Arthur Putnam : ウィキペディア英語版 | Arthur Putnam Arthur Putnam (September 6, 1873 – 1930) was an American sculptor and animalier〔Proske, Beatrice Gilman, ''Brookgreen Gardens Sculpture'', Brookgreen Gardens, SC, 1943 p. xxix〕 who was recognized for his bronze sculptures of wild animals. Some of his artworks are now public monuments. He was a well-known figure, both statewide and nationally, during the time he lived in California. Putnam was regarded as an artistic genius in San Francisco and his life was chronicled in the San Francisco and East Bay newspapers.〔Laura Bride Powers, ''Artistic Genius of the West Leaves for Paris Next Week'', Oakland Tribune, May 23, 1921.〕 He won a Gold Medal at the 1915 San Francisco world's fair, officially known as the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and was responsible for large sculptural works that still stand in San Francisco and San Diego. Putnam exhibited at the Armory Show in 1913, and his works were also exhibited in New York, Chicago, Paris, and Rome. ==Early life== Putnam was born on September 6, 1873, in Waveland, Mississippi, whilst his family was traveling. He had an older brother, George, born in New Orleans, and a younger sister, Clara Elizabeth, born in Mississippi. Their father, Oramel Hinkley Putnam (1841–1880), was a civil engineer from Vermont〔Dates verified on the Ancestry.com web site〕 and served in the Union Army during the Civil War. Oramel Putnam was a railroad worker, and the family frequently relocated during the sculptor's early years. The Putnams eventually settled in Omaha, Nebraska, for an extended time whilst Putnam was growing up; Putnam enjoyed drawing animals and modeling them in clay during this period. He experienced a serious accident as a child, falling forty feet out of a tree and receiving a head injury.〔Jeffrey Morseburg, ''Arthur Putnam: The Trials, Tragedy and Triumphs of a California Sculptor'', page 4〕 In 1899 Putnam married and moved permanently to San Francisco, employed as an assistant to Rupert Schmid,〔Radford, Warren and Georgia, ‘’Outdoor Sculpture in San Francisco: A Heritage of Public Art’’, Helsham Press, Gualala, CA, 2002, p. 59〕 working primarily as a sculptor of architectural sculpture.
