When the critics proclaim Darde as
"a second Rodin" they have definite
thought in mind. Auguste Rodin
(lS40-191D was what may be called
an impressionist in method and real
list in execution. His chief character
istic is his extraordinary power 'in the
synthesis of psychic expression"
Translated into ordinary English and
illustrated by example. this means
something like the following His
much-abused "Balsac" is not so much
a statue of the man as an embodiment
of the "Comedie Humane" his
kiss" Is less the embrace of a man
and woman than the psychology Of
passion in the kiss And, of course,
Rodin was a sensation in the art
world. Nearly every one of his many
works has been hotly discussed with
extravagant praise anu downright
abuse-and is so discussed to this day.
So, If Darde is "a second Rodin." he
is sure of fame, and worldwide fame
at that
A Born Sculptor
This new celebrity who has :son the
Prix National of the Salon for 1920
with his "Faune," spent tie leisure
hours of his sheep herding in carving
models In wood with his pocket knife.
Telling the story of his rise from OBJ
security, which is the great topic of
the day in French art circles, the Par
is correspondent of the London Morn
ing Post relates that an engraver who
lived in the same neighborhood as
young Darde happened to see a piece
of stone carved by him in such fash
ion as to stir his admiration and Curl
osity Gradually he won the shepherd
boys confidence and was allowed to
see many specimens of carving which
had been done with tools reminiscent
of the Stone Age" The engraver sent
word about the brilliant boy to the
Department of Fine Arts in Paris, and
one of the inspectors, NJ. Almond Dat
yot was so impressed with reports OF
the young artist who had never had
a lesson Of any kind that he went to
see him. In 1912 Darde became pu-
pill at the Ecole des Beaux Arts ia
Paris, and after visit to Italy he re-
turned TO the French capital, where
he spent eight days in Robins studio
and then went back into the Cevennes

of her temple for lovemaking and

became so fascinatingly lovely that no
man could keep his eyes off her and
so terrible that all who gazed were

the use of his shield as a mirror and
cut off her head. Athena took the
head and put it in the center of her
shield. The sculptor took his inspira-
