MED .FORD DAILY TK1BUNK, MKDFQED, OKKdON. Tl'KSD.W, (MTOliKI. (i. V.W. LIVE AGAIN IN PLASTER October Sunset Cover De signed by a Sculptor Whose Family Is Here The October number of the Sunset is an unusually attractive one and its fltory of Med ford and the Rogue River valley under the title of "On the Trail of Hkookum Johj' ie the best adver tistuent ever printed of this region. The striking cover design of the mag s:bre tooth tiger iu h!s native lair was designed by Arthur I'm man, the Sun Francisco sculptor, a brother of (ieorge f Put man of the Med ford Tribune. The former's wife and child are now visit ing in Med ford. Sunset also contains a portrait of Arthuh Putnmn and cuts of some of his groups and under the caption, " Animals Trupped in Plaster," the following ap preciation of his work hy Lucy linker Jerome: ".Sculpture is an art understood by few. To the average person, more or less interested iu the euperfieialties of prt, the word sculptor conveys the idea of a mere carver of stone. Such names asPhidian, Michel angelo, liarye. Rodin. Krnost Barrias and a dozen others float in his brain as vague memories, fur what they are and what they have done is beyond his knowledge or recognition. Perhaps no other branch of the art of fers so fascinating and vigorous a field of Iiibot; none other yields so pure n creative joy, fulfills the inspiration of a vital conception, or repays the stren uous ardor of a modeling power which unveils Life in its innst naked, uuhaslnd forms while yet glowing with reticence and mystery. "The sculptor is primarily a modeler. On this basis must the higher reaches of bis skill and imagination rest. August Rodin is known as :i prodigious modeh r -one of the greatest that ever lived, according to Kenyon ('ox, and it is this indispensable faculiy which has placed him well on the road to eternal fame. "Of San Francisco's half-down t-ul p tors Arthur Ptitmaa is becoming known for just this particular faculty i which has been recognized iu Paris and n Rome as an evidence of a talent at knee singular and forceful, primal iu ils fonception and powerful in execution. Exhibiting in Paris and Roman salons of lOOt! and 1P07. his modeling of two pumas rubbing sides attraced immediate attention, and was recognized as some of the most virile and powerful work in the salon. "It is obvious thai work of this character must have been made possible nit her by force of long and arduous training or by force of natural creative power, lloth are true of Putmi'.n. Self taught from the start, ami aided by suggestions and criticisms, he has al tained a breadth of vision, a grap of essentials and a daring of elimination which has brought him near, as has been ha id of Michelangelo, to "that treat i meat of form which renders its solidity, its structure ami its movement more instantaneously percept i':!.: 1 hati they are in nature itself.'' Deeply interest-1 ed in the, study of wild animals in their natural poses, Putnam has observed every vein, cord and muscle with the keenness of an anatomist, and his abil ity as a draughtsman is brilliantly evi denced by those wonderful drawings of' the human figure of which Sargent said: "It is incredible that such astonishing work should be produced in the twen tieth century." "Putnam never copies the model, but j refers to it when the group is complete in jose. When a hoy, he devised the plan by which he now secures his tie mend onn effects. "Whenever 1 saw an animal in net ion," he says, "a horse galloping, for islance, I would look wiih 'all my eyes, and then, shutting them 'quickly try to photograph the jet ion 'on my bruin. I found that f could re member the postures a:id act ion wit Ii 'great vividness ami these mental photo graphs have been models to my inspira tion. "It has been said that imperfect proportion and admirable draughtsman ship are not incompatible. This also is ' true of Putnam's work. Mis draughts ' manship, incomparable in itself, does not always intnde absolute proportion of ' line or limb, as indicated in the model, but mere accuracy of shape and size does not 'appeal to his sculptural in ntinct, nor docs neourney of outline always carry tho impression or deliver it. Great drawing drawing that is full wf intelligence and of meaning not mere drawing, is what characterizes PHtnim's work. To him. art is the idea well carried out, not the measure ment of joints; the faithful photograph ic "adherence to tho smallest detail if neither his aim nor his method. Tn short, he doe not ntempt to measure a well with a yardstick. "Ten pieces of bronze done by Put ham have recently been on exhibit in San Francisco. These animal bronze i Are epitomes of forest and jungle life. They represent savagery in its inti mate aspects. The lean fierceness of bis wounded tiger, with wide open jaws, fore paws grinding together and curved lashing tail, show as no word" eonltl the rending agony of dissolution. It is the materialization of an idea the magnificent, sublimated idea of 4m to. Here is no vain surrender; n battle rages, and the roars of the dying til toe world. "A wonderful piece of modeling i that which shows bent and hmion lt ed in the deatheoltiteh, a ma if and lioness each rendered wi;h superb ty of expression and rlearnen of thotifjht. tuite dtfferrnt is thetiny roekaby elephant which lurches to ward yon with such delightful abandon thQyour heart war in toward the little brute aihl yon tuurli liitn, half timid., rxucii:itf tn fttr tlu rough, warm hide.

It is just these rlianniuj;, intimate aspects of lift that uttraet those not able to judge such work from its other side from the standpoint of the undoubted genius that they display or from the point of view of the crit it whose f ii net ion it is neither to overpraise nor overMame, but to point oat the direction in which man is go ing without striving to discover how far the artist mav have traveled.
