...Century and Coffee House Clubs. Earning some $60,000 a year, he lived in solid style. He worked in a sack suit and smock, talked little about the theory of art. Once a year he took out his restlessness in travel. His exhibitions were non-portable: a heroic statue of Lincoln at 21 before Fort Wayne's Lincoln National Insurance Co. building; an Indian hunter fountain in St. Paul's Cochran Memorial Park; a war memorial at Rome's American Academy; many a set piece in U.

In the middle of a show room of portrait heads and animal studies stretched a heroic nude rising from the ground on one arm, entitled Rising Figure. Critics hailed it as one of the most important pieces of sculpture in years, a tie with William Zorach's Spirit of the Dance (banned by Roxy, restored last week to Radio City's Music Hall...
