The Art of Naoum Aronson Naoum Aronson was born at Kreslavka, Russia, in 1872, but has lived in Paris for the past thirty years. At the age of fourteen he was already attracting attention with his work. He has never been to school; has never had a master; and has developed his art, so far as it is humanly possible, from within. He has been called the greatest individualist among modern Russian sculptors. In his work is shown a complete and unfaltering devotion to art, combined with virtuosity and intelligence. N. Aronson finds his chief inspiration in men of genius and children; his Dante, Turgenev, Beethoven, Chopin, Tolstoi are masterpieces. He is an indefatigable worker and studies his subject for months before touching the clay. He spent eight months with Tolstoi before beginning his bust. The picture above shows the sculptor in a corner of his studio. The center bust is of Pasteur; the French Government plans to place it near the little village in the Jura Mountains, where the great savant and humanitarian was born Page Sixteen
