THE MICHI GAN DIILY -I IODERN ART IN AMERICA: Prof. Slusser Lauds Rackham Exhibit Z COMMENTS CONTINUED: Economists Express Opinions On OPA Price, Wage Controls H} By LIDA DAILES "Pioneers of Art in America" now on exhibition at Rackham Galleries, provides a "wonderful opportunity" for both the professional and lay viewer, Prof. Jean P. Slusser, of the School of Architecture and Design and acting director of the Museum of Art, said yesterday. "This exhibition," Prof. Slusser stated, "has today some of the nos- talgic charm of dangerous experi- ences safely lived through and now beginning to take on the pleasant coloration of the past. Most of the battles," he continued, "of which evi- dence is here presented have long since been won or lost, and in any case the fighting has shifted to other quarters of the field." Whether to be or not to be a cu- bist, Prof. Slusser declared, is scarce- ly a living issue for any contempor- ary American. Other less mechanical, more humanly significant forms of non-objectivism are claiming the at- tention of our experimental painters of today. Surrealism, of which no trace can be found in the work of the present show, has everywhere put in appearance, and colors heavily many current directions. Prof. Slusser pointed out that it was interesting to observe the paint- ers in this relatively early group who have best withstood the intervening decades. Marin and Prendergast, both of whom worked out a rich, personal idiom of their art, are if anything, more valid today than ever. "Many people," he continued, "find modern painting baffling because they try to find meaning which it never intended to give them. Modern art is the farthest removed from the illustrational. It makes small at- tempt to reproduce as such the beau- ties of nature or of natural forms, and it has almost no traffic with sentiment or story telling. Modern art places its faith in the beauty of form,, that is, in the de- signed use in color, line, texture, mass, a type of beauty which art has always possessed in healthy periods and which largely disappeared from the debased naturalistic academicism characteristic of painting just before Cezanne." The exhibition ,which has been sponsored by the University's newly founded Museum of Art, has been brought here from the Whitney Mu- seum of American Art in New York where it was on exhibition through April and May of this year. The dis- play will continue at the Rackham Building weekdays from 2-5 and 7-10 p.m. through July 20. New Members Join Flying Club New members were taken into the University Flying Club and club poli- cies were 'discussed at the second meeting of the season held Wednes- day evening. Of the 60 active members of the club for the summer session, 25 per cent have commercial pilot licenses, 20 per cent are in the pre-solo class and another 20 per cent have soloed. The remainder are possessors of pri- vate licenses. A special call for instructors has been issued, but all those interested, whether beginners or not, are invited to join. (Continued from Page 1) The experience of this country and of other countries after the first World War, when an inflated money supply, accompanied by deferred de- mand for civilian goods, set off an inflationary spiral with the aban- donment of price controls, should not be overlooked in making forecasts of future developments, Prof. Palmer pointed out. Although historical par- allels are frequently misleading, eco- nomic conditions today are suffi- ciently akin to those of 1919 to give one cause for alarm. In a period when it is imperative that we achieve as quickly as possible a balanced production and a balanced price structure, he concluded, stabili ty in the price level, rather than ar appreciable rise thereof, should be the objective. "I am substantially in favor o the continuance of the OPA," Harol M. Levinson of the economics de partment said when questioned, "ant feel that the present policy of Con gress will be detrimental to our eco nomy in the long run." Since we have been quite success ful in keeping prices under contro during this war, as compared wit] the last, it is unfortunate to let then get out of control now, Phillip Brown visiting lecturer in the economics de partment, declared yesterday. Brown was recently in Washing ton, D.C. with the State Departmen in the Office of Research and In telligence. He is teaching interna tional trade for the summer. Taking off, price controls at thi time is deplorable, Brown stated. I is probable that the increase in price particularly in food, will lead to ne wage demands, and higher wages wi further increase prices. In additio to higher wages, stoppages in produc tion will also result, and restricte production in turn means still higher prices, he pointed out. In order to combat this tendency, Brown declared, we must put pres- sure on Congress to offset the pres- sure of those desiring to remove con- - trols. t r Dance Features Ton Desmond Tony Desmond and his orchestra, e formerly the Klaus Kuiper organiza- e tion, will be featured at informal d dances from 9 p.m. to midnight today - and tomorrow in the League Ball- room. e Sponsored by the League, the dances will be held every weekend f and will replace the Union dances d of the regular terms.
