Pelton Jr. A LITHOGRAPH by Peter Marcus, one of several on display at the South County Bank, Mehlville. (Post-Dis patch Photo) Lithograph Display By Peter Marcus lftOTlnfi): grand, eeralog It's crazy to pay more than you have to! Mm IF! 0 CI Marcus began to draw those slanted parallelograms next to the blocks, which visual convention tells us they are three-dimensional. The conventions of three dimensional drawings are more explicit and carried further in the five most recent works, with straight lines describing forms and planes. In the earlier work, the relation of the interior forms to the four edges of the paper, a transition from improvisation and movement to resolution and balance, had been made by either a vertical stripe of the three colors used in the print or shapes emphatically attached to or otherwise related to the edge.

In the most recent works, Marcus draws an interior margin, or frame, which the forms play both with and against. It is akin to a free improvisation upon a theme but with a final, happy resolution. It is romantic work, not with any of the limp wistfulness this might imply, but rather strength, intelligence and a sense of celebration. By MARY KING Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Peter Marcus, 13 lithographs, South County Bank, South County Shopping Center, Lindbergh and Lemay Ferry Roads, Mehlville, through the month. The spirit of abstract-expressionism is alive and well in the lithographs of Peter Marcus.

This spirit, a muscular exuberance and intimacy with the properties of the medium, now appears in a more structured and formal body. This speaks not of caution but of rationality and balance. A constant theme is the play between structure and chance; between blocky forms floating and tumbling around the field, and the poured, fluid and bleeding colors that define them, seep across them and fill the space between them. In the later work, the rich pools of color take over as forms from their blocky boundaries. (The "blocks" are made by damp paper tow-, els laid upon the printing plate).
