WILLIAM M. EVARTS Modelled in New York immediately after the sculptorsreturn from Italy. Mr. Evarts was one of his first patrons,and this was the first portrait bust that Saint^Gaudens exc/cuted.
Text Appearing After Image:
mental base for the bronze. It is well to remember thedate of the Farragut, 1880^81. At that time we werestill more or less held in thrall by the facile makers ofsoldiers* monuments, those dreary, lifeless producetions which cheered our patriotism and ought to haveshocked our taste. Saint-Gaudens pointed a way to abetter order of things. To do this was to do much, butthe sculptor did more when the commission for the Lin^coin at Chicago was given to him. Under the pressureof a greater inspiration than Farragut supplied, his artleaped forward, rising to a more imposing height. The Lincoln has always seemed to me one of thesalient statues of the world, a portrait and a work of artof truly heroic mould. Simplicity is its predominatingcharacteristic. Precisely in this attitude does one preferto see Lincoln portrayed, with no hint of dramatic move^ment, with nothing of the orator, but with everythingof the quiet, self-contained genius that was the sameunder all circumstances, in all crises.
