February 7,1974 PHOENIX Page 9C* ___ rr^ n ^ kjc t i i c i y %u00b1 a i KRug Showat SlopeGalleryBY EILEEN PLATZin an interesting deviation from The Brownstone Gallery%u2019s regular exhibitions of traditional medium art w o rk -o il and acrylic paintings, watercolors, pastels, pen & inks and the like%u2014 the Gallery has installed a show of contemporary Iranian rugs which will remain on view and be available for purchase for the next few weeks.Resplendent in strong, primary colors, the rugs are executed in the Kelim tradition, a flat weave with no pile. Each is unique and handwoven and seem very appropriate as tapestries as they grace the Brownstone Gallery%u2019s walls. Some of the rugs bear Indianlike motifs with interlocking configurations, stylized and recurrent. Others are dominated by geometric forms, free floating in a field of color. All feature several concentric rectangular borders in varying patterns. Maroons and blues are favored in the compositions but disarming crops of orange and green recur in many of the fields. Rectangular in shape with fringe at two sides, most of the rugs are approximately 5%u2019 by 10%u2019.Also on hand at TheClergyto AttendLuncheonThe Park Slope Clergy Association and the Department of Pastoral Care at Methodist Hospital are planning an informal luncheon conference Feb. 14 that will acquaint clergymen with psychiatric facilities and resources available within the community.The program will introduce the participants to the institutions and facilities to which they may guide those in need of professional psychological or psychiatric services, said the announcement from the Park Slope hospital.

Reproduction posters of such masters as Braque, Picasso and Klimt are also handsomely exhibited. Many are available both framed and unframed or mounted with acetate covering. The directness and forthrightness of the poster collection combined with the brilliance of the Iranian rug designs gives the Gallery immediate visual impact %u2014 it's well worth a visit.The Brownstone Gallery is located at 76 Seventh Avenue in Park Slope.P a in tin gExhibitThe Kings Gallery, located in the Consolidated Edison Building, 30 Flatbush Ave., will feature paintings of Phyllis Kaplan thru Feb. 22.

It includes 11 painters and 2 sculptors and since most of the work is large, 9 of the artists are represented by only one painting.Most of the work on display reflects contemporary influences.A silvery abstract by Barbara Schaefer is resolved quite well with lots of activity under the final color layer. The \H%u201d piece by Mary Fife Laning is an impressive idea, its imagery not easily forgotten. Helene Taterka%u2019s inventions from melted down everyday plastic objects become very satisfying small translucent sculptures. The other artists are Margo Mead, Howard Gilman, Michael Cotter, Ruth Gray, Jonathan Prall, E. Walen Young, Hyson Sam Shim, Alex McFarlen, and Bruce Rosen. It is interesting to note that the portrait by Ruth Gray is that of her ,17-year-old daughter. It is a beautiful compliment.Gallery hours are Tues. - Thurs. 12 to 3 P.M.; weekends, 12 to 5 P.M.
