Sculpture by Moses W. Dykaar
A Memorial Exhibition of Sculpture by Moses W. Dykaar opened at the Brooklyn Museum March 15th and will continue through April 15th, Dykaar's career came to a tragic end in 1933 but before his death a great number of the leading personalities in this country had sat to him for portrait busts. The exhibition is largely made up of these portraits. Among those thus represented are: Edwin Markem, the poet; Sarnuel Gompers; Dr. Frederick B. Robinson, President of the College of the City of New York; Dr. John Finley; Alexander Graham Bell; Charles Evans Hughes; Rabbi Stephen Wise; Sir Rabindranath Tagore, Indian poet; Calvin Coolidge, and General John J. Pershing.
Although these represent but a small number of this type of work of the sculpture, they represent clearly his facility in the traditional vein of portrait sculpture.
