Visitors are cordially invited to obtain in- SALES formation from the attendant at the desk in the West Gallery. The Image of Man in Contemporary Art E\'er\ period has produced its own image of man. Man has had many different conceptions of himself throughout the ages, and one of the surest indications we have of this is the actual pictured image which the artist has left of man. This is not just a question of style (though there are styles in human bodies and in indi\idual faces, just as there arc in the garments that clothe bodies and the hats that surmount faces), but it is a funda- mental problem. Man"s image of himself ine\ itably reflects his whole conception of the universe which surrounds and sustains him, and no less surely shows the relationship of one individual to another. There have been a few periods which produced images of man so powerful that we have never been able to forget them, e\en long after the conditions which made su(h images possible have \anished. The question "What is man?" has bothered us for a long, long time, and probably it will ne\er be answered. But the question "What does man think he is, what does he think about himself?" ran be analyzed, and is constantlv being approached from man\ different angles: sociological, : 10 scientific, psychological, statistical, humanistic. Here is a field in which the artist has produced a body of significant material which is positive and definable. Certainh our knowledge of what man thinks himself to be, of the role which he assumes in his total scheme of things, is implicit in the image of himself which he lca\es behind him. In his excellent book The Principles of Art, the English philosopher R. G. Collingwood defined this side of the role of art as follows It [art] must be prophetic. The artist must prophesy not in the sense that he foretells things to come, but in the sense that he tells his audience, at risk of their displeasure, the secrets of their own hearts. His business as an artist is to speak out, to make a clean breast. But what he has to utter is not, as the individualistic theory of art would have us think, his own secrets. As spokesman of his community, the secrets he must utter are theirs. The reason why they need him is that no community altogether knows its own heart; and by failing in this knowledge a community deceives itself on the one subject concerning which ignorance means death. For the evils which come from that ignorance the poet as prophet suggests no remedy, because he has already given one. The remedy is the poem itself. Art is the community's medicine for the worst disease of mind, the corruption of consciousness. More recently, Walter Abell in his remarkable book The Collective Dream in Art has treated art as the collective unconscious of mankind, and has based a whole psycho-historical theory of culture on the relations which have been disclosed in this way between the arts, psychology, and the social sciences. Once the culture and the spiritual climate within which a distinctive image of man was formed have changed, it is impossible for an artist to handle the style which evolved to express such an image without reflecting these changes. Even when a determined eflfort is made to continue or to recapture or even to copy an outworn image, an exhausted tradition, the changed conditions prevailing at the time of the creation of the new work inevitably make themselves felt.

    The Making of DaviD Mccosh early Paintings, Drawings, and Prints Policeman, n.d. Charcoal and graphite on paper, 11 x 8 ½ inches David John McCosh Memorial Collection The Prodigal Son, 1927 Oil on canvas, 36 1/2 x 40 3/4 inches Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Museum purchase. 28.1 8 The makIng of davId mcCosh danielle m. knapp In 1977, David and Anne McCosh participated in an oral history interview conducted by family friend Phil Gilmore.1 During the course of the interview the couple reminisced about the earliest years of their careers and the circumstances that had brought them to Eugene, Oregon, in 1934. As the three discussed the challenges of assessing one’s own oeuvre, Anne emphatically declared that “a real retrospective will show the first things you ever exhibited.” In David’s case, these “first things” were oil paintings, watercolors, and lithographs created during his student years at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) and as a young struggling artist in the Midwest and New York and at several artist colonies and residencies. This exhibition, The Making of David McCosh: Early Paintings, Drawings, and Prints, highlights those years of his life with dual purpose: to thoughtfully examine his body of work from the 1920s and early ’30s and to provide those familiar with his celebrated later work a more complete understanding of the entire arc of this extraordinary artist’s career. McCosh’s output has always defied traditional categorization within art historical styles. During his life he found strict allegiance to stylistic perimeters to be, at best, distracting and, at worse, repressive, though his own work certainly reflected elements of the artistic communities through which he moved.

Colby College Art Museum April 4 — May 10 Bowdoin College Museum of Art May 21 — June 28 Carnegie Gallery, University of Maine, Orono July 8 — August 30 The opening at Colby College to be on the occasion of the first Arts Festival of the Maine Federation of Women's Clubs. 1970 is the Sesquicentennial year of the State of Maine. In observance of this, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, the Carnegie Gallery of the University of Maine at Orono and the Colby College Art Museum are presenting the exhibition. Landscape in Maine, 1820-1970. It was during the first few years of Maine's statehood that American artists turned for the first time to landscape painting. Prior to that time, the primary form of painting in this country had been portraiture. When landscape appeared at all in a painting it was as the background of a portrait, or very occasionally, as the subject of an overmantel painting.
