Sculptor Putnam States That Flourcs
Were Designed According to De
sires of Arciiitccts Frisco Police
Arc Shocked.
Arthur Putnam, the Snn Francisco
sculptor, now recuperating here from
ti stroke of paralysis, when informed
thnt the police of Snn KrnncUco hnil
demanded thnt somo of his statues
venr clothes, stated thnt the work
complained of consists of four panels
Itortrnyiiig sntyrs and nymphs danc
Inp. Ho hail never seen the complet
ed panels, ns ho wns stricken shortly
after dcsijninp them. They were
modeled along lines desired hy archi
tect and builder.
Under the enption, "Art on Bnrbnry
Const Receives Knockout Blow," the
Snn Francisco Chronicle of January
122 contains the following with illus
trations of the art in questien:
Uknsc Is I.ssued.
High art on the Bnrbnry Const has
received n knockout blow and the ef
forts of the proprietors of one of
the enfes of "Terrific street" to up
lift the frequenters of that thorough
fare hy giving them examples of the
genius or. one of ban Frnnciscos
foremost artists, have been rudely
frowned down by the police. They
would put store clothes ou Greek
satyrs, fauns and nymphs.
Coincident with the opening of n
enfe, supjMJsedly a prototype of its
famous namesake of the Montuiurtre,
Paris and ns much like it ns it s
like anything else it occurred to the
proprietor of the place thnt four large
panels in front of the cafe could be
utilized for artistic purposes. The
usual Bnrbnry Const artist confines
himself strictly to the portrayal of
Indies of opulent charms, tinted only
in the matter of clothing and of
bright, not to say noisy, coloring.
With an eye io the desirability of
educating the "Coast" to the finer
lines of art and beauty, the owners of
the cafe decided to employ the best
talent available and Arthur Putnam
was engaged to model four flue pan
els. The only instructions given the
artist were thnt they were to be
artistic nnd symbolic of the pleasures
to bo found within the resort. The
re.snlt was four pnuels in relief, show
ing wood nymphs and satyrs gambol
ing in the mossy dells.
"Klltlcs" arc Ilnrrcd.
Installed in place, the pauels attract
ed considerable admiration nnd while
pome earping critics who ventured
into the place because they believed
that the reliefs advertised the style
of entertainment furnished, when en
lightened, demanded redress or un
dress and hnd to be led gently, but
firmly into the outer nir. All went
well until a few days ago, when the
Anthony Comstock eye of a police
man lighted upon the panels.
"Ha' ye got anything inside here
like ye are advertecsiu' in the frotit?"
he asked.
"We liavo not; 'tis not an advertise
ment, 'tis ar rt."
"It ha' the looks o' an advertccs
ment ta mo. Who arc they)"
"The artist feller said the gent's
numo wns Satyr and the loidy'b
Nymph. lie didu't tell me their lust
names."
"I'm fetill of the opecnion 'tis an
ndvertcesmen an' I might run ye in
for trick an' device; but I'll tell the
Cap'n." He did, and the captain saw
them too.
"Th' Cap'n suys dress 'em uj put
dues on 'em." The proprietor saw
the finish of his expensive works of
urt.
"AH right; I'll put kilts on tho man
mi' "
"Ye will nn; 'tis nu respectable kil
ties thot will go on a benstio like that.
Put him in knickies, puttees an' spats
an' ye like but, mind ye, nn kilties.
Ye ha' owcr duys in which ta design
th' costumes."
Puzilctl Otcr Draperies.
And there tho mutter stands. Tho
drapery for the Nymph may bo eusily
devised but for tho son of Hermes
and Iphthiinu he is undecided between
the designs of Homer and Hesiod;
then ugaiu "it" might not be a Satyr
after all but a Faun or Pun anil honco
ho might again offend tho urtifcliu
honso of tho department by dressing
a Fntin in tho costume of a Satyr. Ho
admits not having read any of the old
vritor8 in the original Greek not
hinco ho has opened tho bur ut leant
nnd so far ho has not been suc
cessful in securing information from
the tracklayers on tho United rail
roads. But tho ukaso from tho Central sta
tion stands, (ho four panels must bo
druped or removed within four duys
and tho proprietor has about decided
that tho most likely solution' will bo
tho placing of canvas overalls on the
figures.
At tho sumo timo nu appeal has
been sent to Park Commissioner and
Artist Eurl Cummings, who is asso
ciated with Putnam, and he, it is said,
has promised to take the matter up
