless otherwise noted. w o r s Bring a .sack lunch on long days. ef4 Intro.to Graphic Desin Instructor to be announced. 4 Week Sessions beg.
