Controversial
Picture of Nixon
Cut From Exhibit
SAN FRANCISCO, Ufc—A cari
cature of Vice President Nixon
has been removed from the San
Francisco Art Festival on grounds
that it is controversial. Harold
Zeller bach, president of the City
Art Commission, said in a state
ment Friday he had ordered re
moval of the color lithograph
from the exhibit after receiving
numerous complaints from pri
vate. citizens.
The lithograph depicts a like
ness of Nixon wearing an eye
mask. In one hand was a bucket
labled “smear” and a paint brush
daubed in red. In the other hand
was a pumpkin, apparently a
reference to the “pumpkin pa
pers” of the Alger Hiss case—
which Nixon, as a U.S. senator,
investigated.
The lithograph was titled “Dick
McSmear.” It was priced at $25.
Zellerbach said:
“While I defend the right of
artists to uninhibited self expres
sion, the proper form hardly ap
pears to be a municipally-spon
sored art festival.
“Elected public officials of
whatever party should not be the
| subject of a caricature displayed
j at an art exhibit financed by all
[ the people.”
Festival Director Felix Rosen
thal didn’t agree.
“I, myself, would not have tak
en it down,” he said. “The way I
feel is that the artist derives his
inspiration from the world he
lives in—whether it is a land
scape or a still life or political
strife.
“Some of the greatest works of
art known to mankind have, at
the time they were made, been
provoked by very bitter political
struggles.”
The artist, Victor Arnautoff, ex
pressed surprise. Arnautoff, an
assistant professor of art at Stan
ford University, said the work
was not a caricature but a “poli
tical comment on McCarthyism.”
