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

tors have learned that Smith was hazed
on the day he disappeared. Smith was
'2D years of age and a freshman.
