GARDEN STATUARY 
BY PAUL MANSHIP 
In Which Archaic Forms Are Modernized 
in a Pleasantly Sophisticated Manner 
Standing at one end of the 
Charles Schwab garden at 
Loretlo, Pa., is this figure 
of an Indian crouching, just 
having released the arrow 
from his bow 
At the other end of the 
Schwab garden, a compan¬ 
ion piece to the Indian, is 
this pronghorn antelope just 
struck by the arrow. Both 
are heroic size 
“Day and the Hours’’ is a 
sundial in bronze executed 
for the garden of E. O. Hol¬ 
ler, Mt. Kisco, N. Y. Fig¬ 
ures of the zodiac encircle 
the base 
Another figure in the 
Schwab garden is a sundial 
of Hercules sustaining the 
universe. The sphere is en¬ 
riched with symbolic deco¬ 
rations 
“The Duck Girl”, a life-size fig¬ 
ure, is pleasantly reminiscent of 
Greece. The drapery, the pose and 
its action fit it eminently for a 
place in the garden 
The lines of the “Spear Thrower” 
are obviously archaic, but in small 
details such as the hair and the 
decorations, one finds Mr. Man- 
ship’s sophisticated touch 
“Atlante”, a figure 30" high, is 
designed to give activity to some 
quiet spot in a garden. A row 
of dolphins forms the decoration 
of the circular base
