SUMMARY: An illustrated lecture on the art of Fernand Léger by James Johnson Sweeney held in conjunction with the exhibition, Léger. Sharing anecdotes and discussing the artist's life, influences, and work, Sweeney argues that Léger's unique use of bold color and form has its roots in not just contemporary abstract art, but in the traditional art of mosaics from his ancestral Norman heritage. Thus, Sweeney concludes that Léger should ultimately be viewed as a mural painter rather than an easel painter. Other artists referenced include Constantin Brancusi, Guillaume Apollinaire, Henri-Edmond Cross, Paul Signac, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Robert Delaunay, Albert Gleizes, Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, Roger de La Fresnaye, Amédée Ozenfant, and Le Corbusier.

George Hamilton then brought the interview tape to London and played it to Richard Hamilton and Charles Mitchell. They recorded their comments and in September 1959, Richard Hamilton played a selection of these remarks to Duchamp and recorded his reactions to them in a BBC studio interview. In this second interview, Duchamp speaks on his relationships to surrealism, cubism, futurism, eroticism, and the life span of a work of art. Apart from his readymades, artworks that Duchamp examines in-depth include: The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass), The Nude Descending a Staircase, L.H.O.O.Q., and Chocolate Grinder.

SERIES: The Visual Nature of the Film Medium
PARTICIPANTS: Introduction: Richard Griffith, Director, Film Library, MoMA; Speaker: Slavko Vorkapich, filmmaker and lecturer
DATA: 7" reel; TRT: 02:06:17
SUMMARY: "Introduction: The Eye has its Reasons," is the first of a ten part illustrated seminar lecture series by Slavko Vorkapich designed for professional and student filmmakers on the visual nature of the film medium. This first lecture is devoted to the laws of visual perception in film by explaining and demonstrating the principles of cancelled and induced motion and the phi phenomenon. Vorkapich discusses the phi phenomenon as it relates to the capturing of static shots, sudden movement, and aesthetic intentions. As the camera is not a one-to-one representation of reality, he also explains the rules for recording the clear representation of realistic scenes on film. Sergei Eisentein's Potemkin, Fernand Léger's Ballet Méchanique, and Fred Zinnemann's High Noon are referenced.

DATA: 7" reel; TRT: 2:04:52
SUMMARY: The first in the series "American Art Since World War II" is a panel discussion on the possibilities and responsibilities of art criticism as it has functioned in regard to art since World War II. Participants give short remarks and then debate the impact of modernist literature in defining the critics voice, the strategies of "formalist criticism" as opposed to "new criticism," the critics' role in assessing the quality of art, and the development of post-war criticism as it relates to historical traditions of criticism and the needs of the artist. In the second part of the program, Rubin moderates a question and answer session covering three themes: the influence of the reader, the credentials of the critic, and the role of the establishment in art criticism.

DATA: 7" reel; TRT: 1:12:04
SUMMARY: Harold Rosenberg describes modern art practices as having "no disciplines, only vestiges of disciplines." Compared to formal 19th-century painting, action painting is concerned with the moment of creation. Social engagement, valuing the individual artist, and the political implications of action painting led to the emergence of Allen Kaprow's happenings and the de-emphasization of the art object. Barnett "Barney" Newman asks a question in the question and answer portion of the program.

PARTICIPANTS: Introduction: Introduction: Barbara Jakobson, Junior Council member, MoMA; Wayne Anderson, art historian
DATA: 7" reel; TRT: 1:18:50
SUMMARY: Wayne Andersen traces the origins of constructivism and surrealism in the United States. Bauhaus artists who fled Nazi Germany and resettled in the United States taught at American insitutions, instilling constructivist ideals in their students. Meanwhile, he attributes Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism [MoMA Exh. #55, Dec. 9, 1936–Jan. 17, 1937] as the American publics' introduction to surrealism. Andersen introduces a generation of artists influenced by surrealism and constructivism, including: David Smith, Alexander Calder, Isamu Noguchi, Theodore Roszak, José de Rivera, Ibram Lassaw, Peter Grippe, Seymour Lipton, David Hare, and Richard Lippold. The opposing qualities of constructivism and surrealism, one subtractive and the other additive, offered these artists an unlimited possibility for experimentation. During 1949-1951, sculptors reduced their "surrealist emotional load" and embraced the formalism of constructivism. Andersen concludes by presenting a new generation of sculptors who have left behind the surrealist load: Louise Bourgeois, Louise Nevelson, Richard Stankiewicz, and John Chamberlain.

DATA: 7" reel; TRT: 1:37:07
SUMMARY: Lawrence Alloway describes stylistic categories of pop-art, including expressionism, escalation of collage, sign system painting, and Happenings. He identifies 15 Americans [MoMA Exh. #507, April 9–July 27, 1952] as an early exhibition introducing the public to the art of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauchanberg. After naming the first major exhibitions and publications featuring pop-art, he emphasizes the role of collectors and critics in shaping the narrative around pop-art. He describes pop-art as the newest form of non-pastoral art, drawing connections between the pro-urban, pro-technology attitude of abstract expression and the reference to industrialism and economic development in pop-art. Alloway illustrates the qualities of pop-art in the art of Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warol, Jim Dine, Robert Indiana, Roy Litchenstein. During the questions portion of the lecture, Lucy Lippard asks Alloway about the connection between abstraction and pop-art.

PARTICIPANTS: Interviewer: Renée Sabatello Neu, Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, MoMA; Tony Smith, artist
DATA: 7" reel; 3 3/4 ips; TRT 33:40
SUMMARY: During Tony Smith [C/E 68-9, 1968-1971], curator Renée Sabatello Neu and the artist discuss his work in relation to minimalism. Smith considers his process to be more spontaneous than the minimalists, who rely on intellectual and programmatic systems. He sees his sculptures as monuments that connect to the earth, a philosophy he equates to Michael Heizer's site specific land works that cannot be removed, transported, or commodified as art objects in the traditional sense. Neu observes that the physical appearance of Smith's sculptures depend on the viewer's vantage point, giving them an unpredictable quality. Like the works themselves, his titles are chance creations, sometimes drawn from Jame Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Smith also references modular architecture as an influence, understanding two-dimensional representation as a basis for three-dimensional structures.

SUMMARY: As an accompaniment to Wall Hangings [MoMA Exh. #882, February 25-May 4, 1969], Jack Lenor Larsen introduces the medium of wall hangings—characterized by their durability, relation to space, and refusal to serve a functional purpose. The artists represented in Wall Hangings are less concerned with methods of industrial production and instead utilize the conventional loom to explore color, form, transparency, and texture. With origins in the Bauhaus, the inventiveness and discipline of Anni Albers and Gunta Stӧlzl paved the way for a generation of textile artists in the United States, Scandinavia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Switzerland, Canada, and Columbia. A full list of artists can be found in the exhibition catalog.

SUMMARY: Under the moderation of Arthur Drexler, the Museum of Modern Art senior staff respond to thirteen demands raised by the Art Workers' Coalition (AWC) that address: the role of the Trustees; admission and hours; inclusive programs for an ethnically diverse audience; the Museum's involvement with real estate ventures; devoting a Museum wing to the accomplishments of Black and Puerto Rican artists; the political responsibility of Museum staff; and artists' rights in the sale, resale and rental of artworks. Raising concerns about the Museum's relationship to Black artists, Michele Wallace criticizes the installation of In Honor of Dr. Martin Luther KingI [MoMA Exh. #873a, October 31–November 3, 1968].

DATA: 7" reel; TRT: 3:36:32
SUMMARY: The Art Workers' Coalition (AWC), the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Executive Staff Committee and invited artists meet to discuss artist participation in Museum planning, admissions policies, community projects and more inclusive exhibition and collection programs. The AWC and MoMA Staff Executive Committee agree to form committees to include artists and AWC representatives in Museum policy making decisions. The eight nominations for the "Watchman Committee" consists of two artists: Dan Flavin and Roy Lichtenstein; two members of the AWC: Joan Snyder and Tom Lloyd; and two representatives from the Museum of Modern Art Staff: Arthur Drexler and John Szarkowski. Drexler rejected Tom Lloyd's proposal to form a Black and Puerto Rican Wing and agreed to two proposals that came to fruition. The first was instituting a free admission day. Beginning February 9th, 1970, MoMA instituted a free afternoon and evening once a week. The second was Irving Petlin's suggestion to form a committee to issue and widely distribute a poster in protest of the Mỹ Lai massacre in Vietnam. This collaboration between members of the AWC and MoMA's Executive Staff Committee was then realized a month later—Q. And babies? A. And babies was printed and ready for distribution on December 18, 1969 when William S. Paley, President of the Board, withdrew the Museum's support for the project.

Koch, Congressman, New York's 17th congressional district
DATA: 7" reel; TRT: 1:47:56
SUMMARY: John Hightower moderates a panel discussion with city officials, artists, and heads of arts foundations to discuss arts funding in New York City. In addition to the panel participants, members of the audience contribute to the discussion and ask questions. Raphael Montañez Ortiz speaks to the exploitation of Puerto Rican artists, demanding that the city invest in Puerto Rican artists and their communities. Ortiz's speech provokes a debate between Tom Lloyd and Joan Davidson about the representation of Black and Puerto Rican artists in City Walls, a project providing artists resources to paint murals in public spaces. This leads to questions of outreach, artist involvement in government agencies and foundations, and the political responsibility of artists. Hightower broadens the conversation to ask if the most desirable form of subsidy for the artist is money, housing or grants and fellowships. Edward I. Koch and Richard Weinstein weigh in on the question of censorship of funding coming from political and bureaucratic entities. An unnamed audience member recalls the recent events surrounding the release of "Q. And babies? A. And babies," a poster created as a collaboration between the Arts Workers' Coalition (AWC) and MoMA in response to the Mỹ Lai Massacre in Vietnam. Under pressure from the Board of Trustees, specifically Nelson Rockefeller and William S. Paley, MoMA withdrew their support for the project. In the second half of the program, members of the audience express their difficulty navigating bureaucratic systems to receive arts funding, asking if there should be more robust support systems to ultimately invest in the creative potential of society.
