6 THE CORAL GABLES TIMES Thursday, September 21, 1961

TIMES By Robert S. Hurwitz

By Robert S. Hurwitz Beards, brushes and blue jeans. Not the name of a song, but instead, that which you will see if you visit Miami's Greenwich Village in Coconut Grove. Many of our artists have camped in the Grove simply because the Grove wants them and lets them know it. The scene was made more interesting last month, by the opening of the Robert von Zimmerman Gallery at 3004 Grand Avenue. It's a small gallery, large in quality, with mature paintings for the discriminate. Von Zimmerman runs a big scale in technique and subject. The vitality and projection of his figures register viewer impact at once. He has had the fortunate opportunity to train with and talk to the best of our masters. He has learned the lessons of the contemporary school, but has adjusted intellectually to his own methods and styles. Experiment with subject and material is in evidence and gives a good change of pace to his major works. The gallery is actually run by his bride, Arlene von Zimmerman. Here's a gal who believes in art, people, and her favorite artist's ability. So now, in one afternoon in the Grove, you can visit our "Coconut Village," and see Massin, Scornavacca, Varna, von Zimmerman, Draper (Mirrell) and the Grove House. Everyone wants a bargain but if you really have a "wholesale, undercost complex," do me, and the artists a favor, and shop at Shell's Super Market. The group of artists listed above, are most of our town's best, and they deserve the chance to create rather than argue price. This goes for some of the decorators who harrass the artists, fault their clients and generally create ill will by their untempered aloofness. This year, more than any other in local art history, people will have a big opportunity to look at, and buy good art at prices they can truly afford. My war against prints, copies and bare walls is on. The pleasure and the beauty of original paintings in a period of world ugliness, should be a good relief. Your interest in seeing all art at all galleries is needed and invited.

Art Discussion

The second Times and Guide Art Discussion group will meet at the Granville Gallery, 3929 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Coral Gables, on Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 8:30 p.m. Art Editor Robert S. Hurwitz conducts the group. He invites "anyone interested in frank, lively, no holds-barred participation."

'Nothing But Promises,' Le Jeuners Want Parking

A group of lower Le Jeune Road businessmen, led by Don Arden, a bar and grill operator, petitioned the City Commission Tuesday to provide them with off-street parking. Mayor Robert L. Searle told Arden that the Commission is working to obtain additional facilities for the 27 petitioners. "We've had a few failures already," Arden told the Commission. He blamed the Le Jeune Road widening project for the economic problems. "All we've gotten in the last six years is promies," Arden said. Parking on both sides of Le Jeune Road will be prohibited when the project is completed.

What Is Love?

"In Your Opinion, What Is Love?" is the discussion topic Sept. 28th for the Parents Without Partners South Dade unit.
