April 29. lm ‘llncertainties’ in American Society May Deter 05. Cultural leadership By LINDA SECKELSON Millard Sheets, noted painter and educator on the West Coast, lectured last Monday eve- hing on “American Painting and Culture in 1966." Sheets feels that American art has evolved into a new phase since 1925, a phase of searching, charac« terized by a liner sense of aes‘ thetic organization. He noted that the arts today are at a peak with regard to public re— sponse, due to the continuously evolving Search for new means of expression. Sheets’ primary concern was with art in a social context: the social "function” of art and the role of American culture in the world. He said that arts supply the connective tissue oi existence, and serve to bridge the dlcllolumy be. tween the realms of the human- ities and the sClences by creat< ilig new means iui communica- lieu, But despite the public suc- cess of American an, Sheets feels that the present cultural situation is a precarious one. Are we, in 1966, at the hegili< mng or the end of a peak in cultural excellence? The con- flicting ditterences in values, feelings, alld beliefs, the com- plex of uncertainties which characterize American society are, Sheets teels, a potential de- terrent to American cultural leadership in the world. "Our society is sick with on» bearable pressure” . . . which affects our cultural stature di- rectly and indirectly through in eitecc on the quality of politi- cal leadership, education, and the creative arts. Political leadership today suffers from lack of cultural understanding, from mediocrity of mind and ability. Education suffers in that its objective seems to be conformity. And formal educa- tion in the creative arts lacks enough emphasis on a complete knowledge of form and stnlcture in the legacy of Western and noanestern art. Sheets feels that the United States' is or: “Cultural trlal" with regard to the rest of the world, that there must be a re- vitalization of the democratic system, and the establishment of a deeper understanding of ulhel’ peoples. But of priinaiy importance is the necessity of recapturing spiritual balance in order for America to emerge as a cultural leader. Sheets made nu mention of “American painting in 1956” as he indicated he would in his title. His concern about the “sickness" or Amrican society and its effect on culture was sincere and valid. But his cliche-ridden handling of the role of the artist in relation to all of the above points made one think that he grabbed the wrong speech belore jumping on the plane in Grinnell.
