Sculpture of the Exposition Palaces and Courts: Descriptive Notes on the Art of the Statuary at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco
James, Juliet Helena Lumbard
Panama-Pacific International Exposition (1915 : San Francisco, Calif.); Sculpture
Wind and Spray. Anna Coleman Ladd
A ring of figures - male and female - fleeting and gay - like the wind
and the spray.
Diana. Haig Patigian
The goddess of the hunt appears with her bow; the arrow has just left
the string.
Peace. Sherry Fry
Quiet, serene, she stands, her brow bedecked with olive leaves; her
serpent bordered robe may betoken the wisdom of peace.
The Kirkpatrick Fountain (extreme left). Gail Sherman Corbett
Erected to Dr. Wm. Kirkpatrick, superintendent of Ononda Salt Springs
from 1805 to 1806 and from 1810 to 1831, at Syracuse, New York.
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.
