"fr 4-D Tuesday, May 22, 1984 Philadelphia Inquirer -THE ARTS Today's book Critical essays on an art form In Chinese art, melding of language and image 4 -t i it 1 -i 4 il Review '4? i i in By Edward J. Sozanski Inquirer Art Critic The collections that Princeton University has received from alumnus John B. Elliott and the Edward Elliott family have played a major role in trans-' forming the university museum into one of the country's leading repositories of Chinese art. The museum has put 70 pieces of painting and calligraphy from the Elliott collections on view in a major exhibition called "Images of the Mind." It is a beautiful and insightful visual adventure and, in the exhibition catalogue, a major work of scholarship. The catalogue's principal essay, by Princeton Professor Wen C.

Fong, is a book in itself of more than 200 pages, tracing the history of Chinese art from neolithic times to the present. Fong's extended explication illuminates the sublimity of Chinese art, which can elude those accustomed to the declamatory style of European painting and sculpture. Unlike Western art, which is concerned with visual stimuli and re-creating experiences, Chinese art is essentially conceptual. It reflects the Chinese recognition of a unity of speech, writing and drawing that does not attend in the West. By showing painting and calligraphy together, "Images of the Mind" confirms the possibility of such unity.

The material, covering more than eight centuries (from the late 11th to the early 20th century), also serves as a survey in which the continual reinterpretation of Chinese aesthetic principles by successive generations of artists is readily apparent. The paintings deal with traditional subjects like landscapes, flowers and animals. They often include poetic inscriptions, and almost all contain additional embossments in the form of artists' and collectors' seals. Each painting combines image and language in a way that Western artists like Cy Twombley began to do only relatively recently. However, the ideographic characters of the Chinese language, which are abstractions of pictographs are intrinsically more graphic than the alphabetic characters of European languages.

Only someone who reads Chinese can appreciate how completely language and drawing are melded so that each expresses the thoughts of the other. Anyone, however, can perceive in these superb examples of calligraphy the unity of purpose and spirit that guides the artist's hand. The Chinese regard painting and calligraphy as manifestations of the same creative impulse, governed by the same aesthetic discipline. The essence of both is the gesture that is first realized in the mind and transmitted to paper or silk in a practiced motion of the arm and hand that is virtually autonomic. The beauty of calligraphy lies in that discipline.

The calligrapher attempts to strike a balance be- tween beauty and skill, strength and grace, all within very narrow parameters. The variations in calligraphic styles are somewhat analogous to the differences between fonts of type some are rounded, some angular; some are drawn slowly, others quickly. The type of brush, density of ink, position of the brush in the hand and speed of the stroke all determine the character of the mark. A major piece of calligraphy, like the 30-foot-long scroll called "Calligraphy in the Styles of Four Sung Masters," calls to mind the observation of a Chinese scholar: "Speech is the sound of the mind, calligraphy is the picture of the mind." The unity of calligraphy and drawing also expresses itself in the fluid, relaxed Chinese drawing style. The strokes appear effortless, as if the brush had barely touched the paper or silk.

In an extended view like "Landscape in the Style of Huang Kung-Wang," dated 1624, the image flows across the paper as if preordained. The progression of mountains and trees is laid down with utter confidence but without a hint of tension or anxiety. In traditional Chinese paintings, like "An Ancient House Under Tall Pine Trees" or "Landscape In the Style of Ni Tsan," both from the 17th or early 18th century, the image represents a conception rather than a transcription from nature. Space is organized according to a theatrical convention; it is essentially stacked rather than recessional like Western space. Economy of color and line accentuates the feeling of immediacy.

Even a Westerner not imbued with the cultural predisposition to such art can almost imagine tracing the flow of the mark back up through the artist's brush into his hand and arm to its point of inception in his imagination. The examples from the 19th and 20th centuries, like "Plums and Daffodils," are more chromatic and somewhat less graceful the drawing seems coarser, more athletic. Yet it remains faithful to traditional forms that go back thousands of years. Fading and aging are responsible for much of the nuances in the older pieces. A 12th-century fan-shaped landscape drawn in ink on silk has mellowed to a rich bronze hue; the image has lost definition but it has become emotionally richer.

The same is true for an extraordinary 13th-century scroll called "The Mind Landscape of Hsieh Yu-yu," whose green and blue coloring has been attenuated by light. However, the transcendent quality of the piece, the most distinguishing characteristic of Eastern art, persists. The Art Museum, Princeton University. 1-609452-3788. 10 a.m.4 p.m., Sun.

IS p.m. Through July 1. THE ART OF PERFORMANCE: A Critical Anthology. Edited by Gregory Battcock and Robert Nickas. E.P.

Dutton. $15.95. One essay in this useful but badly flawed anthology suggests that the roots of contemporary performance art, a virtually indefinable hybrid form, are to be found in Renaissance Rome. This seems a little excessive. More to the point is that artistic movements of the 20th century seem to compel artists to act out their ideas, as critic RoseLee Goldberg says in one of her essays included here.

Contemporary performance art, however, really looks back to the "happenings" of the the 1960s. These largely unscripted, improvisational events flowered into a full-scale movement in the mid-1970s, and performance art is now enjoying a mild rebirth in the mid-1980s. As Cee S. Brown notes here: "Surprisingly, despite the increasing number of active performance artists and the improved quality of their material, there has not been much growth in critical writing about performance art. Much of the writing done tends to be merely descriptive and tends to use the vernacular of the traditional art forms of painting and sculpture, shying away from the exploratory and the critical." This is all too true, and unfortunately it is a criticism that could be leveled at this anthology.

When the writing is not descriptive, it is murky, leaden and unenlightening. Sometimes it is ludicrous. In discussing Vito Acconci, a New York performance artist whose best-" known creations have placed him in personal danger, French critic Francois Pluchart writes: "The action ends at the ultimate stage of exhaustion, at the approach of death, which, if it actually came, would be for the artist a kind of setback." Indeed. Aside from opaque prose, problematic critical remarks and bad copy editing, The Art of Performance displays a serious ideological bias. It virtually ignores the role of politics and feminism in both building the performance-art movement and in providing the subject matter for some of its most memorable creations.

For this, the interested reader will have to turn to Moira Roth's The Amazing Decade: Women and Performance Art in America, 1970-1980 (Astro Artz, 1983). The omission of informed political and feminist inquiry is a serious flaw, but there is still interesting material here focusing on individual artists: Jochen Gertz, Vito Acconci, Charlotte Moorman, Nam June Paik, Laurie Anderson and Terry Fox. And there is some wonderful photodocu-mentation, including a picture of a bedraggled Jochen Gerz standing next to his own photograph on a sidewalk in very bourgeois Basel, Switzerland.

It Wendy Daryl Hannah Margaret Rachel Ward Marco Adrian Zmed Mike John Friedrich Parents' guide: (violence, profanity, nudity) By Rick Lyman Inquirer Movie Critic Tired of slasher movies starring a bunch of people you've never heard of? Good news, gore-hounds. The Final Terror a previously unreleased two-year-old splatter flick is rising from the grave at a theater near you because some enterprising genius in the marketing department noticed that among the slashees are such recent stars as Daryl (Splash) Hannah, Rachel (Against All Odds) Ward and Adrian Zmed. bits. But at least you recognize their faces. Their presence is the only distinguishing thing about this low-budget Friday the 13th rip-off.

Once again we meet alroupe of young, oversexed campers who go on a rafting trip only to raise the ire of an evil hermit with a big knife. Ack! Whack! Arrrgh! The plot includes dead bodies falling out of trees, decapitated heads showing up in remote outhouses, glass jars filled with human parts and the implication that our evil slasher is also something of a were wolf. The characters spend half of their time arguing and the other half doing really, really stupid things like going to the aforementioned outhouse in the middle of the night all alone. Without the ferocity of something like The Evil Dead or the weird humor of something like The Howling, The Final Terror is just another weekend in the country. Anybody who's ever been to one of these repulsive movies will see the shocks coming a mile away.

And lov ers of gore will find The Final Terror decidedly tame alongside such recent, state-of-the-art slash flicks as Friday the 13th the Final Chapter. But maybe the producers have inadvertently hit on something good. Perhaps from now on, all slasher movies will be kept on some back shelf for a couple of years until the kids who star in them have a chance to either rise to stardom or sink quietly into oblivio. 1 Anything that keeps slasher movies on the shelf, however long, would be heartily welcomed in this corner.
