There will be no admis- sion. The paintings, products of the vibrant Safad art colony, near Tel Aviv, represent the mood of the new Israeli art, which in the past 30 years has moved towards a modernism _in- fluenced by Europe and Amer- ica. - In the 1930's young rebels of Palestinian art turned from the classical school of Bezalel and, exploiting the stimuli of.a new nation, a new culture, a new way of thinking, and the emo- tional catharsis of war and sur- vival, began to produce an art distinctive for its liberalism, inventiveness and color deploy- ment, Few emerging nations have a cuted people from Europe, came legions of talented artists to boost native art colonies. Mordechai Avniel, with his light, fresh swirl of colors, came from White Russia; Stephan Alexander, a brilliant worker in gouache, emigrated from Czechoslovakia; Hannah Rubin- stien-Lerner, specialist in mur- als, came from Saratov, Rus- sia; Ozer Shabbath was one of the engineers of the art revolu- tion when he arrived from Poland to teach abstract art in Haifa. A.refreshing aspect of the exhibit, however, is the very liberalism which frees it from the all-too-familiar 'Social Real- ism," and state propaganda that goes, almost unerringly with new nationhood. .. It is no "Exodus" in oils. Oshawa residents visiting the two-week long display will see instead a wide variety of mod- ern art. Most: interesting collection is by Zvi Raphaely, a Talmudic scholar and teacher, whose amazingly prolific work has made him one of the wonders/set of Israeli art.. His quick brush{ "Street in Safad," show a re- lationship with the impression- ism of France, and the designs of Japan. 34 ARTISTS Raphaely and the other art- ists exhibited observed, like Cezanne, that no two colors maintain the same position in space. Some recede, some ad- vance. Therefore, the elements of the landscape are broken by the artist into simplified areas of planned color. They achieve an emphasis on the vibration between colors rather than on the local tones of -natural objects. The seemingly erratic use of color in their painting serve a bold, strategic purpose. The colors attract the eye to dif- ferent parts of the picture and the particular pattern of the painting develops as the eye moves from point to point. Color in this exhibit sets the mood. Predominantly, they are dark, brooding olive greens, and light, dusty browns. Throughout a somberness mixes with a lively confusion of color a contrast fitting for a land t-is both the site of an sunset. The warming trend in the weather did not cut down calls on local towing companies. Don Down stated that his five-man crew worked practically non- stop for 72 hours. He said that Saturday's ex- treme cold froze up many cars. Sunday drivers also called the towing firms when they found that their autos would not start. The snowy weather also brought many calls from _ stranded motorists. J.W. Doswell Is Speaker James W.

At a recent meeting, the 1964 city council voted to demolish the house. On the plea of the Historical Society, however, for an opportunity to formulate plans for restoring the house and to raise the funds necessary for this purpose, the 1965 coun- cil decided to allow a respite of two months before going ahead with demolition plans. In the meantime, the Historical So- iciety will endeavor to enlist \public support behind. the proj-| building.
