Bronzes and old pewter were the in
teresttng topics of the Minot Art club
this week, Mrs. J. ]. Kann presenting
each subject in an attractive manner
Mrs.ka carefully told of the COM
position of each metal and gave q
careful description of the n in
which it is treated for decorative pur-
poses. ITALY is the home of the bronze
art said Mrs. kann. The Greeks of
classical times worked almost entirely
in bronze Bronze statues literally fii-
ed the cities of the Roman empire at
one time, but the value of the metal
and the ease with which il was broken
up and cast into coins has caused those
ancient works to disappear almost en-
tlrely. During the past century there
has been a eviV in bronze casting,
although there are now but two or
three foundries In this country. Mrs.
Kann stated that the most American
art today, ttheg work that not only has
achieved the greatest fesultS, but has
in 1t the most promise for the future
is in bronze. Mrs. Kann gave a Inc
MES, masterpiece. Another American
s~culpturer in bronze who is achieving
success is Mahonri Young, grandson Of
the noted Brigham Young. One of the
interesting points brought out in her
discussion of pewter was the use which
Americans made use of it during the
evolutionary a Hundreds of pounds
of 1t were melted for bullets. In
those days travelling .pewterers went
from house to house recasting pewter
vessels n thus a great deal of Yalu-
able pewter was destroyed. Mrs. Kann
displayed a number of examples Of
both bronze and pewter, some of them
ancient and very valuable. She recall
ed many interesting facts in connec-
ton with pewter which she herself
remembered as q little girl or which
her mother had told her.
