)- l }- Hard-edge spot/ighted BY JAN JENNINGS TRIBUNE Art Writer The term "hard-edge" for paintings was coined in the late 1950s.

City energy study: lacing the challenge

The "hard-edge" move- ment began as a reaction against the amorph?us, sometimes explosive, sometimes slitheri~g_ly fluid forms which d1stm- guished abstract expres- sionism_ Hard-edge is attention to precisely defined edges of forms . There is emphasis on clear definition of areas and boundaries. Colors are generally flat and pure. . Toying with geome_tnc forms and the visual tncks they can play with the eye is often of prime concern. With these guidelines in mind _ and a whole lot of patience - an artist can create stunning works. Three examples of hard- eged paintings, in varying degrees of precision, are_ on view in one-person exh1b1- tions at the San Diego Mu- seum of Art Sales and Rent- al Focus Gallery, Knowles Art center in La Jolla and the Gallery, Founders Hall, Univr.rsiti' a! Sao Pif:li;o. Art Hopkins is featured at the San Diego Museum of Art in the Sales and Rental Gallery. Hopkins' brightly colored hard-edge paintings are playfully suggestive of the lightning dart of Superman. on a more serious note, they are precisely rendered geometric abstracts, mov- ingly designed. . . Particularly stunnmg 1s "Crag," combinin~ strong, angular images With float- ing, curvaceous forms. Col- ors are red, yellow, black and white flat and bold. The sm~llest piece in the exhibit is a little gem. It is "Quadrum," done in red, yellow and blue. Triangl~s overlap squares and 1t could be visa versa, de- pending upon how you read the depth. In other pieces, sinuous shapes decorate the can- vas, a relief from the hard geometric angles. several pieces hint of touching up on the edges to maintain purity, but the hint is so slight it does not detract from overall impact. •

MAYOR WILSON'S proposal for the establishment of a new energy task force may be the most significant new action ,an- nounced in his annual State of the City message this week. The need for such a local effort is clear. No crisis abroad or at home is more important or likely to be more lasting in its effects than the energy crisis. It creates an opportunity for meaningful local action and challenges us to grasp the opportunity. We hope the task force, which will be headed by Dr. Author Hughes, president of the !l.n.iYer- §J.!Y o{.San Diego, takes its man- date in the widest possible terms. The mayor said he would charge the task force to deter- mine the energy needs of metro- polit.an San Diego to the year 2000 (hence the name, Energy 2000 Task Force), and to recom- mend the necessary steps for meeting those needs. Conservation must be given just as much emphasis as pro- duction. The task force is sure to realize, early on, that a kilowatt saved is a kilowatt earned. And, whereas production of electricity runs into all kinds of roadblocks erected by federal and state poli- cies conservation often can be acc~mplished simply by local initiative.

The task force, in our view, will be most helpful if it em- phasizes the positive_. What c~n the citizens of San Diego and its suburbs do to ease the crunch? How can city government con- tribute to such citizen action? can the city do more itself, in planning and policy, to promote energy conservation in its new and old residential districts, commercial zones and industrial areas? How much will it cost? Are the citizens willing to bear the burden of cost and inconven- ience to free this country from its unhealthy dependence upon foreign oil? There may be no greater chal- lenge facing this generation than the simple task of making Amer- ica self-sufficient in energy. The task force could become merely a forum for complaint about policies made in Washing- ton and Sacramento. It could decide that little can be accom- plished on the local level in_ view of what it considers to be mistak- en policies at higher levels ~f government. But we are confi- dent that Dr. Hughes will not allow it to concentrate on hand- wringing. . What we need first is a realis- tic, eyes-wide-open, comprehen-_ sive view of the problem, and then an agenda for action on all feasible fronts. Let San Diego lead the way.
