Sculpture Show Open to Public In A A Building By Bill Pottker Amor Caritus, Hope and Char ity .. . Auguste St. Gaudens con sidered this bronze casting to be representative of his highest ideals and creative abilities. It is a part of the current exhibit, “300 Years of American Sculpture,” now open to the public at the art gallery of the Arts and Architecture build ing. It was developed between 1887 and 1898. This cast was originally con ceived as a monument for the Ann Smith tomb at Newport, R. I. However, before the piece was completed, the tomb was de stroyed. It was later considered for ARMOR CARITUS the Morgan tomb. When these plans fell through, the project was abandoned. In 1895, the project was resumed under commission of the Ministry of Beaux-Arts of France. The first cast was com pleted and installed in the Luxem bourg gallery at Paris. The French acknowledged the “Amor Caritus” as one of the most sig nificant pieces of the period. Upon its completion, St. Gaudens was elected to the French Legion of Honor. This bronze casting is a high re lief involving some of the finest technical handling and control to be found in modern foundry. The cast on display here is the second to be made and is now a part of the permanent collection of De troit Institute of Arts. A third cast was made but destroyed shortly af 'terward in the St. Thomas church fire in New York. According to the writings of St. Gaudens, the theme, Hope and Charity had attracted him for many years. He considered this delicate casting to be his triumph in the field of modeling.
