SCULPTQRS ODYSSEY URAIJO 'l'AI T, like all trtle artists, derived .1 lseen delight from creatingf-from expressing in tangible form his thoughts and emotions. ft was as .1 lad of thirteen that he had his first experience in sculpturing, when he aided in the repairing of some damaged casts. The interest thus awakened soon came to embrace clay modeling, a phase of the subject which particularly fascinated the young man during his college career. After his graduation from the University of Illinois in l879, Mr. 'liaft continued his studies in Paris for five years, although his financial status was, at this time, 'quite low. Here he also taught in the missions. Upon his return to the United States in 1886, the artist opened his first studio in Chicago and became a teacher at the Art institute. This year, too, marked the beginning of his lec- turing, for, from this time forth, his services were constantly in demand. Wfhile the Will' was being waged he entertained the soldiers with talks on art and life in general, as he was then in Ifrance. W'hen peace was declared, he continued his work, speaking, in the course of forty-three years, in all the states of the Union except Arlsansas and Florida. Soon the sculptor, finding his former studio too small for his growing needs, moved to larger quarters and gradually was forced to expand still more. Perhaps the principal factor which made increased space imperative was the fact that Mr. Taft af- lowed students to live on his property free of charge, and to assist him in his handiwork. He was a patient and sympa- thetic instructor, offering constructive criticism and helpful encouragement both to his pupils and to the artist community on the Midway. It is by such men as Lorado Taft that the world is enabled to advance on the march, uplifted culturally and spiritually. Pugi' I I4
