TO him than the men and women he has
known and modelled. He offers us counter

dog and he knew the man, and he loved them

the shy, primitive widness that dwells under

~ Current War Poetry -

His father, with his gray head barred to
Death,
Stand on his doorstep with his Countrys
flag
Waving defiance. Then his father fell
And the flag fell across his silent breast.
The house leaped into fame. His sister
rushed
Out of the door and raised the flag again.
She fell and over her the flag. He saw
A flash of fire from the doorway. There
HIS brother stood, firing as steadily
AS those who faced him. From behind him
His mother-and again the flag was
raised.
And madly in the dream he broke the
chains
That seemed to hold him and cried out in
sleep
A battle-cry that echoed through the
house.
Ills brother Weakened and called out to
him:
What is the matter with YOU &c to
sleep"
lie answered him, "II tell YOU in tho
morning."
And in the morning he left for the town.
With fire in his eyes, to volunteer.

urines, old and new, by Prince
Paul Troubetzkoy, that Arthur Symonss
dictum on Rodin might be applied with
equal truth to the younger man-'Other
sculptors turn life into sculpture he turns
sculpture into life"
So writes Antony Anderson, analyzing
the work Of Prince Paul Troubetzkoy as
can interpreter of life in the February
issue Of "The International Studio." Mr.
Anderson continues:
Zones quick impression, indeed as one
stared with delight at the statues on their
sprawling wooden pedestals, was that of a
lov{e in Lilliput-a fetc in Queen Titania's
domain, in which everybody was on parade, all
serenely joyous and elated.
For it is the JOY Of life that Troubetzkoy
celebrates, no matter if he is modelling the
portrait bust Of poet, the figure of a grand
lazy in~silk and chiffon, dancer, child at
play, horse in action. This fine exuberancc
is what he himself feels. and therefore he
knows and sees it in others. The pensive
mood? Yes. We have it, and it is we'll that
"e should have it again and again, and some
times Troubctzkoy interprets it. But it is

sion For life is the big positive thing in the
UNIVERSE and it may not be made manifest
by series Of negations.
Yes Troubetzkoy turns. sculpture into life

not more ardent than life should be for every
one of us. The sparkling eye The full breath.
the ihted head, the wide swing of legs that
have the godlike length of Apollo's and
Diana's-that is what life means, or at any
rate, TINS is what art means to our sculptor,
Who IS half American and half Russian and
was born in Italy. His American blood counts
Tor much that In temperament and spirit he
seems to belong wholly to the Far West,
where his sculptures have just been showing
at San Francisco and Los Angeles He found
MS cowboys in New York to be sure, but
how perfectly he realized them on their
heaven aspiring broncos.

that you search instinctively for the horns
and feel that they must be budding, if not
yet quite sprouted
"Presumably, the dancer is nearer to the
dryad than the rest of us are, and natures
immortality still broods over the child.
Therefore it is that Troubetzkoy models the
dancer and the child moro often and more
lovingly than he models any one else. What
srpplencss of limbs, what fine fervor of ac-
ton, in the one; what soft curves and subtle
ties of expression in the other. They are
litc long stemmed flowers, these with fra
grant petals blown by the wind those nest
ing quietly in the bud If dancers were like
that and children like that But they are
like that! cries Troubetzkoy in his big, jubi-
liant voice, and we believe him, for we are
convinced that he knows. And so we look at

IS If COATS are often rather summarly
IL dismissed by our sculptor, not so with
faces. With what loving care he follows the
curves of child's or a womans cheek, how
tenderly he places its bloom of innocence and
beauty. The very texture of smooth and
healthy skin is here. He gives to the faces
OF his men more rugged boldness of lines

II innate note Of reincment-the revealment
OF an inner sanctuary Of the soul that has
received no dcsccration from the stress Of
living. 1t is through the eyes that we dis
cover the secret shrine, for the eyes of
Troubctzkoy's sttcrs have a flashing intelli-
ycnce that is almost disconcerting. They are
like the eyes of no other sculptures that I
know of, seeming to be alive with vital
spark. Needless to say that they are not
modelled by a formula as were the eyes in
ancient sculptures.
Action, action action. and yet more action
this may mean little beyond restessness,
but in the strong and capable hands of a
man like Troubctzkoy it means life There
may be rcposc in action, and his statuettes
