To Filmgoers: The increasing
number of “no show” ticket holders
has caused inconvenience to many
other filmgoers who must wait in
long standby lines. In an effort to
improve the system by which we
distribute film tickets, the following
policies have been instituted:
• On the day of the screening,
afternoon film tickets may be
obtained from 11:00 to 2:30;
evening film tickets may be
obtained only from 2:00 to 6:00.
• Standby tickets will be eliminated
and replaced by a first-come, firstserved standby line in the Titus 1
Gallery.
Please note that these changes in
policy do not effect the advance
ticket privilege available to
Family/Dual, Participating, and
Contributing members of the
Museum. These advanced tickets
are distributed at the Lobby
Information Desk for a 50« service
charge.

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.

■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.

Exhibitions
Selections from the Circulating Video
Library. Video Gallery, ground floor. 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.

“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).

Alvar Aalto: Furniture and Glass. The
International Council Galleries, ground
floor. 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. This program will explore the
relationship that videotapes have to ritual

Fox, Barbara Hammann, Joan Jonas,
Paul Ryan, and Jill Scott. September 27

Changes in Summer Gallery Talks
Necessitated by Influx of Museum
Visitors. 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.
Through October.
