The exhibition, documenting a widespread and powerful new direction in contemporary art, brings together more than 120 paintings and constructions by 99 artists from some 15 countries. William C. Seits, director of the exhibition, points out that these works exist less a8 objects to be examined than as generators of perceptual responses in the eye and mind of the viewer. Using only lines, bands and patterns, flat areas of color, white, gray or black or cleanly cut wood, glass, metal and plastic, perceptual artists establish a new relationship between the observer and a work of art. These new kinds of subjective experiences, which result from the simultaneous contrast of colors, after-images, illusions and other optical devices, are entirely real to the eye even though they do not exist physically in the work itself. Each observer sees and responds ••©•whit differently. Larry Peons is an American who was born in Tokyo in 1957 and now lives in New York City. He is represented in the exhibition by a large 6* x 9 ' V painting of 196^ entitled ITixe's Hate. Tadasky (Tadasuke Kuwayama) has an oil painting A*1Q1 (1964) in the exhibition.
