Text Appearing Before Image: bust that the artisthas so lovingly executed and thatstands always on a pedestal near himin his studio. My mother gets right down to thevital things of life with none of the com-plexities, says Dallin; and we say toourselves, Like mother, like son!for is not this a striking characteristicof the artist himself in his creativework? He once said that his interest in artwas in great simple human feelings;and added: My early life has much todo with this. My love for the majes-tic and sublime is a direct inheritancefrom the mountains. I always feelthem as a living force. Doubtless his dwelling in such inti-mate relation to the Rockies during themost impressionable years of his earlylife did envelop him in an atmos-phere giving his own nature a certainsublimity of poise. One feels thelatter when they meet the man or whenthey study his creative work. When only seven years old he at-tempted to model heads of his favoritechiefs, but he was eighteen before hiswork was thought of unusual promise.
