Saint Gaudens' Lincoln 1927

Editor: This is Otto J. Schneider's "Saint Gaudens' Lincoln," and it looks like a print. It has this quiet, contemplative feel to it. What strikes you about this piece? Curator: The ghost of Saint-Gaudens, for sure! It's fascinating to see how another artist interprets such an iconic statue. Schneider captures Lincoln's gravity, but I sense a personal connection too, a quiet reverence. Do you feel that almost sketched quality adds something? Editor: Definitely. It makes it feel less like a monument and more…human. I hadn't thought about it as an interpretation of an interpretation! Curator: Exactly! It's like a whispered conversation across time and artistic styles. It makes me wonder what Schneider wanted to emphasize, what *he* saw in Lincoln. Editor: This really makes you think about how artists respond to each other. Curator: Indeed! Art is so much more than a single creation, it's a conversation.
