Film Information ■ Six Portuguese Classics: 1933-1974 The Portuguese cinema is just beginning to be discovered. These six films, significant to the history of the cinema of Portugal, are a good introduction to a country whose filmmakers have for too long been neglected. The exhibition was organized by Richard Peña of the Film Center of the School of the Art Institute in Chicago in collaboration with the Portuguese Film Institute, the Cinemateca Portuguesa, and the Embassy of Portugal in Washington. The program features The Song o f Lisbon, the first sound film totally produced in Portugal, as well as Brandos Costumes, the work commonly held to have inaugurated the new Portuguese cinema and an innovative film that was presented in 1976 in the Museum’s N e w D ir e c t o r s / N ew F il m s . “Lacking a solid economic base,” Peña observes, “the Portuguese cinema has been a cinema of ‘auteurs’—of strong individuals who devoted their lives to continuing film production despite the often impossible conditions of work. Certainly no one fits this model more perfectly than Manoel de Oliveira.” (Oliveira has not been included in this series since a retrospective of his films will be shown at the Museum in November.) “Other highlights of this selection,” Peña continues, “include The May Revolution, a superbly crafted, unabashed ode to Salazar’s ‘Estado Novo’ regime that nevertheless makes excellent use of Soviet montage techniques, and Paulo Rocha’s The Green Years, an atmospheric tale of two young lovers in Lisbon reminiscent of the early films of the ‘Nouvelle Vague.’ Mountain Wolves is a good example of the work of Brum do Canto, an exemplary craftsman and one of the Portuguese cinema’s most prolific and consistently popular directors.” Fernando Lopes’s film A Bee in the Rain has been praised for its creative rendering of the poetic universe of the Portuguese writer Carlos de Oliveira. All films with English subtitles. September 14-20 ■j"British Advertising Broadcast Awards, 1984. Many of the bestmade and wittiest advertising films and videotapes are being made in Britain. Also, a number of featurelength directors working in both the United Kingdom and the United States began by making commercials in Britain, and several continue to do so. Since 1976 the British Advertising Broadcasting Awards Limited (BABA), an organization comprised of industry profes sionals, annually has selected the finest advertising films in various categories, and the Department of Film is pleased to be able to present a 35mm program of the 1984 award winners. For making this exhibi tion possible we are grateful to Tony Solomon and Peter Bigg, BABA’s chairman and admini strator respectively, and Barry Day of McCann-Erickson Worldwide in New York. To accommodate those in the advertising community we have arranged for this 45-minute exhibition to be screened at special times: TUesday, September II at LOOp.mThursday, September 13 at noon, 1:30, 3:00, 4:30, 6:00, 7:00. • Selections from the Circulating Film Library. The titles selected for the September program reflect the broad diversity of film genres, styles, and periods that make up the Circulating Film Library. The pioneer American director Edwin S. Porter, who worked for Thomas Edison, is represented by several titles, including Train Wreckers (1905) and The ‘Teddy’ Bears (1907). Historic animation from Europe is represented by Hans Richter, Viking Eggeling, Oskar Fischinger, and Lotte Reiniger. Contemporary American anima tion, which reveals highly individual approaches to the medium, includes work by Robert Breer, John Whitney, George Griffin, David Ehrlich, Mary Beams, Jane Aaron, and Faith Hubley. Among the British independents in the program is the sensitively made feminist film Angel in the House (1979), written and directed by Jane Jackson. The avant-garde films in the program span a fiftyyear period from Charles Sheelers and Paul Strand’s Manhatta (1921) to David Rimmer’s Real Italian Pizza (1971). Classic American documentaries of the 1940s to be presented are Valley Town (1940) by Willard Van Dyke and Native Land( \942) by Leo Hurwitz and Paul Strand. The extensive Canadian collection in the Circulating Film Library includes the documentary Bethune (1964) by John Kemeny and Donald Brittain and the animated films Very Nice, Very Nice (1961) by Arthur Lipsett and Blinkety Blank (1955) by Norman McLaren. And Irish cinema is represented by Bob Quinn’s Poitin (Poteen) (1978), a drama that is in the Gaelic language (with English subtitles). Special: A Tribute to Blanche Sweet. The Department of Film will pay tribute to Blanche Sweet in celebration of the 75th anniversary of her debut in films. Miss Sweet was one of D. W. Griffith’s earliest stars, and she went on to become one of the most popular actresses of the 1920s. Among her major roles were Judith o f Bethulia, Anna Christie, and Tess o f the d'Urbervilles. She will introduce the 6 o’clock screening of the The Sport ing Venus. September 24 at 6:00. Schedule subject to change without notice. For precise information, call 708-9490 on day of showing. The Museum’s film program is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Blanche Sweet.

This selection highlights recent additions to the Circulating Video Library and includes works by Ed Bowes, Collis Davis, Antonio Viuntadas. Julie Gustafson and John Reilly. September 6 through 18. Irving Penn. The International Council Galleries, groundfloor. This first retrospective study of the artist’s work in over twenty years will present approximately 200 color and black-andwhite photographs selected from a body of work that spans the past four decades. The exhibition will examine Penn’s work in portraiture, fashion, advertising, the nude, ethnographic subjects, and still life, and will also include a selection of Penn’s early, unpublished photographs. For more than a generation Irving Penn has been recognized as one of the world’s most distinguished and influential practitioners of editorial, advertising, and fashion photography. His work has been admired for its formal invention, technical elegance, breadth of reach, and for the confidence with which it has combined great boldness with artistic poise. In both his personal and commercial work—his photographs have appeared in Vogue magazine since 1943—Penn has maintained a rigorously demanding standard of style and craft. By the 1970s Penn’s interest shifted from the printed page as end product to the expressive possibilities of the photographic print. Through long, meticulous experiment he perfected a command of platinum printing to bring an even greater richness and clarity to his increasingly personal work. The exhibition is directed by John New Publication Irving Penn John Szarkowski Irving Penn is the most distinguished practitioner of editorial, advertising, and fashion photography of the last four decades. His work has been admired for its great refinement of craft, for the wit and grace of its formal invention, and for its unequalled sensitivity to the quality and character of light. Backed by the lavish suppport of Vogue magazine, Penn brought a classic economy and concentration to the overblown world of fashion photography, to portraits of artists, writers, and theater people, and to ethnographic studies of style and ornament in little-known corners of West Africa, Nepal, Peru, and New Guinea. John Szarkowski’s essay follows Penn’s career from its art school beginnings to the provocative work of recent years, the cigarettes and still lifes of street d e tritu sphotographs of eloquence and classical rectitude made from the least consequential of subject matter. This book is the first comprehensive retrospective of Penn’s work. n H O H H a m Szarkowski, Director of the Department of Photography. September 13 through November 27. “PRIMITIVISM” IN 20TH CENTURY ART: Affinity of the Tribal and the Mod ern. The René d ’Harnoncourt Galleries, lower level; East Wing, 3rdfloor; lobby annex. This exhibition will underline the many parallelisms that exist between mod ern art and the arts of tribal cultures, in addition to being the first to juxtapose tri bal and modern objects in the light of informed art history. Primitivist works by modern artists, beginning with Gauguin, Picasso, Brancusi, Klee, and extending to those of contemporary artists, will be exhibited along with tribal works to illus trate both broad affinities and direct influences. Some 150 modern works dating from the turn of the century to the present will be shown. The tribal works—over 200 chosen from museums and collections worldwide—will include masks and figure sculptures from the personal collections of Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Derain, Nolde, Ernst, Matta, and other modernists. The exhibition will be divided into four parts: “Concepts” establishes the different characteristics of the modernist response to tribal sculpture, and visually probes the problems raised by the intersection of the two arts; “History” sketches the direct influence of various tribal arts on different modern painters and sculptors, sometimes juxtaposing a modern work with the very tribal object that influenced it; “Affinities” explores certain common denominators of modern and tribal art independently of the problem of influences; “Contemporary Explorations,” the final part, contains endeavors such as hybrid objects, environ ments, para-theater, and video. These relate less directly to tribal objects than to ideas about tribal life and religious practice. The exhibition is directed by William Rubin, Director of the Department of 1014 x 12"; 216 pp.; 156 plates (21 in color) and 35 reference ills. (7 in color).

This exhibition will cover the Fin nish architect/designer’s industrial design work in depth and will be the first exhibi tion to present the full range of Aalto’s furniture—from his short-lived experi ments with tubular steel in the 1920s and subsequent ground-breaking explora tions of bentwood techniques through his mature furniture pieces of the 1950s. The glass exhibited will include examples of Aalto’s famous 1937 free-form vases and bowls, the shapes of which were a radical departure from the streamlined styles pre valent at the time. Also shown will be ear lier and less well-known mass-produced glass dinner and kitchen wares he designed with his wife, Aino. Included will be approximately 35 examples of furniture, some 35 pieces of glass, and a number of furniture parts and sculptural reliefs. There will also be more than 40 sketches and finished drawings for the above work, as well as photographic panels showing the furniture as it origi nally appeared in a variety of interior set tings and international expositions. A short film focusing on the manufacture of Aalto furniture in Finland will also be shown in the gallery. The exhibition is directed by J. Stewart Johnson, Curator of Design, Department of Architecture and Design. September 27 through November 27. Video and Ritual. Video Gallery, ground floor.

Because of the great number of visitors to the newly reopened Museum this past summer, many of the gallery talk topics had to be changed. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused. Continuing Exhibitions Color Photographs: Recent Acquisitions Edward Steichen Photography Center, 2ndfloor. Only in the last fifteen or twenty years have the materials of color pho tography offered the inviting combination of reasonable cost, technical ease, and aes thetic beauty. Since the mid-1970s this opportunity has attracted the best energies of many younger photographers of widely varied training and inclination. Their accomplishments already suggest that the new technical opportunity has created one of the most provocative and rewarding challenges of contemporary photography. This unprecedented development in color photography has all the unpredicta bility and excitement of unfinished busi ness. There are no venerable masters, no authoritative styles, no exhausted possi bilities. The Museum’s active program for collecting contemporary photographs has responded to this new work, a sample of which is presented in the exhibition. It is not a systematic survey but an interim report on the variety and liveliness of the new color photography, drawn from acquisitions of the past five years. A few established figures are represented, among them Jan Groover, William Eggleston, and Lucas Samaras. But the great majority of pictures are by younger photographers, such as John Harding, Lorie Novak, and David Graham, many of whom have done virtually ail of their serious work in color.
