Story and Photos by

Barbara Elden '66

A most exciting and diversified show of the works of Sigmund Abeles is currently open in the Jewett Mu­ seum. Within a wide range of media, from drawings through the graphic arts, to sculpture Mr. Abeles com­ pletes each work with the same sen­ sitivity of observation and execution. People are his subjects-the young­ est people, the oldest people, active people and relaxed people. Mr. Abe­ les, Wellesley' s resident artist, scruti­ nizes each of them with sensitive but all-seeing eye and records his obser­ vations i!l. the simplest of terms. Body Relaxed The body relaxed is a favorite sub­ ject, one which the artist has depict­ ed in all the media of his vocabulary. In each case, Mr. Abele<: h<> <: ., .. n . ceeded admirably in capturing the kinetic energies still alive m toe lan­ guid body. The pencil drawing "Ex­ In none of hla works la Mr. Abeles economy of means more evident than hausted," although the figure itself is in this marvelous bronze relief of "Three Stages of Torment." In a very settled into a limpid state the lines illusive, allusionistic way three forms emerge from the background yet from which it is created are alive. the statement is more convincing and prhaps even more articulate than immediate and spontaneous. With one it would have been if he had used far greater detail. sure line he creates a leg no less arti­ culate and weighty than the far more specific arms. . His series of nine prone, sleepmg and relaxed, subjects are among the most exciting and unusu~ pieces of the entire show.

The "Expectarit Model" appears to have just taken a breath through her partly opened mouth and seems per­ fectly capabl'e of taking another one. fa the two thin sleepers Mr. Abeles completely succeeded in capturing the feeling of flesh stretched taunt over the protruding bones. These scul­ ¢rres, and all the rest in th~ show, are executed with a spontaneity and immediacy of technique which makes them easily accessible to the viewers. The drawings and prints taken as a whole show that Mr. Abeles has a tremendous control over the line whirh he uses and th!JI: the line is as varied and the subject matters it depicts. From the simple drawing "JO.S" in which the entire figure is conceived with the simplest of lines to the dramatic intaglio "Ru."llli.ng Woman" with its bold play of lights and darks from which the figure emerges, he employs an ever-<:hang­ ing line.

Commenting on the show, M.r. Abe­ les said "One irony of my attitude toward art is that I want to make big, monumental statements but I am an intimist." The irony certai!l.ly has not damaged his product. His messages are big and they are felt as being big, perhaps because the works which express them are so intimate that one . is forced to feel them very personally.
