A MEXICAN m e orial art
Afound it's finest expression
through Augustus Saint Gaud-
ems. the renowned sculptor,
whose monuments to great
Americans raised him to the pin
nacle of artistic achievement.
His noble tributes to many of our
national heroes are to be met
with in our larger cities and are
familiar to millions.
Saint audens was born in
Dublin, Ireland, on March 1, 1848,
of an Irish mother and a French
father. But America rightly
claims him for her own, because
he was brought here as an infant.
In New York, where the family
made its. home, his father piled
his trade as shoemaker, earning
a modest living. The boys talents
showed themselves early, and at
thirteen he was apprenticed to a
cameo cutter. This trade sup
ported him through arduous
years as an art student, in the
evening classes at Cooper Unit .
By the time he was nineteen
his skill as a sculptor was so
marked that his parents, at great
sacrifice, sent him to Paris for
advanced study. A steerage pas
sage was all they could afford.
Later. he went to Rome to study,
and cameo cutting was his chief
means Of support there.
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1936-03-27

His skill, however, was soon
recognized, and commissions for
important memorials began to
come to him. Among the first was
the order for a memorial to Ad-
miral Farragut, which is now
standing in New York and is con-
sidered among the city's fore
most sculptural possessions.
The fame of Saint audens.
spread quickly. Among the many
works that came from his stud
los, his spirited equestrian statue
of General Sherman, also in New
York, is especially celebrated.
His Shaw memorial in Boston
and the beautiful statue of Lin
coin in England are two more of
the products of his gifted hands.
Perhaps the most admired of
Saint audens' productions, how
ever, is the figure of "Grief," the
Adams Memorial, in Rock Creek
Cemetery, Washington, D. c., a
sketch of which is shown above.
It is probably the most famous
private memorial in America.
Saint-Gaudens spent the last
twenty-five years of his life in
Cornish, New Hampshire, where
his studio attracted dozens of
students. On the grounds of the
beautiful estate stands "The
Temple" wherein are sealed the
ashes of Saint audens, who died
on August 3, 1907.
