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
The Sower. Albin Polasek
Along the field he goes, scattering his seed.
Centaur. Olga Popoff Muller
This bestial creature is in the act of abducting a beautiful woman. She
has almost swooned from fright.
The Boy with the Fish. Bela Pratt
They are singing for joy - the fish seeming to be most comfortably at
home. Even the little turtle is happy. The little toes must not be
overlooked.
Returning from the Hunt. John J. Boyle
The Indian is advancing under the weight of a huge bear across his
shoulders, and the huge skin of a companion bear being dragged at has
side.
L'Amour (Love). Evelyn Beatrice Longman
A group of tender, loving trustfulness. In the background are seen angel
heads, denoting the spiritual side of love. The serpent below suggests
the great wisdom born of love. It overcomes all death (the skull). The
oak leaves symbolize eternal love.
Garden Figure. Edith Woodman Burroughs
Is this little Adam with the apple, or only a little boy with a ball?
Youth. Victor H. Salvatore
A little maid in sweet simplicity - against the shrubbery.
Soldier of Marathon. Paul Noquet
Recalling one of the Niobids of the Uffizi Gallery, Florence. The last
dying agony of a Greek soldier. His shield stands at the left.
Primitive Man. Olga Popoff Muller
He hauls the quarry home. Would the nose of primitive man be so lacking
in primitiveness?
The Scalp. Edward Berge
The Indian stands exultant! His hands alone betray what has happened.
The rest of the work is most carefully treated to cover the barbarous
side of the subject.
Apollo Hunting. Haig Patigian
"I shot an arrow into the air." This muscular figure recalls the work on
Machinery Palace done by the same sculptor.
A Faun's Toilet. Attilio Piccirilli
An awkward, somewhat bashful, wholly boyish faun - his costume an ivy
crown.
Duck Baby. Edith Barretto Parsons
A gleeful little soul with chubby toes - more gleeful than the quacking
ducks she squeezes.
A Maiden of the Roman Campagna. Albin Polasek
Like an antique bronze from Pompeii. The anemones in her braided hair
are surely some of those that grow so plentifully on the great Campagna
beyond Rome.
Head of Lincoln. Adolph Alexander Weinman
He might have looked like this at the time of his Gettysburg speech.
Daughter of Pan. R. Hinton Perry
A girlish satyr most intent upon the echoes that she makes when blowing
through her double pipes.
Mother of the Dead. C. S. Pietro
The old mother though grief-stricken, accepts the inevitable, while her
motherless grandson, not understanding, feels that something is wrong.
Destiny. C. Percival Deitsch
Does Destiny decree that man shall lead, while woman meekly follows, as
she did in ancient Egyptian days?
