[[IMAGE]] GEORGE GREY BARNARD. [[2 IMAGES]] FRAGMENT OF A NORWEGIAN TOMB. tions which sculpture has, but Barnard's fearlessness and energy have carried it to successful completion, and the work shows more delicacy and subtle grace than most of his other productions. It is only by struggle that force is gained, and his most forceful work is that which must have cost him his greatest struggle. Some groups in marble, fragments of a tomb, have brought the suggestion that he is a pupil or a follower of the French sculptor, Rodin, from the fact that the figures are shown half imbedded in the rough-hewn stone. This trick of Rodin to marble in a from all traditions. "What," he says,"could be worse, folly, worse deceit toward ourselves and our fellow-man than to steal, beg, or borrow eyes from the Greek? Let us look at the way they built, but build for ourselves." His figure of a crouching boy is modeled with the same artistic skill and feeling of life which characterize his other work, though it is the first which he produced after quitting the studio of his master, Chevalier in Paris.
