Excerpt from Brush and Pencil, Vol. 10: An Illustrated Magazine of the Arts of to-Day; April 1902 to September 1902 It is impossible, even now, when in point of time Macmonnies is hardly more than on the threshold Of his career, to refuse to one who has accomplished SO much, and has won such recognition at home and abroad, the title of master, and yet it can be fancied that the sculptor would be the first to reject any such assumption. The nervous force which is behind all the ap parent exuberance of his work is not likely to sit down en route and placidly savor the fruits of early success. It is far more likely to serve as an incentive to put by each ac complished work and seek in fresh fields new problems; and with Changing ideals, as years bring the burden which they always bring, and the compensating depth of perception which is granted to serious minds, we can fairly look for work which both in the accrued surety Of execution and the seriously considered conception will assure Macmonnies a place among the few great masters Of the age. Leaving all that is problematical in such a forecast, we can, for work already accomplished, regard Macmonnies as a most happy exponent of the conjunction of capacity, opportunity, and youth. Given his undeniable gifts, granted the fervor Of ambitious youth, he is yet fortunate to. Come upon the scene when our Civil War has left great deeds to perpetuate, when the people Of these states have relaxed their toil to look about them and seek to beautify their surroundings.
