The art Of the National Capital, as
expressed by the work Of the sculptor
is by no means local and Il can be
safely stated Jhat the city has wisely
secured examples OF thu work Of the
leading sculptors OF the country. The
influence Of such wisdom has resulted
In the elevation Of the standards OF this
branch of the fine arts by the exclusion
Of mediocre specimens.
Among the sculptors Of this city
whose work has become prominent, and
whose reputation Is Of a national rather
than a local character. should be men
toned Louis Amateis. who for many
years has been "a resident Of this city,
and whose studio is located at l7l7
Nineteenth street. Mr. Amatels is a ma

tuniues for his art than in the home
Of his nativity
Architect as Well as Sculptor.
His education had. however. been

fiuence. he has worked faithfully and
cheerfully. and equipped with robust
health and more than the ordinary al
lotment of perseverance and capacity
for hard work he has succeeded in get

rihce Of his faith IN the land Of his
adoption OF an abandonment Of the
ideals of his art
In his student days he had wisely
been a close student OF architecture as
well as Of sculpture. Some 'sculptors
are obliged 10 adopt their art 10 the plan
Of some architect. and thus subordinate
their ideas 10 the domination of other
minds. The work Of Amateis stands as
his individual conception, and while
working alone in the development of
some favorite Ideas. he has the salts
faction Of knowing. that If successful.
the entire work stands as his own
