THE GUARDIAN Wednesday September 14 1966 7 picture of Robert Indiana and his painting "A Father is a Father -mr -4) nooked on the American dream BY ITA PARNELL Kuonni uiuuuiiA is we pamier niueuuui uieatu, mm is thuma end Via preting it in a tight motif pattern reWOVen a thousand tlmoa ic nnm STANLEY REYNOLDS Something for the Gnomes working on his Seventh Dream, and -I 11 mat i vuuni nis Liove exniDiuon which, was shown this summer in New York and will be in Europe this autumn. That goes with the show of Numbers ten dazzling triptyches of the ten digits, and they too are extended parts of The Dream. Indiana is one of the top pop artists in the United States i.e., his canvases are sold for ten thousand ffnllQW Uriel mnn 41m Ikffttntam a-xF Modern Art, Until about two years -ago. Indiana and Andv Warhol worked apace together, were inseparable friends, and exhibited in the same 'gallery together. Together they were he had eaten.

He hates the jungle The American Dream has evolved into. "35 East 76th Street," he ruminates. "Imagine people having to live at 35 East 76th Street, instead of the Portobello Road. What a mishmash New York is Now Chicago is the real American town You should go there." In spite of himself, he glorifies The Dream in mocking it, and he knows it. For instance, since the Europe Bit (the classic expatriate year in Europe) he has; been smeared with the socialistic idea that electric light should be free for everyone.

"Nobody in this country need be poor he thunders. I THERE'S enough for everyone! 1 The wealth of this country! Flowing with oil, gold, minerals our barns so crammed wfth wheat we have to burn it abundance and human dynamism everyplace! And look at us TAKE ALL the bingo-win on one of his works hanging in New York's museum! is a key-expression too, a key to a country where if the dice are with you and you're a survivor, you do take all but if you go under, you lose everything. Indiana demonstrates the tramps who lie on the sidewalk outside his door, for Second Avenue on the lower East is the Bowery. These poor guys have lost all. And the last straw is that they are even exploited by the flop-house landlords." Yet when they sit ori his doorstep, he is curiously inclement.

"Go on! Be off with you now 1 1 I've told you that before!" And they smile foolishly and say Yes, Mister, and shuffle off. You express pity and Indiana rounds upon you. "Those bums would far rather have their freedom to be miserable than be locked up in any of your socialised State institutions And that is why he will go on passionately painting The American Dream, because he is hooked on it. garret is a converted trunk factory very folksy with a rocking chair and large ferns, and traffic signs and a collection of totem poles around a big, deep Victorian bed. "To you Europeans this bed seems ugly.

To Americans it is so remote that it is beautiful and rare." He found it by the roadside. There is an edifice to Samuel Beckett, too Malone's bicycle and' Malone's own town Hole made from a series of stolen railway sleepers. Of course you don't like Beckett," he soothed me. "Women never do. He excludes them from his world." And all around, there Is The American Dream.

"I paint signs," Indiana says, fondly, when questioned about the Dream. Signs like EAT HUG DIE ERR TAKE ALL. Numbers 40, 37, 39, 66, and USA 666. 666 has a special significance for him because 66 was the name of the motor-oil company his father worked for, and 666 is the name of a bottle of influenza medicine he used to take as a child. He has a Proustian nostalgic du pass6 for his childhood.

I remember going for long, long Sunday drives on the highway, and just passing hundreds of numbers for mileage and roundabout signs. 40, 37, 39, 66 EAT You know, you have the most beautiful road-signs in Europe and nobody ever paints them." It is not part of the European dream, I explain to him. There isn't one. HE says he paints The American Dream to mock it. He hates what it leads to, like the arrogance of the war, which he equates with the Korean War, in which he was obliged to serve.

"Three blank years of countdown, each beginning with 365 days 364 days 363 days until delivery." And when he came back from the war, his mother was on her deathbed, asking him only if photographed by "Vogue" and Quoted in conjunction on what would ome next on the scene. Then Warhol, who had been mixed up with underground movies and other fringe activities like Intermedia and Total Theatre (for in New York the plastic arts are kinetic, just as the cinema is plastic), went to California" and became a full-time celebrity," concludes Indiana. "California," interjects Gloria Steinem, New York's Own Swinging Girl, ex-Bunny and interpretess of Susan" Sonntag, is for nuts. Like if you turned the whole country sideways everything loose would fall down to California." So Bob Indiana went on painting The American Dream on 2nd Avenue in the Lower East Side, where he lives in a magnificent loft One day when I was six I announced to my mother that I would be an artist when I grew up," he says, and she said, Well, you'll live in a garret and eat bean soup' and do you know, that is exactly what I've done!" The Iff CHARLES IVES'S FOURTH SYMPHONY at the Promi by Edward Greenfield I RECENTLY spent three weeks ill in bed and three weeks in bed can do strange things to a man, get him completely out of touch, living in a feverish, dream world. Forewarned I busily kept my finger on the pulse beat of the great world beyond the horizon of medicine bottles.

And, better still, my eyes on the media and sometimes on the television set But have you any idea of what this country looks like to anyone who views it, even Just for three weeks, through the media What for heavens sake, muit the foreigners think of us No wonder the gnomes snigger in the Prime Minister's See when he tells them there is a squeeze on. It it all well and good for Mr Wilson to stop rich people from going abroad. Or rather, to make rich people go abroad as if they were poor people with only 50 walking around money. But why doesn't he do something about "Town," "Queen" "Vogue," "Nova," "Glare," "Glow," and Woman's Mirror from getting out of tha country and Into the hands of Just any fauna who might come along For the man seeing Britain through the eyes of its media even those occasional earnest dashes into stark grainy fraen-framed "reality," the 45 minute documentaries, produced by those angry balding box Zolas earning 6,000 a year sonoww even in the genuine anger of these box Zolas you can hear the whisper of wind being broken after a six guineas lunch at Trattoria Terrazza. So, you ask yourself, so John Griff can't get a cheeseburger on the M6 motorway? But is this really austerity, at least the austerity those foreign bankers know 'and love Cheeseburgers, indeed.

They should be eating the bark off the trees On the MS and be happy to get it And Shirley Conran should be down there in the colour supplements telling them how to prepare it After three weeks of seeing Britain through the media, I forgot mr fever, leaped out of bed, and boarded a train for London to see it for myself. I am happy to report today that some people are keeping the flag flying. Need I mention who they are? Who have always put their skinny deformed shoulders to the wheel, their already featureless faces to the grindstone in times of national emergency? Yes, be Poor People, in their thousands are coming to the aid of the Government and preserVinz the Image of Britain that the Swiss bankers want "That's right Stan," said a plucky poor person, you don't want to believe all what you read in the papers and them party mags. Some of us are coming to the barricades again in Britain's hour of need and showing the Gnomes that Britain is not frivolous. Just look at my old woman there with her cheap cloth coat wif no buttons." Coming to the aid of the Government poor people all over swinging London have given up eating in expensive bistros and wearing fab domes.

THE POOR PEOPLE of London are far from alone in keeping up Britain's Squeeze Image. A tour through one of our great provincial centres showed that Britain's provincials are also doing their share. And not only the nostalgic old people who fondly remember Britain's great days of poverty- The lower middle class is also pulling its load, and putting a grim face forward. Take a ride on any London Tube or provincial commuter train like I did and you will see all around you the lower middle class men of Britain knights in the shiny armour of threadbare with prematurely grey heads, incoherently babbling of mortgages and overdrafts. The frayed white collar workers of the country are doing their job while their little women are, I am assured, at home slaving over a blocked up sink preparing an austerity dinner the likes of which I wDl not hazard your digestion with a description there.

(When you consider the food the lower middle classes of Britain eat you begin to realise that their sacrifice is sometimes even greater than the Lower Order.) Tired but happy I returned to my genuine Victorian replica design, award-winning sick bed, and hats off to the poor people of Britain, their faces grind slowly but they grind exceeding fine. SLEEPING BEAUTY at Covent Garden by James Kennedy 1ITHY did the Kirov not open its season with "The Sleeping Beauty" which, on present evidence, is much the best of its big productions, instead of leaving it to the second week Unlike the company's jejeune Swan Lake," this production has an old-fashioned, rose petal and quite incon-testible charm about it; unlike "Cinderella," it has lovely choreography. So, for the first time during this season, we were allowed last night to see the splendid dancing which is the Kirov's chief asset, helped instead of hindered by choreography and production and the result was a treat. Choreographically this Sleeping Beauty is very close to that of the Royal Ballet; each of them, in fact gracefully confirms the other's essential authenticity. The advantage is by no means always one sided the Kirov's glosses tend to make for more spaciousness, more gentleness; the Royal Ballet's grace notes tend oddly enough-o add to the virtuosity of the dance.

A case In point is the famous Rose Adagio in which the Kirov's Aurora faces notably fewer technical problems. Last night's Aurora was Kolpakova, a superb executant whose blond, slightly steely efficiency, seems American rather than Russian. Semenov, her Prince, was much the most regal of the balletic princes yet presented by the company; he was also a fine classicist The Bluebirds were Makarova and Solovlev she was excellent but he, it is clear, is the finest virtuoso of them all. "The Sleeping Beauty" requires a dozen or more highly qualified soloists the Kirov last night showed that it bad soloists enough for the job and to spare. Albert Hall particularly, the work could literally be a riot Schuller's lack of dynamic drive was shown in some music of his own, a slow thoughtful movement called Sequences from a recent work called "Movements for Flute' and Strings." Mr Schuller explains that out of his "structural, textural and timbral interchanges a constantly fluid continuum is achieved." That may well be so on paper, but last night there was no Impression whatever of contrast in either mood or tempo.

Admittedly Mr Schuller kept varying the time-length of his beat but the music went on relentlessly in a very staid adagio. Maybe, as his admirers tell us, Mr Schuller's arguments do indeed live up to this deliberate seriousness, and certainly he makes a more conscious effort than most avant-garde composers to please the ear with his textures; but solemnity is not everything. Perhaps Mr Schuller was being no more fair to his own music than to Ives's. TT is just fifty years since unbeknown even to his intimates Charles Ives completed his Fourth Symphony. About that time in 1916 he cut himself off from those few contacts he had in the musical world, and during the rest of his life he never heard a complete performance of this highly characteristic piece.

It was left to Stokowski to give It for the first time last year in New York. It then produced high temperatures among American critics, over-eager to acknowledge Ives's genius, and it says something for our own acceptance of this great American original that last night at the Prom we had the first British performance from the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the young American composer, Gunther Schuller. The performance Itself was disappointing. From Stokowski's own record of the work made just after the New York premiere we already have a good idea of the work's positive merits. The most striking effects are ones which Ives repeatedly used the clashing of rival brass brands in different keys and different tempi, the sudden quiet contrast when a revivalist hymn-tune such as Beaulah Land is played on solo violin, the use of a popular hymn like "From Greenland's Icy Mountains as the subject for a straightforward and beautiful fugue.

These effects are essentially vibrant, and without vibrancy in the interpretation, the result is curiously lame and even perverse-sounding. Whether it was the players' fault (curiously uncommitted after their stirring efforts in Hoist's "Planets" suite under Sargent earlier in the concert) or whether it was simply that Schuller's technique was not quite up to coping with the multiple tempi, I am not sure perhaps something of both. I only hope that the many in the very large audience who plainly remained completely mystified will not just blame Ives and leave it at that. In the Royal HANS JAENISCH EXHIBITION at Newcastle upon Tyne by W. E.

Johnson I'M IN CHARGE OF THE RUINS at the Victoria Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent by Benedict Nightingale HANS JAENISCH, the elderly painter of poetic fantasy, whom the Stone Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne, introduced to this country in 1962, is now being given a full scale exhibition in this same gallery until the middle of next month. A member of the Sturm Group, the avant gardists that gathered around the magazine of the same name founded in 1910 by the Berlin poet, playwright, and composer, Herwarth Walden (1878-1941), and also of the Secession, founded in Berlin by Max Liebermann in 1899, Jaenisch's most obvious debt is to Paul Klee. It is perhaps in his watercolours on paper that he comes closest to the inspired whimsy of Klee's recreated child art; no more so than in the gentle "Flower window and the outlines of apparent bottlesbapes the "Border countryside." But it is in his other watercolours on scraps of linen, with their more coherent themes, that come closest in superficial appearance to the paintings on burlap by his more famous master. The content of Jaenisch's work is, how- ever, vastly different. Much of.

Jaenisch's work suggests a selective use of several planks of balsa. Sometimes these are at variance with each other as in the Moved Aggressively" and the "Incipient Unrest at other times, when curved, they suggest, as in "Fundstelle," the open wooden construction of an open boat: and for the most part, complemented by spidery fairly tale pylons and tele-towers, they make masonry walls and flights of stone steps that mysteriously lead nowhere. Nothing is as it seems, however, and one gets the curious impression that be doesn't so much "build" these things himself even though his picture area is still an arena and not a window on the world but that he has seen someone else's building and is dutifully making a record. It is almost as though, with per-, ception, one has been here several times before. As to his colour, he tends to use a well-balanced, even a decorative palette of warm browns and cold greys although, occasionally, as in the "Two Figures," warm yellows break through.

PETER TERSON wraps up his homilies about progress and reaction in some bizarre and dramatically striking metaphors. In "All Honour Mr Todd" be gave us a British Legionnaire, a rural Monty spouting the values of MRA, who organises a recalcitrant village into resisting the construction of modern sewers. In "I'm in Charge of these Ruins" (at the Victoria Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent) reactionary-in-chief (Ron Daniels, brooding and resentful) is the caretaker of some drab relics of Welsh fortification. He can't get it out of his head that, back in the Middle Ages, the castle's custodian was also the mayor of the town beneath It. He detests the present, symbolised by a nuclear power repeat themselves a great deal, and Mr Terson's characters are always well observed and thoroughly lifelike; but there is a point at which repetition ceases to make any valid dramatic point It comes to seem mere mannerism and Pinterism, and begins to lull the audience into torpor.

The trouble with Mr Terson's play is, indeed, that it lacks development. The characters are soon established, the social and moral points soon taken and there is not quite enough wit and humour to save the evening. For all its extravagance of setting, the play does not make watching as compulsive as Mr Terson's best effort at Stoke, The Mighty Reservoy." But he remains a promising young dramatist, who deserves wider attention than he has received so far. station beyond the south wall, and consoles himself with fantasies in which he resists the assault of insurgent Welsh Nationalists. An army corporal, driven half-demented by service in Malaya draws similar comfort from the same pretence the combination of military propriety and civilian neurosis is particularly well caught by Christopher Martin.

Then a tramp (Edward Clayton) turns up and, like Davies in "The Caretaker," jolts the old loyalties of the protagonists. Indeed, more than one member of the was muttering the name of Pinter over the coffee cups in the interval. One set of fortuitously rhyming repetitions, about being on the road and not having a fixed abode, must go on for three or four minutes.
