Milles' fancy is not every man's taste. Though traditional, he is not traditional enough to keep some from ridiculing his exaggeratedly lean figures. One St. Louis art commission member thought Milles' The Meeting of the Waters (above) looked like "a wedding in a nudist colony." Modernists have found Milles wanting in imagination to move beyond the aura of Rodin, and lacking in Rodin's great power. For his part Milles sees little to praise in modern sculpture.

Avery's respect for Barr rose at the way he masterminded Ward's fight against the War Labor Board, which included the famed carrying-out of Avery by the Army.
