School Arts - Augustus Saint-Gaudens: The Shaw Memorial Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907) was famous for making two kinds of art that relatively few artists pursue: (1) monumental public sculpture, and (2) small-scale portrait reliefs (raised images carved from a flat background of stone or marble, or shaped in plaster and often cast in bronze). Augustus Saint-Gaudens' tribute to the Massachusetts Fifty-fourth is a colossal relief sculpture measuring 11 x 14 feet (33 x 42 m). Today this bronze is on display at Saint-Gaudens' Cornish property, and the restored plaster is at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

SI OAHP: SPQ: Fall/Winter 1995 Gaudens, having studied images of the Buddha in drawings and photographs, converted his understanding of the contemplative attitude they represented into the enigmatically peaceful face. The fact that an unauthorized copy of St. Gaudens' figure was made in 1906-1907 for a grave site in Baltimore's Druid Ridge Cemetery confirms that the composition was still understood in early twentieth century America as a piece of funerary art belonging in a cemetery. Gaudens returned in this monument to a concept he would have known well from his years in France, the brooding tomb figure seen on many monuments in the Parisian cemetery called Pere Lachaise. www.si.edu /oahp/spq/spq95sf1.htm   (1093 words)
