Hahlo-138, Creation

Peter A. Juley & Son Collection, Photograph Archives, Smithsonian American Art Museum, J0123348.

138. Creation. Bronze and Marble.

In a Brooklyn Daily Eagle review of the National Arts Club exhibition immediately following this show (May 8-June 1, 1912) the reviewer says “’Creation’ is a strong man’s head and figure.” This could be a response to the relief that appears in an image in Juley Archive at the Smithsonian, which depicts a creator-figure filling the heavens with planets.
