...family to Howard County in 1819. Left fatherless at the age of twelve he worked as an apprentice cabinet maker and cigar roller, turned to painting as a profession when he met an Eastern artist named Chester Harding who had gone out to the frontier to paint the portrait of the aging Daniel Boone. A severe attack of measles left Bingham as bald as an egg at the age of 19. For the rest of his life he wore a succession of handsomely curled wigs.

Left high by the receding dollar, he avoided Paris, ran a studio in the Maritime Alps, never copied Parisian sculptors. Last week he received guarded praise from New York...
...Marie Harriman Gallery in Manhattan this week went shapes in polished nickel, bronze, marble, wood and plaster, the latest exhibition of the works of able young Isamu Noguchi, son of a Japanese father, a U. S. mother. The show contained the usual Noguchi melange of clever portrait heads, elaborate abstractions, projects for impossible architectural developments. In the latter manner was a strange triangular something called Monument to the Plow...
