THE BARYE MONUMENT.

The New York Times is authority for
the report that some SIG, 900 has now been
collected in France for the erection of a
monument to the sculptor, Antoine Barge.
In this country the Barge Monument As
ISOLATION has in hand over $4,000, making
in all $4,000 raised for the purpose. The
American committee has notified the
French committee of its readiness to for
ward the sum it has raised, SO that it is
now reasonable to look forward to the
speedy erection of the monument It will
!! be an act Of justice. The fact that $1,000
has been raised here for the purpose of
erecting shaft in honor of great artist
who belonged to a foreign country, speaks
well for the growth of art tastes in Amer
lea and the appreciation with which the
work of such masters as Barge meets in
the United States.
For Barge does not appeal to American
spirit by reason of the relationship of
tongue or by close bonds of blood. His
memory does not address any sentiment
except that underlying love of art for arts
sake. As the Times well says, it is easy
to understand how such memories as men
have of Goethe, Schiller, Milton, Shakes
peare and Mozart would awaken responses
in all the civilized world to an appeal
for monumental funds. The contribution
to the Barye fund sprang from the admit
ration Americans who have seen Barye's
handiwork have for the mastery genius of
the modest French artist, who was content
to labor and live humbly and devote his
life to his art for the worlds good. He
belonged to the art world and gave to it
the best in animal sculpture that the
world has had. az
Barye was born in Paris in 1895 and
died in that city in 1875. He early be-
came famous as a sculptor of animal fig
ures, and his bronze groups Of animals in
rest and in action have not been surpassed.
While his designs in natural history won
for him his greatest fame, yet be produced
sculpture of the best order of the human
figure also, and his ''Gaston de Folk"
Napoleon" "Charles VI ,"e.Tte Amazon"
The Three Graces" and the statue of his
daughter angelica" are known to all
lovers of art. What however gave him
greatest distinction was his marvellous
capacity to model the anatomical and
physiological in animals with such accu-
racy and wonderful spirit His heroic
works of animals in contention were nota-
bly, his best. and copies and thought from
them have been introduced into great
deal of monumental work in many nations.
France showered all the honors she could
upon him, and in England and America
all leading art associations have paid pro-
found tribute to his great genius.
