KEyPORT ARTIST is
IN FAMOUS STUDIO

George Leber, a promising young
artist, of Keyport, the son Of Axel
G. Lober, who for some years has
been connected with the New Jersey
Terra Gotta Company, of this city,
as credit man in its New York Office,
has accepted a position in the New
York studio of Gutzon Burglum, the
famous sculptor.
The Keyport Weekly publishes
the following:
Studying Under Famous Sculptor.
George Lober, Keyport's young
and promising artist, has been ac-
cepted in the New York studio of
Mr.. Gutzon Burglum. the famous
sculptor. The young man, who is
not yet twenty years Of age, has al
ready attained a good name for his
fine work in clay and plaster, as
we'll as his paintings in oil and wa
ter colors. His large painting,
Coast Of Norway" exhibited at the
recent Monmouth County Fair at
Red Bank, attracted much attention
by its splendid color effect and fine
detail.
The heroic statue of Miss Keyport,
made by the 1909 Carnival, Is well
remembered by everybody. His two
reliefs of Lincoln and Washington
adorn the assembly room at our high
school. His bust relief of Hudson
and Fulton were made for the Hud-
son-FuIton celebration last year.
Mr.. Lober has already removed
to New York to assume his new du-
ties and to attend evening class at
the National Academy, where he
again this year has been successful
In obtaining a free scholarship. He
will be in Keyport once q week to
attend to his several violin pupils.
Considering his youth, Mr.. Lo-
ber's advance IN his chosen profess
sion has been remarkable. To be
accepted in the studio of an artist
as famous as. Mr.. Burglum is no
near honor and we join his many
friends in extending e~ongratula-
lions.
