Superb Decorative Statuary Fast Assuming
Form at the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition
ltODIGIOUB works of sculpture are now being completed in the sculp
tural warehouse* of the Panama-Pacific lideruatloual Exposition.
Many of them have already long been finished. The works are re
markable for Imagery and vigor and for beauty of conception.
Not for many years will the world be enabled to enjoy ao marvelous a cot-
tectloo of tbe works of contemporary sculptors. Tbe World's Columbian Ex
position at Chicago first proved that tbe greatest talent might be employed to
produce even work of temporary v|lue Klnce then more and more attention
has liceti given at each succeeding exposition to sculpture aa a form of decora-
tiou. and now the Panama Pacific International Exjiosltion promises to surpass
even Chicago * exquisite display.
Viewing tbe superb groups and Individual j«ie< ea of statuary, tbe visitor
feels like a Lilliputian who has been tran«|>orted into a laud of giants. Home
of tbe great groups are of colossal dimensions. Many of these great pieces of
statuary will adorn huge triumphal arches and wbeu so placed will seem of
nstural size to tbe visitor who stands u|ion the Boors of the exposition courts.
We present upon this page some classical examples of the sketch models
and tbe eularged figures. A number of America's foremost sculptor* bars
been engaged in the production of these figures. Among tbe sculptor* are
many names widely known both lu America and abroad. Tbe list includes
A Stirling Calder, acting director of wulpture; Albert Jaegers. Furl« PlccirrlllL

Tbe sculpture of tbe Panama-Pacific International Exposition will carry
out tbe note of the exposition in celebrating tbe opening of tbe Panama canal.
Tbe spirit of achievement as exemplified by Amer1<-a's work will be Idealized.
W hen tbe sculptors begau to plan tbelr work they bad aa an inspiration an
undertaking which has appealed to tbe imagination of tbe world for centuries.
In tbe opening of tbe Panama canal they saw the final result of four centuries
of effort to secure a passageway between tbe oceans. The statuary will repro
duce upon a wonderful stale the historic incidents conno ted with tbe Panama
canal. Figures of tbe early explorers of the oceans, groups symbolizing tbe
effort to pk-rce the rocky backlwue of tbe continents. compositions designed
to symbolize occidental and oriental themes, colossal representations of strug
gle and achievement, will Illustrate many of the dramatic topic* inseparably
associated with tba search for a passageway to tbe Pacific and wltb the final
buildlug of the canal at Panama.
And while the sculptors are ftst completing their splendid production*,
which reveal the ideals of sculptors of tbe preveut day. other work upon tbe
