Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exhibition of Sculpture by Gutzon Borglum, Avery Library, Columbia University, February Twenty-Eight, Nineteen Fourteen
It is not Within the scope of this ar tiele to dwell upon or enumerate the many and varied works that mark his genius and versatility, and that plead eloquently to all students of poetry, and lovers of the beautiful, to picture the grace and sentiment that take form un der his feverish hand. The Mares of Diomedes, the Centaurs, the marvelous Head of Lincoln, and the all pervading love and affection that beam from those masterpieces, Motherhood and Won derment of Motherhood.
In Borglum we find no extravagant fancy of a deluded mind or incapable hand. No sign of retrogression, no ten dency toward chaos, no turning back to mimic the primitive art of cave-dwellers. The cubes and pyramids of Pythagoras may sleep undisturbed. The hydro cephalus of the new perception finds no responsive chord. Nature, as we all see it, alone is his guide.
