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
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.
Boyhood. Charles Cary Rumsey
The youth who is just beginning to gather his sheaves, looks up and sees
the stars! A new treatment in sculpture.
The Pioneer Mother. Charles Grafly
A simple, dignified woman dressed in home-spun. At her knees a boy and a
girl - the future builders of the Western country. She has crossed the
cactus-covered plains, has endured the greatest hardships, that she may
rear her sturdy little ones to lay the foundations of a mighty Western
empire. The bulls' heads are symbolic of sacrifice; oak leaves symbolize
strength. She is best seen in the afternoon.
Thomas Jefferson. Karl Bitter
The seated president, with a world of thought upon his face, has on his
lap the Declaration of Independence.
Lincoln. Daniel Chester French
The rugged man of magnificent understanding, whose every thought was for
the betterment of the race.
Relief from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Richard H. Recchia
Illustrating Sculpture.
The Commodore Barry Monument. John J. Boyle.
A naval hero who died 1803. Fought in the American Revolution. Victory
rides at the prow with laurels for him. The "eagle" shows for whom he
fought.
Relief from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Richard H. Recchia
This panel represents Architecture.
Earl Dodge Memorial. Daniel Chester French
Earl Dodge, scholar and athlete, was a greatly beloved Princeton student
- a senior who died just as his college gown was about to be placed upon
his shoulders.
The Young Franklin. Robert Tait McKenzie
With all his earthly possessions wrapped in a bandana, with upward gaze
and confident gait, Benjamin Franklin goes to seek his fortune.
Lafayette. Paul Wayland Bartlett
The young Lafayette who helped the United States in the Revolutionary
War and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis.
Relief. Bela L. Pratt
Representing Sculpture.
Relief from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts
Representing Sculpture. A relief of simple sweeping lines of great
beauty.
The Awakening. Lindsay Morris Sterling
The day has dawned and with it life awakens.
Beyond. Chester Beach
A girlish figure wonders what is coming with the future years. Best seen
from across the road.
William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)
An American poet of the first rank. He sits thoughtfully - his
manuscript before him. Laurels grace his pedestal.
