But when TV fiction parallels recent controversial headlines, it feels con strained by a desire to remain fair, to give both sides of an issue which has already been covered by news accounts plus well thought out opinions from all sectors, a result, characters (the college chan cellor, the governor, local mayor, student leaders) are all badly overdrawn, and some dramatic values diluted.

Silvermine Guild of Artists, 1017 Silvermine road, New Canaan. Through July 11. Open daily, including Sundays, from 12:30 to 9 p.m. Admission free. Expected this year from the New England annual exhibition was the unexpected.

Juror Lawrence Alloway forewarned as much with his views on one-trend, style-conscious exhibits. The work selected (only 168 from more than 1,000 paintings and sculptures) variously reflects the many stylistic facets employed In painting and sculpture today. Sculpture was whittled down from 59 (in 1970) to 32 pieces. The selection also reveals the critic's unique position of independence, his punning and challenging any convention as to what is or can be considered art. The sleek, calculated museum director's shows of the last two New England annuals came off impressively as "shows." But one more single-minded modernist show would forestall all sense interminable bore.

THE 1971 exhibition is not a bore, simply from its element of surprise. That a healthy diversity--traditional, modernist, postmodernist reigns over the art of today is Mr. Allbway's message. color boatscapes and Andre Wyeth emulations, but in a chievous moment slipped In of his little surprises an believable sunset. The much written word recen ly on the "new" realism and comeback of realism doesn neecssarily apply to the artists question here.

Realism for the isn't new. They are just findi themselves In a new wave favorable wind, much the sam as those rigid abstractionists found themselves suddenly covered" with the famous sponsive Eye" show in 1966.

Octogen erian Kate, Manning's quaint an charmingly primitive basket flowers is another surprise, mo so with the bestowal of the Larr: Aldrich award. This impish ge ture may backfire, however. directness and originality in Ka Manning's little flower bask will certainly outlive any of prize-winning daisies, mushroom or spilling apples. One West coast critic has com up with a label for the new phot graphic realism the "Ne a comfortable, well-used arm chair by Eleanor Rowley, a set of doors opening onto a salt meadow with a discreet suggestion of surrealism by Mac Squires, and two brilliantly colored unadorned, architectonic windows by Helene Brier. THE ABSTRACT WORKS, In the hands of Silvermine display artist, Robert Franco, can be made to look good in any setting.

He has coordinated a stunning display in Hays Hall (the leftovers hang in Gifford auditorium). the garden leaves much to be desired. Norman Tinker's small cement and pebble- studded architectural slab seems lost and lonely, while Olafs Zei- denberg's huge glistening blue plastic organic forms out of place in a sylvan setting. The look of abstraction is slightly post-romantic. Color's are softer and preiiie'r-- party- cake pinks, lime-ice greens, birthday candle blues and a sweet tooth for mauves and violets.

Raw canvas with sprayed monochromes or delicate calligraphy takes on a new elegance. Materials are flimsier, more perishable and capricious-- plastic bags, film strips, beach balls, string, And scale, in painting and sculpture, is less grand and commanding. Perhaps the diminished number of abstractionists serves to their advantage. One is aWare that their selection has been carefully 'Repetitions, especial- 1 ly in the" geometries, have been avoided. Second-generation abstract' expressionists' have as much voice as the hard-edged constructivists.

One is aware, too, that the currently popular, lyrical abstraction, for sonic reason, has just 'as consciously been omitted. The only conceptual work is 'Reginald Case's' papier mache 'stilWifes (a 'sea and landscape tableau). WITH' SOME of the' artists there is a 'feeling of having seen it one time too niany-- James -Meyer's 'enameled chrome scalloped cut-outs, Tim- line Ogdon's'c'olored plastic molded baubles' that resemble a hotel lobby 'perfume 'case', Sta Wie- mirrored 'slab, Hisao Hanafusa's rows of canvas- covered 'tubes. other familiar names Paul Camabho, Charles Daugherty, Leonard Fisher, i Jack Marshall, Marjorie Walzer, 'Robert Franco-- you will not seen it before.

Jack Marshal has aban- daned his traditional sculptor's, materials for plastics and problems of light. His plastic bubble is the gayest, wittiest 'piece in the show.

Inside the bubble are 9 limp beach balls embellished in a patchwork of lavender, pink, blue, yellow, orange, and green (the same colors and design are painted on the exterior of the bubble case). Don't miss the fun by falling to step on a little foot pedal. The deflated forms slowly rise and swell into the beach balls. Marjorie Walzer, also in a new medium, is at her best in her new-found plexiglass modules and boxes. With meticulous craftsmanship she enlivens her geqmetric forms with soft colors --violets in "Spatial Progression" and yellows in her prize- winning "Yellow Capers." THREE NEWCOMERS to the New England exhibition (all prize-winners) added to the aforementioned names, are the most satisfying artists in this show- sculptor Joe Neil (Hartford), Ernest Dieringer (West Redding)j and August Madrigal (Bridgeport).

Joe Neil's elegant black and white environmental structures were first seen (and never forgotten) in the Hemingway Gallery (New York) last November His entry for the Silvermine show was a series of four open- frameworks, fitted into one. From each box is suspended by hooks, clear. 'debatable plastic squares. "Made in America, No. 18," in its complexity and architectural reference' to mass and plane, creates its own environment.

It seems strange for Ernest Dieringer to win a prlM for his sprayed monochromes on raw canvas "Icarus he has been known colorist. His mastery at juggling squarei and the vestiges of Ms former color sense tan be seen in the Gifford auditorium in "4 4 4." "Icarus Souartf is nonetheless beautiful, cool and quiet meditation on the chromatics of the Cubists. At the same time his shifting squares of transparent whites reveal some pronounced futurist ideas In the realm movement between static and dynamic elements. The futurists' theory never did work, for their lack of technical know-how. Dierlnger's moving planes August Madrigal is an intensely cerebral artist for a watercolorist.

His "Red Temple" won the Lord and Taylor award but his "Blue Temple" is even more beautiful. It is always amazing that his work can be so sparkling and jewel-like in color when the whole architectural structure has been developed from supreme logic (an Albers logic ol relationships), i Perhaps by the time the 1S71 New England Exhibition fades into history, it may not go down as the worst show, but neither will it be remembered as the -MARTHA B.

The modernist of the realist is Salvatore Gulino (Harwinton, who reintroduces the subjects and compositions of great figurative paintings. In "Picnic" he combines the figures of Manet's "Dejeuner sur L'Herbe" In the foreground, with figures from Leger's "Family Portrait at the Beach" in the background, but without the usual logics of perspective.

Gulino is not alone in this new style. John Clem Clarke Is the most widely recognized artist to openly copy and credit the great masters. But Gullno is the first to be seen locally. The whole wave of artists fror San Francisco to New Orlean New York who are paintini heir references from celebratei works in cartoon fashion ar able, at the same time, to defin an aspect of our culture.
