Museum Work: The new realism is seen in the pathetic bronze Boxer in the Naples museum work, in the bronze Hellenistic Rider in Rome (a full-length portrait in the nude), and in many genre (subjects from everyday life) works, such as the Old Market Woman in the Metropolitan museum work and the Boy with a Goose in the Capitoline museum work, Rome. Also realistic is the Dying Gaul, Capitoline museum work, a copy of a work from the school of Pergamum, a city-state in Asia Minor. A later work from Pergamum, the Altar of Zeus, combined the heroic proportions of Phidias with an intensification of the emotional qualities of Scopas. The Laocoon group also is in much the same spirit.The United States, excellent firearms col-may be viewed at the Springfield (Mass.) museum work; West Point (N.

'amera 1948, revealed Riis as a photographer of im-ortance. |
