Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Art and Archaeology, Vol. 6
Niehaus is possessed of an intense love for mythological and classical themes. His Cestus, his Athlete with the Scraper, both in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and his Neptune Foun tain Figure, are among the best exam ples of his treatment of the classic theme. Even in his man with the drill commemorating the discovery of oil at Titusville, Pa., we have a nude figure instinct with classic spirit and yet mod em in the very best sense. One cannot contemplate any of these works with out realizing that in them we have the same feeling which inspired the artists of Old Hellas, still alive in our own day.
