The dejected and desolate Outcast, so huge and so tragic, is in sharp contrast with the quaint and fanciful "Fawn's Toilet," by the same hand, at the entrance to the Colonnade. Attilio and Furio Piccirilli, whose work has been here noticed, are brothers, members of a family of sculptors. The Sower Garden Exhibit, Colonnade
I think that Albert Jaegers, with his two single figures on top of the two columns flanking the Orchestral Niche, actually represents our own two seasons much more successfully than does Piccirilli.
Among recent sculpture, one of the most interesting works shown is a group by C. L. Pietro, of New York, "The Mother of the Dead," a powerful story in bronze of the burden which the war has brought to woman. Another human tragedy is well told in "The Outcast," a graphic figure by Attilio Piccirilli. The honor-winners in sculpture are named in the following list. Awards
Young Mother with Child by Furio Piccirilli. 8. Idyl by Olga Popoff Muller. 13. An Outcast by Attilio Piccirilli. 14. Before the doorway is to be placed The Pioneer Mother Monument by Charles Grafly. About the rotunda are: 1. Lincoln by Daniel Chester French, a dignified portrayal that cannot be justly judged from the plaster model here exhibited. 4.
The four niches with the groups of the seasons, by Piccirilli, screened behind the double columns, come from a detail in the baths of Caracalla. The Romans liked to glimpse scenes or statuary through columns. Guerin has applied a rich coloring, his favorite pink, and McLaren has added a poetic touch by letting garlands of the African dew plant, that he made his hedge of, flow over from the top.
Living in New York in truly Florentine style is the Piccirilli family a household of five families. It is said that nowhere in America is the old Florentine style of the fourteenth century way of living so well exemplified. The men of the family were marble cutters, but within the last few years Attilio, an elder brother, has been expressing himself in sculpture of a pronounced order.
He wanted to express the elemental attitude of mind toward nature, the artistic childhood of the race." When we examined the figures of the Piccirilli groups in detail, we found that they possessed excellent qualities. They carried on the traditions of the wall-fountains so popular in Rome and often associated with water running over steps.
