In the passing of Frank Duveneck is lost a gifted artist who beautified the world in which he lived and who directed the inspiration of the rising generation of painters and sculptors with a skill born of his own natural genius. Of him it can be truly said: "His works do follow him." The base things that he transformed by his touch and bade be reborn to rare beauty will serve as his monuments through the long years.

[[clipping 4 middle page]] 1919 An Artist's Artist Frank Duveneck, whose death was reported yesterday , was often spoken of as an artist's artist in that his distinguished talents were so generally recognized by artists themselves. John Singer Sargeant's comment that Duveneck was "the foremost American disciple of the brush" expressed the opinion of his brother craftsmen. Duveneck was one of the most versatile of American artists. The beautiful recumbent statue of his wife in the English cemetery at Florence, a reproduction of which is in the Metropolitan museum, established his reputation as a sculptor. A testimonial to his ability as an etcher is the fact that some of his etchings were attributed by London connoisseurs to Whistler. He was best known, however, for his paintings. The models of his early paintings were mostly foreign. "The Whistling Boy" is unquestionably German, "The Flower Girl" Italian but on the canvas they are a German boy and an Italian girl seen through the eyes of an American artist. Both of these fine examples of his work, as well as seven of his best paintings, are in the museum of his native city, Cincinnati. It is a matter of regret that Duveneck left so comparatively few examples of his superior skill as an artist. - New York Sun.
