Inside all was elegance and quiet good taste. Furnishings and art objects of museum qualty filled every room, together with delicious food, beautifully gowned women and interesting men. Finally, the artist himself, cigarette constantly in hand, darted from group to group, greet- ing this one, meeting that one, pausing briefly before moving on. The home was that of Sandra Zahn Oreck, Noel Rockmore's agent, owner of the art gallery that bears her name, and herself a talented artist, sculptress and printmaker. At one point in the evening, some ofthe models featured in Rockmore's paintings joined the group dressed in the garb in which they had been painted, so that they seemed to step out of the paint- ing to join the guests. The' following evening, the exhibit of Rockmore's paintings opened at the San- dra Zahn Oreck Gallery in the French Quarter. The show was entitled "Recent Rockmores," and featured works of the artist not previously exhibited. Noel Rockmore is probably a genius. If not, the difference is so slight as to be purely academic. Born in New York, Rock- more was precocious as a' child, and, like many artists, proved to be multi-talented. He studied at a very early age at Julliard, learning to play the violin, 'piano and guitar. At the age of eight, he began to paint, and his major talent began to unfold. Fre- quent trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and later studies at Cooper Union fos- tered a talent that showed promise of becoming major in the art world. Rock- more was encouraged by many in the arts during the later 40s and 50s, among them Joseph Hirshhorn, who purchased Rock- more's paintings that now hang in+the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. In 1959 Rockmore moved to New Orle- ans at the urging of a friend, who arranged a studio for him, and from that time began the beginning of an associa- ,' • .1_~ __ ._~'--.. • , 'fj't'O'Vecrto[)ernuJtl~taJen~~.

In 1959 Rockmore moved to New Orle- ans at the urging of a friend, who arranged a studio for him, and from that time began the beginning of an associa- tion that can best be described as practi- cally a love affair. After several moves, including one return to New York, Rockmore' once against settled in New Orleans, where he is presently restoring a house to serve as his residence. The sheer volumn of Noel Rockmore's work inspires envy. in most artists. More than 6000 works are scattered around the world, and include almost every medium, from oils, watercolors, tempera, to his present interest, egg tempera. The list of museums and collections that include Rockmore's work is extensive, and in addi- tion to the Hirshhorn Museum, includes the New Orleans Museum of Art, the col- lections of Huntington Hartford, Vincent Price, Newton Minnow and many others. Exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, all of New York, attest to the acclaim this artist has received.

The, range of Rockmore's work is astounding, slipping easily from dreamy watercolors to whimisical humor such as "Self Portrait with Blinking Eye and Two Ritas," an unusual effect that shows the artist's eye opened and closed at different angles. But the most arresting of the works presently being displayed are the egg temperas, such as the stunning "Lot and His Daughers" and "Mime Trio." . New Orleans has indeed found her mime and her minstrel, one who thunders and shouts to the world of his love of and fascination with this beautiful old cityby the Mississippi River. Editor's note: This past week, VOICE art critic Ed Martinez found himself in New Orleans on personal business, and filed his weekly art review column from that. city.
