MONTREAL (CP)—-Montreal’s abstract artists are rallying against a museum director’s ac- cusation of artistic sin—of being merely fashionable and trite.

John Steeg-man, director of the big greys‘tone Museum of Fine Arts, gave Montreal’s younger abstract artists a tongue lashing alter the gallery showed, their works in a series of non-figura- tive enhiibitions. ‘

“They are now the fashion,” he said. “They are becoming the new banality.”

An abstract work without depth, ba‘ ance, rhythm and “some evidence” of intelligent composition might well be a de- sign for wallpaper or textile.

“Abstract pattern-making . . .” was the description.

“Just because it’s non-figura- tive doesn’t mean that it is a run or wallpaper,” countered Patrick Landsley, 32 - year - old Wimnpngborn artist who teaches at the museum’s own art schoo‘.

norms ARE BANAL ' . “Att'er all, who is it being fiashionable for? Those who ad- mire or buy fashionable art are just . their own banal- ity.” . . Mrs Landsley. a member of the Abstract Am’tists’ Association of Montreal, had two works in one of the museum's recent displays of non<realtstpaintings The asso- ciation, with about 35 members.

“In abstract work , design; and content—especi lily content— are just as evident as in objec- tive paintings. You must distin- guish sincerity from fashion.”

Another artist, a. mmnber of the association and a former art tealeher at the museum, also took up Mr. Steegman’s challenge. WONT RETRACE STEPS" _, “Just another ineffectual pro- test against the present dynamic direction of contemporary art,” replied Patterson Ewan, 33. “If critic-s like Mr. Steegman fail to order in our paintings and hope for a return to figurative painting they are indulging in widhiful thinking.” ‘ Mr. Steegman said abstract art started about 50 years ago as n

Mr. Currie’s immediate surviv- ors include his wife, the former Agnes Perrier; four children: Ralph, Kentville, N. 5.; Marie, Montreal; Marjorie, Dartmouth, and George, Ottawa; two sisters: Marie, Halifax, and Bea, Lynn, Mass; four brothers: Robert, Raymond, Wilfred and Thomas, all of Halifax, and six grand- children.

“But now that abstract pattern making has become fashionable all over the world, there is noth- ing to go on protesting against."

Not so, said Mr. Ewan, a na- tive Montrealer. “The modem abstract movement is in its most vigorous stage. Eventually it will cease to be effective and be re- placedvby the next stage. When this happens, however, there be no return to realism as art moves only forward." . '
