...with fine wine, which he marketed under the name of Vin Mariani. Mariani collected endorsements from Popes Leo XIII and Pius X, President McKinley and the Kings of Spain, Greece, and Norway and Sweden, as well as such literary luminaries as Jules Verne, Alexandre Dumas and Emile Zola. French Sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, designer of the Statue of Liberty, swore that if he had only savored Vin Mariani earlier, he would have built the old girl hundreds of meters higher...
...scale, scope, curatorial intelligence and the intensity of the vision it discloses, "Rodin Rediscovered"-an exhibition of some 400 sculptures, drawings and photographs that opened last week at Washington's National Gallery-may be the most impressive tribute an American museum has ever offered to a 19th century sculptor. Drawn from collections all over the world, but mainly from the Musée Rodin in Paris, the show is to sculpture, in effect, what the Museum of Modern Art's 1977 Cézanne exhibition was to painting: a means of making us see afresh the processes...

Even though most of the pictures were printed directly...
...Bambridge work gang is no ordinary group of hardhats. Explains Poni Baptiste, 28, a black sculptor from nearby Harlem: "For those of us in the valley, the cathedral was the castle on the hill. I saw my friends killed by overdoses and by the cops. I wanted to be involved in social art. I love coming here. I can't leave any stone unresolved." Like medieval apprentices, Poni's fellow workers range in age from 20 to 35. Most came from the ghetto and have some interest in art. A few gave up good jobs to join...
