lew The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, July 31, 1960 "The Skating Rink," painting by Rutli W. Smith, is set for Traveling it finds a place to travel. Air. Art Show Readies for Road "All cratod no place to go!" That's the situation the 3960 traveling exhibit of the Utah Institute of Fine Arts will be in Monday when the show is removed from the rotunda of the State Capitol, reports Alice Morrey Baiiey, chairman of the Institute's Art Committee. But chances are heavily in favor of its being kept on the run when requests start poun'ng in from outlying areas of the state.

A backlog of requests which the institute could not fill last year will be honored this year, Mrs. Bailey said. This traveling exhibit will mark the second year of the program which was attempted on an experimental basis in 1959. Tiie experiment was found so successful that it has been adopted as a permanent part of the institute's program, Mrs. Bailey noted.

In 1959 the exhibit traveled to 18 different schools and area--; of the state in many of which there had never been an art exhibit before. It traveled from as far to the north as the Cache Valley area and as By George Dibble Visiting In Salt Lake City is a former Utahn who achieved distinction as an illustrator for many of America's Ie ad ng ma a7 lrics Artist C. Clyde Squires of Great Neck, Long Island, recalls that he shared a train seat to New York with Harold Orlob at the turn of the century. His drawings were destined to catch the eyes of readers of. Life, Argosy, Munsey, Delineator and other magazines and 1 Mr.

Orlob's Songs were to please the nation's popular music lovers. i Reprints oi "Her Gift," best known of Mr. Squire's illustra- I tions achieved an all time record for popularity. Mr. Orlob's best I known composition was "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now." "Her Gift," painted a few years after the artist's marriage to Elva Eliason of Logan, Utah, was inspired by the birth of the Squires' son Charles.

A study of the young mother affectionately presenting the new born infant ic? the father's fond approval, captivated the editor of "Success" magazine who featured it in the Christmas number of 1909. A deluge of requests for reprints followed publication. "For All Eternity" Another of Mr. Squires' illustrations, a wedding titled "For Ali Eternity" appeared in the "Delineator" before being reprinted for a circulation by Brown and Bigelow. Another drawing reproduced in rotogravure was offered as a premium for subscriptions to several leading magazines.

One of Mr. Squires' early illustrations, it had first appeared in "Life" magazine. "Seeing it reproduced as my first double spread gave me quite a thrill. It looked as big as a 24-foot poster," Mr. Squires commented when recalling the event.

John Amos Mitchell, 'editor of, "Life," pronounced an Illustration depicting a World War I troop laden ocean liner leaving a crowded dock, as the "best war cover we ever had." When Mr. Mitchell died the famous artist Charles Dana Gibson took over for a few months. Mr. Gibson commended the Salt Laker highly for his excellent work. "They're All Good" Mr.

Squires was a close acquaintance of the late James Montgomery Flagg. He recalls an occasion when Mr. Flagg was waiting for an art editor to look over his preliminary drawings. "This one is good" said the editor. "Damn it, they're all good," exploded Flagg, "How many do you want?" He confided to Mr.

Squires who had overheard, "an art editor is nothing but a stumbling block on our way to teach the public." Elected to a membership in the-Society of American Illustrators, his work was exhibited in London where he was hailed as one of America's leading illustrators. He engaged a studio for a tims in Wilmington, Delaware, where he worked with Howard Pyle. He also studied with Howard Chandler Christy. Other IKahns Follow His second trip to New York followed a summer during which he collaborated with Jack Sears in conducting the School of Illustration in the Templeton Building. When he returned to the east a second time he was accompanied by Watson Barrett He was followed a year later by Mr.

Sears. Mr. and Mrs. Squires will return to their home in August. Their son Charles was recently appointed Research Director for Griswold Eshclman "Advertising Co.

Their daughter Jean is married to an advertising director and lives in New York City.

The display will be routed and crated by the institute offices and will be available for a year of traveling. The route is planned for convenient transportation, not by order of request. Addition of part of the Institute's permanent collection to the traveling exhibit is now in the "talking stage," said Mrs.

Bailey. "The pictures don't belong just to the people of Salt Lake," she added. Just now the institute is trying to get funds for the cleaning, renovating and cataloging of the permanent collection, Mrs. Bailey stated. Groups interested In displaying the 1960 Traveling Art Exhibit should contact the Utah Institute of Fine Arts for information and making application, Mrs.

Bailey said. By Losvell Durham This column has long favored an accelerated program or cultural, as well as educational, exchange between our country and the rest of the particularly, between East and West. If there is to be understanding between the world's two major political- economic systems, it will come essentially through such "exchange. Events of recent years (and, indeed, months!) prove that "art unites while politics divides." Certainly it seems that our performing artists have succeeded where diplomats have failed. While the fanatic anti-Eisenhower demonstrations in Tokyo (deliberately provoked by the Communists) were in the planning stages, Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony were complet- Dr.

Durham ing their month-long Japanese tour with great popular success. The orchestra visited all four of the nation's islands, giving twenty-two concerts to approximately 50,000 people. A recent editorial in Musical America, commenting on this seeming paradox, noted that "a remarkable phenomenon attendant upon the failure of the Summit conference and the suspension of President Eisenhower's visit to Japan is the completely different face presented to the West, and to the United States in particularly, by the citizens of the U.S.S.R. and populace as distinguished from its political the cultural level." Cheers for CHburn The same article points out that "in a matter of days after the U2 incident and Premier Khrushchev's insulting tirades in Paris, Van Cliburn returned to a hero's ovation at the scene of his 1958 triumph. tears and floral tributes greeted him on all sides as he proceeded from city to city on a five-week tour of the Soviet Union." Similar the wake of political failure was enjoyed by two other American artists, Isaac Stern, on the heels of another triumphal tour of Russia, commented: "May there be more American planes in the Soviet and more Soviet planes in the United only with artists!" During this same period of tension, soprano Roberta Peters, according to Musical America, "was scoring high in recitals in Leningrad, Tbilisi, Erevan, and Baku, as well as in Moscow, where she won an ovation lasting more than a half hour.

Toward the end, the audience moved down to the stage shouting bravos." American Ballet Applauded And, in the field of ballet, "for the first time in history, on May 30, an American girl, Anastasia Stevens, 17, danced a major solo on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater where she won accolades from the audience for her performance of a. role for which Ulanova is famous. "There has been no hint that any of these demonstrations was politically They came quite clearly from mortals unable to resist expressions of warmth and appreciation for the artistic accomplishments of a fellow human being. U2s summitry, and rocket-rattling apparently can be forgotten, at least momentarily, when people are in communion with each other on a cultural level, whether it be music, sports, science, or husbandry" concludes the editorial. Blanche Thebom, Metropolitan Opera mezzo-soprano in a New York TIMES article pleading for more government support such exchange, writes that "the ANTA (American National Theater Association) part of the program has for the last five years cost the government little more than two million dollars a year, and has given value in helping keep the peace far more effectively than, say, an atomic submarine costing many times more." She points out the need for a Department of Fine Arts in our Government: "It was embarrassing to have to admit that because we do not have a Department of Fine Arts certain things possible for them (Iron Curtain countries) are impossible for us." Because the American ventures are only partially underwritten by the government, it is necessary to defray expenses through ticket sales.
