ORS? OFAMERICAS: GREAT
‘CANAL? CELEBRATION
World Noted Sculptors Produce
Marvels In the Plastic Art
Superb Decorative Statuary Fast Assuming
Form at the Panama-Pacific in-
ternational Exposition
RODIGIOUS works of sculpture are now being completed in the sculp-
tural warehouses of. the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
Many of them have already long been finished. The works are re-
markable for their imagery and vigor and for the beauty of their con-
eeption.
Not for many years will the world be enabled to enjoy so mar-elous a col-
lection of the works of contemporary sculptors. The World's Columbian Ex-
position at Chicago first proved that the greatest talent might be employed to
produce even work of temporary value. Since then more and more attention
has been given at each succeeding exposition to sculpture as a form of decora-
tion, and now the Panama-Pacific International Exposition promises to surpass
even Chicago’s exquisite display.
' Viewing the superb groups and individual pieces of statuary, the visitor
. feels like a Lilliputian who has been transported into a land of giants. Some
of the great groups are of colossal dimensions. Many of these great pieces of
statuary will adorn huge triumphal arches and when so placed will seem of
natural size to the visitor who stands upon the floors of the exposition courts.
We present upon this page some classical examples of the sketch models
and the enlarged figures. A number of America’s foremost sculptors have
been engaged in the production of these figures. Among the sculptors are
many names widely known both in America and abroad. The list includes
A. Stirling Calder, acting director of sculpture; Albert J aegers, Furio Piccirrilli,
Leo Lentelli, Robert I. Aitkin, Adolph A. Weinman, Isadore Konti, Evelyn Bea-
trice Longman, Mrs, Harry Payne Whitney, Douglas Tilden, Gutzen Borglum,|
H. A. MacNeil, James KE. Fraser, Charles C. Rumsey, Haig Patigan, Paul Man-
ship, F. G. R. Roth, Charles Neihaus, D. C. French, Herbert Adams and others.
The sculpture of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition will carry
out the note of the exposition in celebrating the opening of the Panama canal.
The spirit of achievement as exemplified by America’s work at Panama will be
idealized.
When the sculptors began to plan their work they had as an inspiration an
undertaking which has appealed to the imagination of the world for centuries.
In the opening of the Panama canal they saw the final result of four centuries
of effort to secure a bassageway between the oceans. The statuary will repro-
duce upon a wonderful scale the historic incidents connected with the Panama
canal. Figures of the early explorers of the oceans, groups symbolizing the
effort to pierce the rocky backbone of the continents, compositions designed
to symbolize occidental and oriental themes, colossal representations of strug-
gle and achievement, will illustrate many of the dramatic topics inseparably
associated with the search for a passageway to the Pacific and with the final
In no other exposition has sculpture been employed to adorn the grounds
to the extent that it will be employed at the Panama-Pacific International Ex-
osition.
7 And while the sculptors are fast completing their splendid productions,
hi¢h reveal the ideals of sculptors of the present day, other work upon the
exposition is fast progressing. When the gates of this, America’s Panama
canal celebration, swing open to the world on Feb. 20, 1915. it will be upon a
ly completed and perfected spectacle, the setting of the greatest interna-
onal celebration that the world has ever beheld.

in gerrices. giving way at last to a group of figures supporting a globe,
ifying the world. The repeated figures of armored horsemen and of
ye of the ocean will be used on the tower, which, with its statu-
intings aics, will be indescribably beautiful.
