Bearing this truth in mind and being aware that all things are rel­ ative, I would like to introduce you to Onnow. Onnow is a unique commune and religion capable of harmoni­ ously blending the idealistic and realistic levels of living as well as the spiritualistic and materialistic levels. This world endeavor has been real i zed by a minority group (of course) on the West Coast for over two years and is being actualized this month in Berkeley, California. We have 22 affiliates surrounding that area already. We will soon be ready to expand even further. Those of you who can help us grow are the people seriously concerned with attaining the higher, finer degrees of absolute living-people who are enlightened (or would like to be) and aware of their personal improvement and the general betterment of all.

This column has been killed by kindness. When I began it last fall I expected to be counter-attacked by hippies for being unhip, by writers for sloppy writing, by the Old Left and Old Right for being anarchistic and by the New Left for being academic, by my academic colleagues for being unacademic, by Christians for being anti-Christian, by capitalists for being anti- Capitalist, and by friends for being unfriendly* True, I have received some anonymous hate-mail, but it has been too comical or pathetic to challenge my thinking. And the kind remarks have not challenged it either. A few people have politely disagreed with this or that, but no one has levelled the serious criticism against these columns that they deserve. They deserve criticism because they level serious, though inad­ equate, criticism of the Underground, the Christian Church, the Vietnam War and international power politics, American racism, the idiocy of the Milwaukee political, artistic and educational establishment, ritual murders of King and Kennedy, militarism and totalitarianism, the Old Left aspects of the New. What Is To Be Done? I have also criticized my own columns, realizing how vulnerable Milwaukee to sense that the near-revolution in France and the they have been from many points of view.

Am I the only person in tainly not the multitudes of unhip hippies, activists who don't act, writers who don't write, poets who don't speak, professors who profess nothing but their own profession, students who hate studying disorganized organizers of the unorganized, fully dressed nudists, THE LAST OF THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL RANGERS... and unchristian Christians. Understand the Crisis bob watt The Kaleidoscope staff and friends who have overcome incredible financial, legal and political obstacles understand the current crisis. Their personal struggle to speak freely and live honestly unites them with Blacks in revolt against the ghetto and Czechs in revolt against Old Guard Communism, backed by Russian tanks. Judge Seraphim's counterpart can be found in Paris, sentencing leaders of the Sor- bonne uprising, or in Moscow, sending rebel poets to prison. Serious readers of Kaleidoscope know that fundamental issues of human dignity, freedom of the press and of revolutionary conscious­ ness are at stake here in Milwaukee — both on the East Side and in the ghetto, not to mention Whitefish Bay. And yet somehow these universal issues are not discussed explicitly and openly, and it often seems that asking the questions is fruitless — both at UWM and Barney's.

by Rich Mangelsdorff ZAPPA

Frank Zappa has been called a genius and this is probably true, at least if scope of knowledge, use of materials and conception are the criterion you're using. You could tell, even off of the Freak Out Ip that this cat had eaten and digested all the rock sides ever made. He threatens to do the same for all world music. Impossible? Not if your ear TRIP and head are good enough and working together. When it comes to working with extended forms and with non- rock materials, Zappa can't be beat. This is the only cat I'd trust to write that "rock opera" that someone is threatening to put together every month. Not a cavalier like Bernstein, not The Beatles (rich man's optimism and too much cuteness, at least if the wish-fulfillment Magical Mystery Tour is any indication). Zappa's conception is fed by the aforementioned musical know­ ledge and also by an excellent satiristic bent. He has the satir­ ists ear for the telling cliche (most importantly, the ones which others haven't even isolated yet—Who Needs the Peace Corps from Were Only in it for the Money is only the latest illustration) and his knack for getting dialects and mannerisms down ought to Here's where Zappa's ability to hear all sorts of music serves have impressed you enough to need little further comment (LA him; but, most important, he picked up on the expanded con­ talk and oafs being two of his favorite targets). sciousness thought patterns and the multi-level lyrics being explored Zappa has mastered all of the possibilities of rock as it is known most notably by Bob Dylan. and played today, having thereby eminently earned the right to What results is a new musical unit which could most conven­ do what he is continually trying to do—EXTEND the language of iently be referred to as a trip.

PEARSON RAPS ANIMAL FARM

by Harry Titus The ability to arouse passions has long been a factor that distinguishes exciting, innovative creators from their pedestrian fellows. When­ ever a controversy engulfs an artist, it is a good idea to examine his works closely, for controversy generally is the partner of a direc­ tion that is uninhibited and inventive. Mil­ waukee has known few artists who could raise emotions to a fighting level; we simply are too uptight to respond to art directly, with­ out fear of being strange. In the midst of this uncongenial situation, Dennis Pearson has created an art that exposes passion. Pearson's latest exploits revolve around his painting "Turkey Flag," the grand prize winner at the Lakefront Art Fair. Both the Milwau­ kee Journal and Art Center director Tracy Atkinson received letters condemning the de­ cision of the judges. Pearson was hassled at the fair by people who felt that his work was a defamation of the American Flag, and some even suggested that he and the judges should be jailed. Despite these opinions, "Turkey Flag" won the prize for being a new design for an Ameri­ can flag. Pearson denies that it is any more, "I wasn't doing it as a protest against the war or anything like that, but everyone tries to read something in." He emphasizes that many artists have used flags as subjects, "Dozens of artists in New York have worked with flags done different designs for a flag. This was only a new design for a flag. There are t»«r- keys instead of stars in the flag. Benjamin Franklin wanted the National bird to be the turkey, so I thought it was a good design for a flag. I also did one with elephants instead of stars. There are hundreds of possibilities." After attending Layton School of Art in Milwaukee and schools in other states, in­ cluding the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Pearson settled in New York from 1964 to 1967. He returned to Milwaukee because it is cheaper to live here, and he had devel­ oped a good following in the Midwest. He supports himself solely through sales of his work. Although he has been relatively successful in the Midwest, Pearson realizes that the area does not generally support artists. "It seems to be getting better, but Milwaukee is definitely a few years behind the East and West coasts. Most of the best artists, at least the younger ones, move out .of the state and head for the East or West Coast every year. The important galleries are there, also the most important collectors and museums. People come from all over the world to buy in New York, and it's also the money capitol of the world." The animals that populate Pearson's later paintings and drawings developed out of many drawings of animals, both real and make be- lieve. The shapes of the animals were ori­ ginally inspired by his experiments in abstract art. "I was doing quite realistic things, more academic things, landscapes, still life, human figure paintings. Then I started to do some very abstract things, along when abstract ex­ pressionism was really big. I did a lot of color lithographs and works with just shapes. I saw animal forms in the shapes just like you might look at a cloud and see an animal form, or a sidewalk with cracks, or a street with a funny shape that might suggest an animal. This is how it all started. Then I began to make legs and work on developing the heads. Out of these abstract shapes came make-believe animals." The distribution of shapes over an area and the relation of shapes to each other are impor­ tant to Pearson. He usually works on his ideas for paintings by making a number of prelimin­ ary sketches. What may seem very informal and spontaneous to the casual viewer is in re­ ality the result of careful planning. He is remarkably consistent his animals usually march uphill, and from right to left. Pearson says that he has no idea why this happens. The animals sometimes march over hills, often go straight across an area in layers, or maybe it will rain animals. Some people read specific animals into the shapes. Pearson claims that he has no certain & animals in mind, but that only the shapes them­ selves are really important. However, he k Con't on pg. 19 PAGE 26 August 9 - 22, 1968 KALEIDOSCOPE!
