A—6 THE EVENING WITH SCULPTURNG ‘Angela Gregory Here After Finishing Big Commission for New Orleans. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. | A living proof of the old saying that “big things frequently come in little | packages,” is the young New Orleans sculptress, Miss Angela Gregory, who at | 25 years of age has just eompleted the | important commission of designing all | the sculptural decoration for the new Criminal Courts and jail building of the | Louisiana city. Miss Gregory, thf’ father is the head of the department of mining engineering at Tulane Univer- sity, has arrived in Wasniizgton to be the | guest of Miss Fanny Bunaud-Sevastes. | Who is at present assisting the Inter- | American Commission of Women. | Dark-eyed and piquant, Miss Gregory. | ‘whose maternal ancestors were French and early settlers of Louisana, is a| charming representative of ths lovely | women of the old French city whose history is portrayed in the bronze and | limestone sculpture designed by the vouthful artist for the facade of the new civic buildings. Although the com- mission awarded Miss Gregory and so skillfully executed by her was one of | the mcst important of its kind ever | given a single person in the Southern ! city. the young woman has not been in the least spoiled by the prominence | which has followed her work and tells! you with the most modest simplicity that she was “simply floored when of- fered the appointment to do ths work | and I haven's gotten over it yet.” | Ten Menths to Design. It took Miss Gregory nearly 10 months | to complete the designing and casting of | her models. “Professional models are | practically unknown in New Orleans,” | she explained, “and most of the models for my figures were Tulane University students. who as students of architec- turek were interested in posing for the work.” Miss Gregory had just completed a three-year sojourn abroad, where she | had studled under the famous French sculptor, Bourdelle, in Paris, when she | received the appointment as scuiptor of the New Orleans buildings. *‘Bourdelle always believed in the close co-opera- tion of architecture, art and sculpture,” she said, “and therefore I was delighted when the first big piece of work which I did after returning home was one in which I, as sculptor, was asked to col- laborate in the work of the architeets.” From the stime she started her work in March, 1929, Miss Gregory worked incessantly until its completion about two weeks ago. Heat Causes Discomfort, | “It was terribly hard working in the heat of New Orleans last Summer, but I _managed to survive,” she laughed. “Sometimds the temperature would be as high as a hundred in my studio,” she said, “and I could not use an elec- tric fan for fear it would dry the Pplaster.” After finishing her clay models Miss Gregory cast her models in plaster. ‘These models were sent to Indiana for the limestone castings and to Chatta- nooga for the ones in bronze. Although just at the beginning of her career, the young sculptress has already exihibted in the Salon des Tuileries, Paris; American University Women's Clubs, Paris; Arts and Crafts Club, New Orleans, and Louisiana State ex- hibit of painting and sculpture, when she was awarded first prize for the best | sculptural work; the Montross Galleries, New York, and the national sculpture exhibit, San Prancisco. Miss Gregory graduated from the Newcomb College School of Art in 1925 and was appointed to a acholarship of- MiSS ANGEL fered to a graduate of Newcomb Col- lege by the New York School of Fine and Applied Art to study in Europe. “You know,” Miss Gregory smiled, “I am really very superstitious when it comes to believing in lucky dates. I re- | celved my scholarship which took me o Europe on March 13, 1925, and it was on March 13 just four years later that I started on my big. commission A GREGORY. Miss Gregory never has made exten- sive visits to Washington, and this will |be her first opportunity to study the sculpture and the art works of the city. She expressed herself as very much in- terested in the proposition made by Senator Tydings last year for the es- tablishment of a Federal arts commis- sion and the holding of annual exhibits |in this city of the works of American STAR, WASHINGTON, PROSPERITY TO HOLD INU.
