Because of this, more and more men and women, with capital to invest and estates to manage, are turning to the Living Trust. WHAT IT IS The Living Trust is a Trust which you establish to go into effect during your lifetime, as part of your overall estate plan, and for the purpose of receiving professional management for a specified portion of your property. It can be arranged for the benefit of yourself, members of your family, or other individuals or charities —and can be large or small. We will be glad to meet with you and your attorney, in strict con- fidence, to discuss a Living Trust as it fits in with your situation. For an appointment, at your convenience, please write or call the Personal Trust Department of the National Shawmut Bank, Boston, Massachusetts. No obligation, of course. Send for the Shawmut Bank's informative new booklet, "The Living Trust". It tells the whole story. Yours without charge. The National Shawmut Bank of Boston Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation [830] SYMPHONIANA 'If This Be Long Hair' Exhibition Skalkottas THE TROUSSEAU HOUSE OF BOSTON "IF THIS BE LONG HAIR" Under the above title an editorial in the Dedham Transcript, February 10, 1956, commends the understanding and farsightedness of a Boston firm which has erected an "outdoor advertising spectacular dedicated to the Boston Symphony Orchestra." The Boston En- velope Company displays as a "salute" a full-sized billboard at the intersec- tion of Brookline Avenue and the Riverway depicting the Orchestra, man for man, according to the best skill of the sign painter's art. The editorial predicts that the bill- board "will probably cause some motor- ists to lose control of their cars, because of the unique nature of the subject." "Good music is enjoyed by many Americans, it attracts a substantial, but not overwhelming, audience in our times. Good music is not the service- able, commercial noise spun usually by the breed known as disc jockeys. Neither is good music constantly as- sailing our violated ears via radio or television stations. "Therefore, any agency which helps promote or sustain what avenues of good music remain in our high-pressured modern times, is deserving of the com- mendation of the vanishing Americans who still cling desperately to a few cul- tural standards. "It is essential that the maturity of breath of spring . zephyr life, as exemplified in one sense by the light nylon tricot gown symohony orchestra, must be recognized and lent an occasional ear amidst the de- flocked with frosty white plorable amount of din-music being ped- blossoms edged with pink dled daily over the air, and store counters. or green . the gown Most firms who employ the high-priced trimmed with nylon val art of the outdoor billboard use the repetitious phrase and the over-charged lace.

  • RICHARD FILIPOWSKI (Canadian, 1923-2008) Three Waves, Ca
    ! ! RICHARD FILIPOWSKI (Canadian, 1923-2008) Three Waves, ca. 1960-65 Phosphor bronze and silver 51" H x 28" W x 5" D ! Richard Filipowski Canadian, 1923-2008 Richard Filipowski (1923-2008, Canada) was a United States-based artist who worked across multiple media in the New Bauhaus style. Filipowski, a teacher by vocation, held positions at the Institute of Design in Chicago and The Harvard School of Design; he also served as professor emeritus at MIT. Many of his teaching roles were contemporaneous with those of Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius and Laslo Moholy-Nagy. Filipowski's close working relationship with these men, and with Moholy-Nagy in particular, places him at the center of modernist art and design circles in America, and among the foremost Bauhaus artists active in the mid twentieth century. Filipowski was born in Poland in 1923 and immigrated to Canada in 1927. His family described him as an avid draughtsman in his youth. In 1938, Filipowski’s discovery of a MoMA exhibition catalog of Bauhaus artwork inspired him to pursue a formal education in the arts. Consequently, Filipowski wrote Moholy-Nagy, a founding member and teacher at the New Bauhaus, appealing to him for his mentorship. Moholy-Nagy was so impressed by Filipowski that he invited him to join his program. Filipowski's relationship with Moholy-Nagy evolved over time from student to collaborator and peer. Moholy-Nagy instructed Filipowski across multiple media, including painting and metalwork in the Bauhaus style. As a testament to his admiration of Filipowski's body of work, Moholy-Nagy featured several of Filipowski's works in his seminal text Vision in Motion (1947), and Filipowski was the only student Moholy-Nagy called upon to join the New Bauhaus faculty.

This is thc first fiiU-scalc exhibition of the work of a major contemporary American artist to be held in the seventy-year history of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. It has been made possible mainly through in- come from the recent bequest of Mr. and Mrs. George Otis Hamlin. ^ Many people have helped in a number ofimportant ways to make this exhibition possible. Thanks are due the Boris Mirski Gallery of Boston, and particularly Mr. Alan Fink of that Gallery, for generous assistance; and the Grace Borgcnicht Gallery of New York, where Mr. Richard Sisson's tireless cooperation was so indispensable that I am not sure what I would have done without it. I am indebted to Mr. William S. Lieberman, Curator of Prints and Drawings of The Museum of Modern Art, both for his many helpful suggestions and for making available to me material that I would not have been able to see otherwise. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Harold Hugo of The Meriden Gravure Company for the benefit of his invaluable counsel during the preparation of this catalogue for the press. For his sympathetic in- terest and encouragement during the long and often trying preparations for this exhibition, I should like to thank Professor Philip C. Beam, Director of this Mu- seum. Carl N.

Arthur Polonsky: Mythical Flight Arthur polonsky Mythical flight A Boston Expressionist with a wholly unique worldview, Arthur Polonsky (b. 1925) has spent the past seven decades exploring man’s place in an unknowable universe. Like his thought-provoking artwork, Arthur Polonsky is disquietingly enigmatic. His subjects are recognizable, yet he professes there’s no inherent narrative. His vision is wholly personal, yet the imagery has an inclusive universality. And though he is inspired by poetry, mythology, and symbolism, Polonsky paints with an unbridled immediacy, “with the associations coming later,” he insists. “I’m interested in unreasonable attitudes to art,” he says by way of explanation. But how glorious those contradictions can be. For seven decades, Arthur Polonsky has astounded with his virtuosity as a draughtsman and mystified with his metaphysical worldview. He came of age in the turbulent 1940s, attending the School of the Museum of Fine Arts with the likes of Karl Zerbe, Hyman Bloom, David Aronson, and Jack Levine. Later known as the Boston Expressionists, the group was defiantly representational at a time when abstraction was considered the only path to modernity.
