When some one told US that east of
Fifth Avenue in Fourteenth Street
lived young Italian sculptor whose
work was worthy Of investigation, we
Immediately set about gratifying the
curiosity aroused by the information.
1t was an agreeable surprise to dis
cover on the top floor Of an unromantic
building corner Of Bohemia, the b.
hernia of Henri Murger and Gavarni,
which has little in common with it's
hybrid imitation further south and fur
Their west
Judging by the number of pieces in
all stages of development, to say moth
ing of large collection of sketches,
Ruotolo is so driven with the divine
urge of creative energy that he has no
time to spare for mere externals.
When we arrived he was giving a
lesson to a little waif-a favorite pas

Cling with a sketch of domestic life
across the top of which Ruotolo had
written II figli sono Americani" ("The
children are Americans"), certainly
properly patriotic sentiment to be i'm
pressed upon children born in this
country of Italian parents.
However, although he does not call
his studio Morris" and point the way
by lurid sign in mismated colors, al
though he does not address visitors by
their front names, although his work
shop has nothing of the atmosphere of
cheap familiarity so often found in the
haunts of mediocrity and seekers after
"self-expression," Ruotolo is a radical
A few minutes conversation disclosed
the fact that he has the youthful in
tolerance which condemns a rich man
as q bad lot merely because he has
money. Asked by some grateful en-
ployes to make bust of their en-
ployer, Ruotolo accepted the work
without JOY, until gradually he was
won over by the personality of his
sitter.
The Commercializing of Art in America
The average exhibition has no
charms for him. He considers it
merely one way of attracting attention,
the business end Of his work. He be-
lieves that art by its indirect influence
has done more reform work than de-
liberate propaganda, because the ar
fist simply portrays without admonish-
ing. and if he has power his message
will inspire a desire to right the
wrong
Looking around the studio we saw a
