The Barton collection at the Lowe Art Museum, "Arts of the Southwest: Santos, Retablos, Tex. tiles and Pottery" deserves a second visit. For, vying with the visual ap- olicy peal of the impressive collection of blankets, are the bultos (wooden sculptures of saints), the retablos (paintings on gesso-coated pine panels) and the fascinating kachinas.

Carved of cottonwood by mem- Dobbs bers of the tribe, bultos were placed In niches, where they were venerated. Artistically, the figures are severely rigid, projecting unmoving majesty; the eyes large with a fixed stare; noses, prominently angular. Although several different styles of painting are -seen in the retablos most by unknown painters those of Miguel Aragon are important for their unique and for their influence on other painters. Aragon, in covering the pine panel with white gesso, applied additional layers of gesso to support the figures be would later paint on the prepared panel. This emphasis on the figures creates a three-dimensional effect.

The frames of the various paintings are of Interest In themselves. Some are original antique carved frames; some paintings are matted with remnants of blankets. The kachina dolls appear exciting almost like playthings. But. to the Hopi Indians, they represented universal spiritual forces and were essential to the chit'dren's religious education.

In anticipation of the great festivals honoring the kachinas, fathers and uncles prepared dolls for' each child. At the time of the ceremonial festivities, a relative presented each child with a doll. The children took the dolls home where they were placed on the wall to be seen constantly. The Pueblo and Zuni Indians also revered the kachlras, and examples from these tribes are displayed in this small portion of the Barton bequest. The titles of the kachinaS are amusingly descriptive: Little-Bat Man has black ears and wears a white cape: Sunflower's face is a large disc of sun.

Almost two feet tall, with moveable arms, the doll is painted in pinks and greens and wears a rawhide sash. There is a bug-eyed kachina, and a long-snout kachina and one with an elaborate headdress resembling the stepped facade of a cathedral. These are the "real" kachinas at the Lowe. However, entering a small adjacent gallery, a visitor may suspect he has entered moppet-land. For here are 18 more dolls kachinas made by children in the Lowe's Beaux Arts classes.

Encouraging their imaginations was instructor Sandy Goldman. What the children produced is a revelation of observation of looking carefully at art and truly seeing it. The kachinas are not copies. but delightful Interpretations. One doll has lovely yellow braids; straw be." comes hair.

often elaborated with feathers. One is an explosion of color with purple body, pink head and blue hat. And on the walls float "Scaminals" fantastic I combinations of "made-up" animals. Painted and stuffed, they and their companion kachinas remind us of the fertile, free-langing imagination of the child. A refreshing and happy museum experience for the eye and the spirit.
