The Bison (2). A. Phimister Proctor
The last of a
vanishing race — fine, powerful figures.
Henry Ward Beecher Memorial. J. Q. A. Ward
A noted American
clergyman, lecturer, reformer, author, journalist;
lived between
1813 and 1887; a man of forceful personality and fine
intellect; he
looks the very man of opinions who would not hesitate
to
give them to you
— and you would be prone to accept them.
William H. Taft. Robert Ingersoll Aitken
One of America’s
greatest statesmen.
Halsey S. Ives. Victor S. Holm
Was director of
the Fine Arts Palace, Pan-American Exposition.
Seated Lincoln. Augustus Saint-Gaudens
The firm man of
thought and action; a replica of the Seated Lincoln
of
Lincoln Park,
Chicago.
Piping Pan. Louis Saint-Gaudens
He stands, utterly
thoughtless, with his double pipes — passing
the
hours in amusement;
we see him at a musical moment.
Flying Cupid. Janet Scudder
With the rhyton,
the Greek drinking-horn in his hand, Cupid stands above
the globe, his
little toes holding on firmly so that he will not slip.
A Muse Finding the Head of Orpheus. Edward Berge
The mourning muse
has just chanced upon the severed head of Orpheus
which had been
cast into the stream by the Thracian maidens; short
pieces of marble
are left to support parts easily broken.
Michael Angelo. Robert Ingersoll Aitken
We seem to hear
him say “And now where next to place the chisel?”
He is
creating “Day,”
which is seen in the Medici Chapel, Church of San
Lorenzo, Florence,
Italy.
Nymph. Isidore Konti
A poetic conception
of the origin of the stream, from which the fawn
drinks.
Young Pan. Janet Scudder
A favorite subject.
Pan is piping his woodland notes and marching to his
own music.
Such expressive little hands are those that hold the
pipes!
The crab comes
up to listen and is held — spellbound.
Wildflower. Edward Berge
Everybody’s
love! A real darling! A little flower of
the fields.
Mother and Child. Furio Piccirilli
A typical mother-expression
as she croons over her baby — such a dear
one!
Eurydice. Furio Piccirilli
Orpheus has just
looked back-Eurydice, realizing that he is forever
lost
to her, looks
mournfully after him. Great longing fills her
soul.
Boy and Frog. Edward Berge
An independent
young chap stands among the rushes — and how
expressive
are those toes!
The frog, as the fountain, spouts water.
The Dancing Nymph. Olin Warner
Her pine-cone
wand thrown down, her pan-pipes cast aside, the
ivory-crowned
nymph indulges in the dance.
The Outcast. Attilio Piccirilli
A powerful nude;
his very toes portray his grief; surely suggested by
Rodin’s
work.
