Harken to what Harrison Fisher, IRWIN "hes
Edwin Blashtield and Victor u. brehher say
This galaxy of illustrator painter mural ueco

7beauty no more than her mother from Whom the
-lor ~ buovant youth has flown; whose flesh
has lost the satin gloss of girlhood days; whose

Victor D. Bremen, sculptor, VINO KNOWS the
soft and pleasing lines of figure as well as ne
knows the face, is TO the fore as the most out
enoken and uncompromising indorser OF this new
yiewpoint in art "All women are to be ad-
m,red" he put 1t generally, and declares that
femininity in every condition OF serVltude ana
age has points for artistic admiration.
The poetic has its place in Sculptor Branners
reasoning as much as the hard and fast rules
for physcal perfection. He personlhes the ume
worn adage: Beauty is only skin deep be
neath the flesh beneath the walls OF muscle ana
the frame of bone goes sculptor Bremen for MS
ideals Mentality morality and warmth OF heart
are all his prescribed ingrediences Tor the mos'
beautiful woman.
BEAUTY all depends upon the viewpoint Of the
individual SCULPTOR" declares Mr. Bremen. He
is influenced by the nature of his subject, by the
task he has before him. If beauty OF chllahoou
is his theme, then his whole heart and soui are
wrapped in the infinite lines Of tenderness ana
delight to be found in early youth
''If the sculptor seeks the poetry OF spring
time he perchance acquisitions beauty OF an age
from eighteen to twenty. He none the less appre-
ciates this bloom of early life and II cant hep
but draw forth his admiration.
From twenty-five to thirty might CLASSIFY as
another type Of beauty; beauty that is begin
ming to bloom in all its radiance, fully developed
