Five feet high and of monumental size, she is not destined - to remain . long, in her present cramped quarters. She was made to fill a greater role as the main feature of the Art Cen ter float in the cdmlng Centennial parade. Striking piece of sculp ture, "The Lady Painter? repre sents a kneeling figure, holding a palette In which she is mixing paint, according to the best tradi tions of well trained Art .Center students. " Reclining . at her side is the figure of a dog. ' The construction of the figure Is particularly Interesting, because it is a framework of wood, pad- ded with paper and excelsior, fol lowed- I'wlth 1 a finish5 of ""casting plaster.' and sawdust mixed to build " out the forms. The ' com pleted effect will be that of color ed stone.- Central attraction' of the art center float, "The Lady Painter" will be surrounded by children; Other features, of the float will be worked out In de tail in the next few days. ' ' -. . Benjamin' Wagner, . staff car penter, helped with the building and construction under the super vision of Clarence Bates, Art Cen ter instructor in sculpture, ..who designed the figure; and the rest of the float. .
