A Collection of Art Reviews
Bacchanalian Dance
As I watched he appeared to be fashioning a tiny thing of matchless beauty, but the figure actually grew before my very eyes into a powerful drama, a sublime epic, a devastating satire. "How free he seems!" I whispered to myself. "Such a man could never be restrained by the shackles of a formal philosophy. His mind is forever darting from star to star, from deep night into midday, from grief to orgies of wild laughter". -- (Reprinted from "Louis Rosenthal, Sculptor", The Jewish Times and written by William Henry Russell)
