THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, JUL
ate Library Opening OF THE SURREALIST SCHOOL:
jonal Cement Strike Visiting Russian Emigrant Teaches Modern A
By ERNEST ZAPLITNY
"Art has a life of its own; it.
cannot be a part of politics," Boris.
Margo said in explaining why he
left his beloved Leningrad Acad-
emy of Art in 1930.
Margo, inventor of the cellocut
process of art printing, ipainter,.
sculptor and prolific writer on
modern art, is now conducting a
six-week course at the art school.
Born in the Ukraine, he entered
the Leningrad Academy in 1927
where he studied in Filanov's "An-
alytical School of Art."
Filanov was an inspiring teacher,
Margo said, whose theory was
based on a search for "form with-
out preconceived ideas."
'Smallest Point'
Margo described this as "start-
ing from the smallest point, a {dot,
to line, to form, to object, to
subject." He named Filanov a
pioneer of surrealism.
Later surrealists, he said,, used
the same technique in their ap-
proach to this new art form.
He spoke of his first few years
at the Academy as an "adventur-
ous period in modern art." Russia's
young people--the intelligentsia-
were eager for new forms of ex-
pression in all fields.
Before 1930, he, added, the Com-
munist regime had not yet clamp-j
ed down on all aspects of cultural
freedom. But the proselytism of
art into a facet of Marxist ideol-
ogy began to be felt at about that
time and he left that year.
"Russia has no art at all now,"
he reflected sadly.
Margo arrived in America in
1931 at the age of 27. He com-
mented that he found an agree-
able absence of a domineering
influence in art here.
"We are not bound by tradition,"
he said. "We learn from tradi-
tion," he observed, "and by add-
ing to it we create. That is why
I believe this country will lead in
art of the future."
In 1932 he began experiments
which led to, his development of
the cellocut process, considered as
the first innovation in fine art
printing since the Renaissance
contributions.
Dissolve Plastic
The process begins with plastic
dissolved in acetone. The resulting
varnish is poured into a rigid
support where it can be textured,
raised into relief, or working with
tools. Printing plates are cast
from the impressions.
Cellocut can also be used in
painting and sculpture. In paint-
ing, Margo explained, the canvas
