To what extent do geographical factors in the natural landscape alter excreative pression? John Marin, whose is p a i nting included in the Lure of The West" exhibition at die Salt Lake Art Cen- ter, declared a need for the p inter to escape from the tedium of urban life. It is essential, he said, for the artist to sense the dramatic impact of the ocean or the plains in order to restore jaded creative energy. The inference of the need of the landscape painter to true-u- p in scale was liberally expressed in his treatment of a milder East Coast locale, but curiously some of his drawings from the mountainous region of New Mexico and a painting in this exhibit reveal an unspirited recourr to more visual analysis in search of the index to scale. Assembled by Director The unusual exhibit, which includes works by Utah artists, was assembled by Director Joseph M. Stuart through a grant from the Utah State institute of Fine Arts and the Naional Endowment for the Humanities and Arts. show will continue I The through Nov. 29, and officially Opens Tuesday.

Wyeth Relative A portrait by Henriette Wyeth, sister of Andrew Wyeth and wife of New Mexico painter Peter Hurd, is included. A facile painting of cattle is from the brush of Peter Moran, brother of Thomas Moran. There is a small oil sketch by Albert Bierstadt in the Utah Symphony Orchestra.

He finds these two approaches to equally observing reality just. The portrait is of Ludovicus Nonnius, an elderly Antwerp doctor and scholar who, like Rubens, was a member of the city's intellectual elite. The painting is a masterpiece of Rubens late period. It was completed some time after 1627, when the sitter was in his late 70s.
