AVARD FAIRBANKS, Utah's gifted boy sculptor, has just completed a portrait statuette of Richard Knight, the 5-year-old son of J. William Knight of Provo. Young Mr. Fairbanks remained at the Knight home and made the sculpture froih life. The youngster did not poso, but was portrayed by the sculptor as he was at play at his home. The studies of child life of the youthful sculptor are attracting even more attention than his wonderful stud ies of animal life. His study of Mary Pierpont of New York has been admitted ad-mitted to the Academy of Fine Arts and is now on exhibition at the exposition expo-sition in San Francisco. Mr?. T. B. Lewis of New York saw the Pierpont study at the exposition and came to Salt" Lake to meet Avard Fairbanks and to give him a commission to go to New York to make a portrait statuette statu-ette of her child. Recently the young sculptor has received re-ceived offers to go tu New York and Chicago as an art instructor. He has not fullv decided whether he will accept ac-cept either offer. He is eagerly hoping for an end of the European war that he mav go to France to eompletp his studies, which were suddenly interrupted inter-rupted by the conflict. |
