Synopsis
Excerpt from The Outlook, Vol. 66: Published Weekly; September 1, 1900
Hall of Sculpture. Fine indeed is the effect of these heroic groups of plaster and bronze, with our own St. Gaudens's Gen eral Sherman and Macmonnies's eques trian group taking a most distinguished place. One feels inclined to spend all his remaining time in this one department, but the American determination to see it all hurries him on. Many fine sculpt ures are also found throughoutthe grounds, including some old friends of the World's Fair at Chicago. Almost everywhere, in the interior of the buildings, one finds evidence of the touch of taste. This may not be art in the highest sense, but it gives one the feeling that this people, whatever its faults, has come nearer, in some directions, than has any other to realizing the ideal of beauty.
