Patron of Arts

Today, the United States Gov.
ernment Is the patron of the arts
in the Capital Of the Nation.
Huge sums have been appro-
priated at the direction of PreSi-
dents and by the action of Con-
gresS to beautify the city along
the Potomac River. And although
it may have been thought that
the Government went in for
purely practical structures, the
results of the development Of the
Federal Triangle proves the con-
trary.
Because, despite the fact that
every building in the Triangle
serves a definite utilitarian pur-
pose, they are all being orna.
mented with the best sculpture
that the nation can offer.
Pediments, friezeS and large in
dividual figures are gracing the
exteriorS and interiors of the
important Federal buildings in
Washington-not in any style
that pretendS to improve on the
ancient Greeks, but in q style
that copies and does honor to
them.
The Washington times., 1935-09-28

figures adjoining the building here.
Every precept of Greek art, from
the heroic size to the exaggerated
muscles and the draped figures,
has been perpetuated in the Amer
ican sculpture.
Even the panels on the beauti-
fully simple Folger Shakespeare
Library go to the Greeks for their
inspiration. Although the figures
represent characters In the plays
Of the Bard Of Avon, they have the
carriage and the stature OF the
ancient Grecian gods.
John Gregory, the sculptor OF
the Folger building, has made IL
panels syrnbolizing II Of Shakes
peare's masterpieces, "A Mid
sommer's Night Dreame." 1.-THE
Tragedie of Romeo and Juliet, I"
THE Merchant of Venice" "The
Tragedie of Macbeth" "The
Tragedie of Julius Caesar" "The
Tragedie Of King Lear" "The
Life and Death Of Richard the
Third" 1.-THE Tragedie Of Ham
let" and 1.-THE First Part Of
Henry the Fourth"
The great growth Of sculpture
in washington in the past few
years is similar to the golden
age" Of Pericles not only in
volume and content, but in the
method in which it developed.
In the fifth century B. c.,
when PericleS was the leading
statesman in Athens, he was not
only the patron but the guiding
spirit that moved PhidiaS and the
other sculptors of the era to
make Athens the place Of beauty
that it was.
In his desire to make Athens
the greatest city Of antiquity and
to preserve it for centuries to
come, Pericles spared no expense.
He took huge sums from the
Athenian public treasury, not
only to wage wars and add to
the military glory Of Athens, but
also to beautify the city as no
other city had been or since has
been beautified.
To accomplish this purpose, he
called on the best architects and
The Washington times., 1935-09-28

the best sculptors that his age
offered. And their work stands
in part even to this day.
He called, among others, on
Phidias, a painter, an architect,
and above all, a sculptor. Phidias
was the Michaelangelo Of antiq-
uity.
He is credited in large part with
having made the Acropolis what
it was. His powerful statue Of
Athena for the Acropolis is still a
model for all sculptorS.
For the Parthenon, he made a
colossal statue Of Athena in gold
and ivory that modern SculptorS
from that time to this have been
unable to improve. His gold and
ivory Zeus for the Olympia temple
is another piece that is immortal.
The largeness and dignity of his
sculpture has been used as a
model ever since his time.

Tribute to Green

Architecturally, it is Greek as
much as the Parthenon in
Athens is Greek. It's dazzling
white columned simplicity is like
q tribute to Greece itself.
In its sculpture, it also shows
the influence. of Greece. more
particularly Of the age Of Pericles
and his sculptor or sculptorS,
Phidias.
It's psdiment and friezeS show
that Qreece'S efforts have lived
through the ages to the glory
not only Of Greece but Of those
who have used her as a model.
In rich allegoricaI beauty, illus
trating the history Of justice from
the beginning Of civilization, the
panels are the work Of Alexander
Weinman, who is well known in
washington for his giant sphinxes
on the Scottish Rite Temple and
for his pediment sculptures on the
new Post Office and Archive
Buildings.
The four sculptured panels in
the Supreme Court building are
its principal adornment on the in
terror.
On the east wall the panel has
four Symbolical figures, represent
ing "The Majesty Of the Law"
"The Power of Government" "

two groups Symbolizing 1.-THE Safe
guarding Of the Rights Of the Peo-

well as through scenes that hardly
have any historical significance,
the personal viewpoint rescueS the
sketches from the doldrums.
In order that there will be no
mistake about his volume, Julian
Meade does carry his notebook to
such famous places as the homes
of Ellen Glasgow and James

Mr.. Meade is quiet in his obser-
vations but not at all ineffective.
His wit which has not been too
cruelty Sharpened by his tangentS
from the old homestead, but slips
out gleefully in the most Staid

In his story anent his visit to
the Cabell home in Richmond he
tells Of the comment Of one Of
his old family friends. Like one
Of the respectful younger genera
ton he was recounting the visit
when his elder remarked:
"Oh yes, that's Annie Cabell'S
boy. He wrote an awful book

The powerful beauty Of the
sculpture of ancient Greece has,
in fact, had a rebirth in Wash
ington.
OF all the types Of sculpture
that have developed throughout
centuries, the Creek alone has per-
sisted to this day. And in Wash
ington, just as in Pericles' day, the
public buildings are heavy with
heroic, symbolic sculpture in dazzl-
ing white marble.
Nowhere in the world and at no
other one time in history has
there been such a renaissance OF
Greek sculpture as there has been
recently in the Nations Capital.
Government buildings in the
Triangle and wherever Uncle Sam
has chosen to place his edifices
are being splendidly adorned in
the manner of ancient Greece.
The new Supreme Court Build
ing. for instance, which will re-
ceive that august court next
month, is one of the best ex-
amples of the rebirth Of ancient
Greek art in the United States.
The Washington times., 1935-09-28
Heroic Size

The heroic size statuary at both
entrances to the Archives Building
have attracted attention the world
over. Their size, their power and
the symbolism expressed in them
were inspired by the Greek.
On the Pennsylvania side, there
are the two Aitken tigures-the
History Of the Past" with a
closed book in the hand Of q huge
male seated figure, and the "His-
tory Of the Future" q seated wom-
an holding In her hands an open
book.
Guarding the Constitution Ave
nue. entrance to the building are
the figures Of q Roman gladiator
and Maternity with q babe in her
arms.
Weinman's pediment does hon
or to the symbolized figures Of
Peace and War and History in its
romantic aspects.
Frasier's perSonification Of
Archives receiving documents
from figures on both right and
left is one of the high spots in
the building.
At no time since the early part
Of the last century when the
Capitol was under construction
has there been such an outburst
Of sculpture In the National
Capital.
The best talent in the country
has been employed on the new
Government buildings, and the
best talent has turned to the
Greeks for its inspiration. The
Grecian alteration Of beauty and
physical strength, reflected in the
sculpture of the days Of Pericles,
Is equally apparent in the carved
The Washington times., 1935-09-28

While all these figures are
purely allegorical, which is very
much in the style with the an
cient Greeks, the pediment is
something different. The pedi'
ment, which graces the top Of the
beautiful $10,o00,000 Supreme
Court building, overlooking the
spacious dazzling steps, looks to
the Greeks for anther type Of
sculpture.
It takes figures from con-
temporary life and immortalizes
them in marble, just as the an
cient Greeks immortalized their
lawmakers and their gods.
Robert Aitken, the sculptor Of
the Supreme Court pediment, is
called q modern because he works
with contemporary figures, but in
his pediment he has combined
allegory with the twentieth cen
tury and dressed his twentieth
century figures in the togas of
o44C4C11b GGCCCCs
In his pediment, the figures
are Elihu Root, one-time secre.
tary Of State; the late CaSs Gill
bert, architect Of the building;
Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes:
former Chief. Justice william
Howard Taft, when he was Q
student at Yale: former Chief
Justice John Marshall, as he
looked when he was q boy, and
Aitken himself.
Gracing the center Of the pedi-
ment, are the symbolic figures
Of Authority" and Liberty
Enthroned."
The Archives Building, too, Is
the pride Of the guardians Of
the United States Sculptured
beauty.
Standing at the apex Of the
Federal Triangle, its architectural
simplicity is similar to the
Supreme Court ana to the dig
nified Lincoln. Memorial, which
recently was selected as one Of
the seven most beautiful build
ings in the world.
The sculpture on this beautiful
Greek structure Is divided among
Weinman, Aitken and James

"The Wind Blew West" O new

lished when most book reviewers
are tearing their hair at the sight
Of what is generally known las

Sagas and the soil have both

West" however, has nothing to
do with history, and, hence, with
life, itself.
This is the story Of the great
westward influx toward Texas,
back in the stirring days Of 1870.
It Is the story Of Indian warfare,
when paleSkins still furnished a
target for arrow shafts; the story
Of covered wagons dotting the
prairie grass: the story Of the
Iron Horse clearing the path for
civilization across the plains to
the Pacific.
People are in it, too. Not as
historic memorials reerected to
stir the memory Of man, but as
roiStering flesh and blood, eager
to turn q frontier into q town.
They make up q story you will
want to read and remember.
Try them, then, and let them
stand on their own merits. "The

tale Of the great outdoors, but
there should be room for it on
