Paul Manship3 languagesToolsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaPaul ManshipManship in 1941BornPaul Howard Manship
December 24, 1885
St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S.DiedJanuary 28, 1966(aged80)
New York, style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;\">Paul Howard Manship(December 24, 1885 – January 28, 1966) was an Americansculptor. He consistently created mythological pieces in a classical style, and was a major force in theArt Decomovement. He is well known for his large public commissions, including the iconicPrometheusin Rockefeller Center[1]and theCelestial Sphere Woodrow Wilson Memorialin Geneva, Switzerland. He is also credited for designing the modern rendition ofNew York City\'s official seal.[2]

Manship gained notice early in his career for rejecting theBeaux-Arts architecturemovement and preferring linear compositions with a flowing simplicity. Additionally, he shared a summer home inPlainfield, New Hampshire, part of theCornish Art Colony, withWilliam Zorachfor a number of years. Other members of the highly social colony were also contemporary artists.[3]Manship created his own artist retreat on Cape Ann, developing a 15-acre site on two former granite quarries in Lanesville, a village of Gloucester, MA. A local nonprofit, theManship Artists Residency + Studioswas established in 2015 to preserve this estate as an artist residency program.

LifeCycle of Life, 1924, Phillips Academy, Andover, MassachusettsEarly life and education

Paul Howard Manship was born inSt. Paul, Minnesota, on December 24, 1885, the son of Charles H. and Mary Etta (Friend) Manship. His father, born in Mississippi, was a clerk for the St. Paul gas company, and with his wife, who was born in Pennsylvania, were parents of seven children. Charles and Mary were married in St. Paul, on July 14, 1870, and raised their family in a home they owned at 304 Nelson (later Marshall) Avenue. Paul H. Manship began his art studies at the St. Paul School of Art inMinnesota. From there he moved to Philadelphia and continued his education at thePennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Following that he migrated to New York City where he enrolled in theArt Students League of New York, studying anatomy withGeorge Bridgmanand modeling underHermon Atkins MacNeil. From 1905 to 1907 he served as an assistant to sculptorSolon Borglumand spent the two years after that studying withCharles Graflyand assistingIsidore Konti.

In 1909, at Konti\'s urging, he entered the competition for, and won, theRome Prizeand shortly thereafter decamped for Rome where he attended theAmerican Academyfrom 1909 until 1912. While in Europe he became increasingly interested in Archaic art, his own work began to take on some archaic features, and he became more and more attracted to classical subjects. He also developed an interest in classical sculpture ofIndia, and traces of that influence can be observed in his work (seeDancer and GazellesinGallery). Manship was one of the first artists to become aware of the vast scope of art history being newly excavated at the time and became intensely interested in Egyptian, Assyrian and pre-classical Greek sculpture.

CareerPrometheus, 1934,Rockefeller Center, New York City

When he returned to America from his European sojourn, Manship found that his style was attractive to both modernists and conservatives. His simplification of line and detail appealed to those who wished to move beyond the Beaux-Arts classical realism prevalent in the day. Also, his view of and use of a more traditional \"beauty\" as well as an avoidance of the more radical and abstract trends in art made his works attractive to more conservative art collectors. Manship\'s work is often considered to be a major precursor toArt Deco.

Manship produced over 700 works and always employed assistants of the highest quality. At least two of them,Gaston LachaiseandLeo Friedlander, went on to create significant places for themselves in the history of American sculpture.

Although not known as a portraitist, he did produce statues and busts ofTheodore Roosevelt,Samuel Osgood,John D. Rockefeller,Robert Frost,Gifford BealandHenry L. Stimson. Manship was very adept at low relief and used these skills to produce a large number of coins and medals. Among his more prominent are the Dionysus medal, the second issue of the long runningSociety of Medalists; the first term inaugural medal forFranklin D. Roosevelt; and theJohn F. Kennedyinaugural medal. Additionally, during WW II he designed the U. S. Merchant Marine\'s Distinguished Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal and Mariner\'s Medal.

Manship was chosen by theAmerican Battle Monuments Commissionto create monuments following both the First and Second World Wars. They are located respectively in the American Cemetery atThiaucourt,Francein 1926, and in the military cemetery atAnzio,Italy. His work was also part of the art competitions at the1928 Summer Olympicsand the1932 Summer Olympics.[4]

Affiliations and awards

For a number of summers early in his career, Manship found social and artistic companionship inPlainfield, New Hampshire, then part of theCornish Art Colony, which attracted sculptors such asAugustus Saint-Gaudens,Herbert Adams,Daniel Chester French, andWilliam Zorach. He visited first in 1915, returned the next three years, and then returned again a decade later. This period in his life has been recognized as significant, and Harry Rand observed that \"Manship recognized 1916 as the year of his artistic maturity...[he] seemed to express modern ideas in terms of the primitive.[5]

Manship served on the board of theSmithsonian American Art Museumand chaired the board. Manship was affiliated with theNational Academy of Design, theNational Sculpture Society, and theAmerican Academy of Arts and Letters. He served on theU.S. Commission of Fine Artsfrom 1937 to 1941. His many honors include a Pierpont Morgan fellowship, aWidener Gold Medalfrom the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Golden Plate Award of theAmerican Academy of Achievement,[6]and the award of Chevalier from the FrenchLegion of Honor.[7]Manship\'s extensive papers, maquettes and sculptures are housed in the Smithsonian\'sArchives of American Art. In 2004 the Smithsonian mounted a retrospective of Manship\'s career which resulted in a reappraisal of the sculptor\'s work.

There is a gallery dedicated to the display of Manship\'s work at theSmithsonian American Art Museum.[citation needed]

Manship was father of the artist John Paul Manship (1927–2000).[citation needed]
