CHAPTER I A WORLD WITHOUT SCULPTURE is very true that sometimes the absolute value of ITa thing is only completely realised by its loss. Sup- posing all the sculpture in the world were lost We are accustomed to having sculpture around us, and invariably we have regarded it at less than its value ; but supposing there had never been any sculpture in the world ! Civilisation would have been a more slug- gish affair, for one of the earliest agents to expedite civilisation was the primitive man who first incised a pattern on clay ; another was that primal observer of nature who carved the first bone ; who made the first ivory tusk the medium of a dawning need of human expression—that faculty which separates man from all other animals. It was not the birth of thought as we now understand thought, but it was the birth of the faculty for the expression of thought, the faculty that constructed the cradle of civilisation. A thousand years passed and painting joined its elder brother, sculpture : graphic art was added to glyptic, and the primitive artist's ideas rapidly de- veloped. He made images somewhat in the shape of himself, somewhat in the shape commanded by his imagination, the instinct of the sculptor working urgently and imperatively within him. These images became fantastically daubed as time went on, the in- stinct of the painter manifesting itself. As the sum of SCULPTURE OF TO-DAY pleasure in these creations multiplied, the desire to intensify this pleasure and to extend it as far as might be in the direction of ecstasy, led to the invention of pattern. Spot was added to spot, blotch to blotch, bar to bar, cross to cross, and primitive man became a designer. He could invent, absolutely, something he had never seen in nature. When man created the totem, carved and painted and decorated, he pointed the way to Greece as well as to Heaven and Hell. Most varieties of roses have thorns, and the artist stands for pain as well as pleasure. If, on the one hand, he becomes idolatrous at the shrine of the god of beauty, the birth-bed of his supreme ecstasy, on the other, he sacrifices himself with a whole- sale altruism in order that the world may be full of the beauty which he sees with such fervency and produces with such fecundity. Art is worship, and when primi- tive man sculpted his totem it was in order that he should worship it, and in worship develope one of the finest of the human faculties, that of awe. God created him in His own image, and that image he has bowed down to ever since, even though its form developed into the Aphrodite or the Hermes. The kind of worship changed with the kind of art which produced it. We have ceased to pray to our images, but our awe at their beauty can never grow less. Where then would the world have been without its images ? It is an idle question, but it serves to draw together the vague strands of wonderment into a cord of thought. A world without sculpture is unthinkable. Planes and plain dimensions ; spheres, circles and squares ; ovals, spheroids, volutes possibly there might — A WORLD WITHOUT SCULPTURE been : a have world of three dimensions governed by- geometry. A world without sculpture would have been a world fit for mathematicians to live in, but hardly a world fit for ordinar^^ loving human beings to live and love in. Even the world offered to us by the painter would not have compensated us for the absence of sculpture. The painter gives us pattern and design as the geo- metrician does, but he works in less dimensions length and breadth—even. He gives us colour and he gives us form and he gives us semblance, but his form is circumscribed by a Line or a shadow, his semblance by a convention. The sculptor can give us form in all dimensions ; semblance accurate enough and subject to measurement, and if he so wills—as he has so willed —colour to the life. Art is a pregnant paradox. It ebbs and flows, it grows and decays it ; leaps and it struggles. To-day it is bound in convention, to-morrow it bursts into new glorious life. One year it adorns with fripperies the salons of frivolous kings, the next it builds the solemn naves of shrines devoted to the worship of the most high God. Art languishes when it is bound, whether by convention or by domination ; it flourishes when it is free of these. It is not in the first place co-operative nor collective, it is individual, and its circumstances are most diverse. One artist must needs brood in silence, while another's inspiration comes from contact with the world and men. One lives in princely fashion and visits princes, another's model-throne by day is his couch by night. He lives, feeds, breathes and has his being only as part of his art. SCULPTURE OF TO-DAY Benvenuto Cellini was at home either in his casting- shop, eating his meals there with his apprentices and their girls, or at the table of the King. Michelangelo worked for the Pope, but would rather have worked for himself in solitude. Turner turned from what were to many the delights of London, scorning the honours that might have been his, and hid himself by the river- side in Chelsea. Blake was content to dwell with his devoted wife in poverty and hard work, because only under those circumstances was he able to see the revel- ations which were to him the whole of art and life.

    3.1901 Buffalo Endurance Run.2.Pdf

    The Morrisania Court fined David W. Bishop Jr. $10 after he was arrested for exceeding the 15 miles per hour speed limit. This was the very reason that the endurance run committee created a maximum 15 miles per hour speed as most municipalities at that time posted 15 miles per hour speed limits, or less! Photo from the September 18, 1901 issue of Horseless Age magazine. Stage One was dusty with deep and bumpy sandy ruts once the contestants departed New York City. The route was difficult to follow. In one village the speed limit was 4 miles per hour. Some hills were difficult to climb and then the downhill run the cars “frequently exceeded 25 miles per hour!” At the closing of the Poughkeepsie control at 9:30 PM seventy-five of the eighty starters had arrived. For stage Two the weather was good but the roads “varying from good to bad and treacherous.” Sixty-five vehicles arrived in Albany within the time limit. Wednesday September 11 the automobiles had to “slacken their speed” due to wet roads in the morning and heavy rain in the afternoon. All the vehicles “skidded to the point of danger.” 51 vehicles reached Herkimer before 9:40, the time of closing the control. Stage Four on Thursday September 12th was another day of rain. The “roads were mostly miserable in the morning with only a few fair stretches.” Tire and axle failure at this point of the endurance run was high. 48 vehicles arrived at the Syracuse closing of the control at 9:30 PM.

    It Is Now a Number of Years Since the Bowman Sculpture Gallery Has Held

    It is now a number of years since the Bowman Sculpture Gallery has held an exhibition solely focused on The New School of British Sculpture and it is a pleasure to see the Gallery again showing extensive examples of the leading artists involved. The New British School, also referred to as the New Sculpture, followed a period when the Neo Classicism of such sculptors as Canova, Thorvaldsen and Gibson was regarded as the acme of their art and they featured in many of the great Houses of the time. Towards the end of the 19th Century the expanding middle class, who had a growing interest in the Arts, created a demand for smaller and more domestic sculpture began. At the same time painters such as Lord Leighton, who sculpted Athlete Wrestling with a Python and The Sluggard, and George Frederick Watts, who produced the great monument Physical Energy, were bringing ‘colour’ into the subject by varied patination and their treatment of shape. This movement was undoubtedly fuelled by a reaction against what was seen to be the severity of the Neo Classicists but the principal initiators of this ‘New’, most attractive and impressive period of British Sculpture, were Jules Dalou who taught at The South Kensington School of Art, for eight years from 1871, his friend Édouard Lantéri, who taught at The National Art Training College (later renamed The Royal College of Art) and Alfred Stevens. The result was, as one critic has said, ‘a perfect synthesis of the spiritual and the sensual’. This approach to the subject was adopted by the ‘New’ sculptors.

The family of Rhind is by many supposed to have originated in the Low Countries; but the probability is greater that the name is of native origin, and derived either from the parish of Rynd, in Perth- shire, or from the estate of Rhind (in 1509' Rynde)', in Fifeshire. The name is said to signify in Gaèlìc ' a point,' 1365.—In the Register of the Privy Council' of Scotland, Patrick Rynd appears in 1365 as bailie of Forfar. In Robertson's Index of Charters Sub David II. (1329-1370) appears notice of a charter to "Marthacus Rind' of four oxengate of land of Cass and four oxengate in the forest of Platter, in the County of Forfar; also, a similar charter to Murthaens del Rynd granted at Dundeè on the 31st of July and in the 37th year of the reign of the same sovereign (1365), the reddendo in the latter case being of albarum cirothecarum, or 2d. in silver, in name of blench, only if asked, and at 'our manor of Forfar.' 1415 — Alexander de Rend, Knight, is witness to a deed dated at Aberdeen 6th February 1415 (Register of the Bishopric of Moray).
