Show 1217 The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, February 12, 1961 From Valentine to Blood Bath f - , Variety Spices Music Menu -- T,ft'4tK By Delos Smith Pro International j NEW YORK, Feb. 11 Big city variety is endless, people say. Monday night New York music patrons will have the following choice: They may go to Carnegie Hall and witness the presentation of a musical valentine to Leonard Bernstein. Or they may go to the Metropolitan Opera and witness a young woman persuading her brother to slay their mother off stage. The latter is the Mets first attempt to revive Richard Strauss opera, Elek-tra- , in 10 years. No one has succeeded yet In making It live with the big music public, but opera people naturally have to keep trying. as It Is a good opera opera. The music is some of the best of the composer who has the distinction of being the creator of the finest opera of the 20th century, Der Rosenkava-lier- . namely, B United 4CS iJ2 fmrvk IMl -- it. - tl:. 1- , ' ' .X; 4V 1 4' Detail from The Village Fair by Cornelius Dusart, one of 50 paintings Included in Dutch Masters exhibit coming to Fine Arts Museum, shows gusto, a flair for fine work. Dutch Master Show Lusty, Detailed They had a lusty sense of humor and an eye for detail, the Dutch masters of painting and printmaking of the 17th century. Sometimes raucous, some-time- s intimate, sometimes just showing quiet seascapes or landscapes or animal studies. The Golden Age of Holland opening Tuesday at University of Utahs Museum of Fine Arts exhibits prints by some of the greatest artists of 17th century Holland. The Dutch elevated in the realm of art the pleasures and surroundings of everyday life with an unsurpassed attention to directness and detail. Among the artists represented are Ferdinand Bol, Jan Booth, Cornells Dusart, Adiiaen van Ostade, Rembrandt van Ryn and Jacob van Ruysdael. Fifty etchings and engravings are on view. The exhibition was organized by the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, California Palace of the Legion of Honor, and is touring museums and art institutions tjyoughoyt the country under the auspices of the American Federation of Arts. Technique used in some line engraving and more predominantly etching, allowing freer play of line, more subtle use of light and shade and a softer impression of design. Exhibit will be open Sundays, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., and 1 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. in Room 400 Park Building on U. of U. campus. Display is scheduled to hang to March 6. Sculptor, Lincoln Interpretor To Give Lecture on Lincoln Dr. A v a r d Fairbanks, sculptor and noted interpreter of Abraham Lincoln, will speak Sunday at 8 p.m. in a special program commemorating Lincoln's birthday at the West Junior Ballroom of University of Utah Union Building. Fairbanks models of Lincoln will be on display and the program will be followed by a reception. Dr. Fairbanks, a native Provoan, studied art at the Art Students League in New York, in Paris and in Florence. He has taught at the University of Oregon, the University of Michigan, and organized the College of Fine Arts at University of Utah in 1947. Because of his work in Lincolniana, Dr. Fairbanks received an honorary doctorate in fine arts from Lincoln College, 'Lincoln, 111. He studied fine arts at Yale University and received an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in anatomy. that plot! Elektras mother killed her father, you see, and Elektra is fathers girl in the Freudian sense. But She shrinks from performvengance ing herself and tries to talk (sing, that is) sister Chryso-themi- s into doing it. Dances on Grave Then along comes brother Orestes. He goes for her needling. As an added measure, he slays mothers lover, too. Beside herself with happiness, Elektra- - dances on fathers grave. Curtain. That was a shocker back in J909 when Elektra had itfi first performance, quite as shocking as Salome which Strauss had given to the world some four years earlier. The Met management of the time dared to put on "Salome since it also is opera. A horrified good board of trustees ordered it withdrawn after only one e Utah Art Week Landscape Art Exhibit Shows Warmth, Vigor By George Dibble landscapes displayed by Lynn Fausett at the Utah State Historical Gallery represent some of the most recent paintings by the noted muralist. Mr. Fausett, a native of Price, returned to Utah at the height of a successful career in New York City to interpret the scene he felt he knew best. The present show offers considerable justification for his native preferTwenty-fiv- ence. Employing a method of underpainting and overglazing developed from the work of the old masters, Lynn and his brother Dean, now a resident of Vermont, have achieved a luminous style that glows even under soft light. A startling vitality of light values coupled with strong representational interest and an unusual-commanof scale mark this an unusual group of canvases. Mr. Dibble It is this profound sense of scale that establishes both extensive literal reach and deep space in "Utahs Grand Canyon," Descent Into Panamint Valley and Diamond Bar X Ranch. This is particularly evident in the latter where foreground figures of cowhands on a cattle drive are restrained in hue and scale. Such subordination also applies to the feathery block of autumn trees on the canyon floor. Thus projected into the mountain ranges in the background the strong visual interest is extended to cloud created patterns of alternate warmth and coolness. The same luminosity of pigment that accounts for the far flung pattern of light and dark, accounts for intensive lush greens at the valley floor that set off the ,red clay earth pigments forming the basic hue pattern. Gathering storm clouds, half naked tree and the frost burned green on the lush valley floor affirm the seasonal theme. d Library Shows Portrait Exhibit Fred, portrait by William J.

Gallachar, Owner 7th East 'j Light Almost Surrealistic A fantastic play of light and shade forces detail to maxi- mum expression almost surrealistic at time and virtually to the point of visual .fatigue in some instances. However, the treatment of the many faceted textures at Dead Horse Point, for example, are successfully Integrated into flowing rhythmic patterns. This is true of the delicate traceries of wind erosion in the Glen Canyon study. In a few instances versimilitude which is undoubtedly relied upon for factual relationships interferes with the smooth integration between harsh shapes of land masses. The display of drawings at the Tower Theater East is the first exhibition of works by Dale Bryner since his return from study in European centers. It presents ample evidence that the University of Utah graduate has developed command of a style that expresses his own firm convictions and deeply motivated purposes. A firm design sense and adequate draftsmanship distinguishes items in this show. Particularly outstanding are Caballero where the intricacies of resourceful drawing generate lively interest in the design. Distortion pursues the more intensive aspects of the subject In Figure With Masks and Paper Wrapped Flowers." The carefully chosen pieces leave the viewer with a keen Interest in seeing a larger and more complete array of his works.

This shook the so much it management waited years before it took the risk of Elektra. Danlc, Dark Caverns But no one has been shocked by these Strauss operas for a long time now. Freudian psychology has advanced. People understand people are deeper and their hidden caverns of mind are darker and danker than most people even suspected back then when "Salome and Elektra were new. The question in 1961 Is whether people can be casual while witnessing an ex posure of those caverns on the operatic stage, and of course one should be casual about any operatic plot Youll be able to tell by whether ' or not "Elektra stays in the repertoire for longer than this season.
