  Harry Bates - LoveToKnow 1911
HARRY BATES (1850-1899), British sculptor, was born at Stevenage, Herts, on the 26th of April 1850.
A head and three small bronze panels (the "Odyssey,") executed by Bates in Paris, were exhibited at the Royal Academy, and selected for purchase by the Chantrey trustees; but the selection had to be cancelled because they had not been modelled in England.
Bates died in London on the 30th of January 1899, his premature death robbing English plastic art of its most promising representative at the time.

 Victorian Art in Britain
For the first time a sculptor has been permitted to exhibit not merely an equestrian statue but one with all its mounting of elaborate pedestal and sculptured emblematic figures.
Mr Bates, who is evidently going to employ some manageable stone, makes his pedestal a real portion of the work of art, the symbolic figures of Britannia in front and of India at the rear, and the reliefs of the marching soldiers, contribute in a free and natural manner to the support of the statue.
In the two most famous of all equestrian statues Donatello’s “Gartamolata” at Padua, and Verrochio’s “Collooui” at Venice - the majority of the effect is increased by the size of the horses; the man appears to have at his control a living instrument of enormous force.

Harry Bates, the second leader of this pseudo-classic modern school, sends two of the classic reliefs of the kind with which he first won his reputation, the "Endymion," from the Royal Academy of 1892, and the triptych of marble panels, "Story of Psyche," first exhibited at the New Gallery in 1890.

Harry Partch's shadow looms larger than ever almost 30 years after his death, and his works continue to be performed on his own instruments (or replicas).
The stainless-steel Waterphone of sculptor Richard Waters produces tones on metal rods which are bowed or beaten; the sound is modified by the water within the instrument.
A taste for Partchian spectacle informs the elaborate musical sculptures of Arthur Frick: His "Tug" employs reeds that are sounded by a large bellows which two musicians must ride like a seesaw; the "Beepmobile" turns a huge horn into an even larger tricycle.
