CALLED A GENIUS.
Paul Adolphe Darde, Young French
Artist.

Paris. July l5.--Paul Adolphe Darde,
awarded the enyied Paris Salon ma
tonal prize for his marbles ''faun" and
eternal suffering" is greeted by
critics as a genius, in the real sense of
that abused word.
Darde, in the simple telling of his
career, stands out among artists. He is
not trained in the academic way. He
was shepherd in the region of Lo-
deve, in the wine country OF southern
France Son of small farmer, he
watched flock or worked the ground
until he was 90 He fought in the war
and to-day, famous. he is only 81.
The big, powerful, blond bearded
he was eight but felt his own way un-
til he took drawing course in the Lo-
deye high school and later studied Mt
Montpelier, getting as he says, guild
anee in his first steps. Through the
counsel of his two art teachers he
came to Paris He spent five weeks here
in the government art institute and
worked three days in Robins studio.
With that slim grip of the classic
school and the modernity Of Rodin,
Darde began the working in marble
and metal that made experience his
teacher
81 have no preference in schools"
Darde says. II love all that is beauti-
full in art as in life" He has been lik-
ened most closely to Rodin. but he ad-
mires first of all the work of Jean
Goujon and secondly that of Barge and
Rodin OF modern art.
The 'faun" is massive, vigorous
conception, sneering, cynical and sen.
sual. Eternal suffering" represents
woman's head. snake-e -entwined, with
a face, uptrned, in anguish and al
most distorted as if with physical
pain.
Darde works directly in marble
wax or plaster model.
