for Philip Martiny
1858 - 1927
Philip Martiny began his career as a sculptor in his native Strasbourg. In the early 1880s he moved to New York, where he worked for Karl Bitter and then for Augustus Saint-Gaudens, helping the latter artist with his sculpture The Puritan (1883-86, Springfield, Mass.) Martiny, along with Frederick MacMonnies, accompanied Saint-Gaudens to Cornish, New Hampshire, when the master established his permanent studio there.
Working independently, Martiny executed decorations for McKim, Mead and White's Agricultural Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago; the Fountain of Abundance for the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, New York (1901); a quadriga and other major works for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, Saint Louis (1904); figures for the interior of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, Jersey City, New Jersey; [date?] and a number of works for New York's Hall of Records.
The painter's daughter, Sara Dodge Kimbrough, wrote that this portrait of Martiny was shown at Durand-Ruel Gallery in New York around 1904.
