any mere individual genius. They became the
mouthpieces of the dynamic imagination of
their epoch.
ut was the same kind of influence that
helped to develop the great school Of English
portrait painters of the eighteenth century.
We Americans are living in such a golden age
today. We ought to be preserving the image
of our time in all the arts Of posterty for the
entire world the others have done but are
we? Certainly not. To great extent our art
expresses the lstless sow-time, lady-in-the-
boudoir European state Of Dnd,
ITO sum it up, lot of vogue pretty things
that signify nothing except futility. It's per-

this game as little lambs"
Mr.. O'Connor rot only holds high place in
American sculpture, but, having had such a
long experience in Europe, he is is in a unique
position to study the forces which operate to
prevent America expressing its own life.

make the bust of a meditating sage. 1t is tlt-
ting in almost any European country today to
make pretty things that don't mean anything,
for that expresses Europe'S state of mind. But
the United States is living today in golden
age-I speak of the epoch and not Of brief
moment of hard times-of terrific virility,
struggle and expansion. By the play of world
forces We have suddenly emerged in the last
few months as the principal Power, if we were
not already so. Americans, themselves, being
too close up, don't know how stirring the times
are But our great momentum is not operating
through dramatic agencies, like war, for ex-
ample which makes it less exciting.
Our art, music, sculpture and literature
should but doesn't, reflect this titanic energy.
Unfortunately, we have slavishly adopted Euro
pean ideas, for Europe does its utmost to en-
force her standards upon us and discourage us
from creating anything of our own.
I'VE are hypnotized by alleged European
superiority in the arts right up to the eyes.
ITO MY mind, we sculptors can best capture
and immortalize this characteristic spirit
of America by turning to sport. 1t is in our
playing fields that one finds the highlights,
the superb attitudes which symbolic and per-
sonify the peoples driving force.
do you suppose that Donatello, Michelangelo
and the other great artists of the Renaissance
would have achieved eternal fame if they had
spent their time carving out pretty little triv-
ialities instead of letting themselves be avenues
for manfestiI1g~ the dynamic awakening of
their epoch? Their works live because there
was life in them, and not merely in them, but
surgng in them.
"It was the same with Rembrandt and the
school of Dutch painters. They lived in Hol-
lands golden age. The little nation was roar
ing with activity, imagination, accomplishment
in every domain, and these painters were
swayed, uplifted, inspired by gigantic mental
forces. Their work represented far more than

to come as the ancient Greeks would
have done.
Isn't it tragedy that we are not grasping
the opportunity to g!orify our race and our
sports in masterpieces of sculpture?
I'VE rave over the figures of the Greek ath
letes, like The Discus Thrower, and talk
though such marvellous models had never been
seen before or since. What piff1e! On a
thousand base ball diamonds, foot ball grid
irons, running tracks tennis courts, swimming
pools and prize rings Americans daily see
flaming, triumphant youth of both sexes in
attitudes that for power, vrility and victory
surpass anything ever known before
THE great men Of the Renaissance who
made stone almost flush and vibrate with life
would have been enthralled to live in our times
In flash they would have picked out athletes
as the most characteristic phase of our life
our temperament-the thing that is the trueSt
mirror of our feelings. In their hands Helen
Wills, Johnny WeisSmuller q Gene Tunney
and legion of foot ball and track stars would
be demi-gods and goddesses held up as shining
examples of physical grace or fitness or skill
And nation prospers on hero worship for
people initiate the models held before them.
uINSTEAD of that, we chsel out old
politician wagging his whiskers, or Ian
guild lady contemplating rose, or, worse STILL
go to Europe for our ideas, and then every one
wonders why America has few, if any, great
sculptorS.
81 know that a few bold souls have done
some athletic subjects, mostly in miniature
but how many cities and schools have really
outstanding works? Why if the United States
were destroyed today and archeologists came
along in several thousand years and began
digging up our monuments to see what kind Of
queer folk we were they would find few indi-
cations, as far as statues are concerned, that
sports had ever played the slightest role in our
life. The Greek athletes in the museums will
live forever to sing the glory of Greece, but no
one will ever know in one or two hundred years
that Albie Booth ever existed. It's dSgrace!"
Andrew OCOnnor, the American sculptor,
recently returned to his studio here from
visit to the States blazing with indignation.
He has been working in Paris for 25 years,
and although he dashes home every few months
to set up monument, he seldom has time
30 study all the little changes. Somehow or

other, he had got it in his mind that his
fondest dream was coming true-that the i'm
mortalS of American playing fields were at last
being done in stone and bronze as a shining
example to generations of boys who have not
yet been born. He has no objection to profess
sional ball players being perpetuated in the
same way but he particularly had in mind prep
school, college and university fellows.
And SO Mr. OCOnnOr took few days off
on his last trip and visited some of the prin-
cipal universities in the eastern part of the
United States
He had picture of stepping down an alley
of majestic old oaks, his body tingling with
excitement hurtling young men, in track,
base ball foot ball togs, tore and strained
at the marble to free their souls and leap at
him. Not one but a hundred, a hundred Of
the purest glories of that particular school,
standing day after day a shining light
driving force challenge to an unending pro-
ceSSion of boys. Disappointed everywhere, he
visited the athletic fields. "If the athletic
heroes are barred from the campuses," he said
to himself, Il will surely find row looking
down from their pedestals some playing
field I can't believe that the stars of yesterday
already forgotten"
Alas, he has been misnformed. few
gloomy looking pedantS and benefactors in
bronze scattered about, and that was all.
There was nothing like plunging halfback
in sight, except the living, ephemeral ones.
III WONDER if the sculptors Of America
realize that they are missing the most
vital, palpitating picturesque side of the ma
tional life and the most gorgeous chances for
themselves by largely neglecting sport" Mr..
O'Connor demanded. "One has to live abroad
and make a contrast with other countries to
appreciate it. Sculpture should be the mirror
of particular time and people, and notably
Of their activity, vision and imagination. 1t
