Francis Edwin Elwell (also cited as Frank Edwin Elwell; June 15, 1858, in Concord, Massachusetts – January 23, 1922, in Darien, Massachusetts) was an American sculptor, teacher, and author.

He lectured on art at Harvard University, and taught modeling at the National Academy of Design[1] and the Art Students League of New York.[2] He served as Curator of Sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art until he was ousted in 1905,[3] and wrote one of the first, though unpublished, histories of American sculpture.[4]

Elwell established an early reputation as a sculptor of portrait busts, but also became known for major works, funereal and military monuments, and architectural sculptures. His most famous work is probably Dickens and Little Nell (1890).

Biography

[edit]

Early life

[edit]

Elwell was the son and only child of John Wesley Elwell and Clara Farrar, of Concord, Massachusetts.[5] He was orphaned at age 4, and raised by his maternal grandparents, Elisha Jones Farrar and Elizabeth Chase Barnay. His grandfather was a blacksmith, whom Elwell assisted at the forge.[6] The Farrars were friendly with several illustrious neighbors: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and the Alcott family.[4]

He attended Concord public schools, and received his first art instruction privately from Abigail May Alcott, who had also been an early teacher of sculptor Daniel Chester French.[7] Her sister, writer Louisa May Alcott, took an interest in both students.

As a teenager, Elwell assisted French (eight years his senior) in the sculptor's Concord studio,[4] and later shared a studio with him in New York City.[7] Elwell studied at the school of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.[6] With financial backing from French, the Alcotts, and other Boston patrons, Elwell traveled to Paris in 1881.[4] Following a recommendation from the U.S. Minister to France, Levi P. Morton, he was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in May 1882.[1] He matriculated after a year,[4] and studied privately in the studio of his École teacher, Alexandre Falguière.[6] Elwell then studied architecture at the Royal Art School in Ghent, Belgium, and was awarded a silver medal by King Leopold in 1884.[4]

Elwell married fellow American art student Molina Mary Hilbreth in Paris.[1] They returned to Massachusetts in 1885,[4] and their twin sons were born there in 1886.

Career

[edit]

For several years, Elwell lectured on art at Harvard University.[5] He taught modeling at the school of the National Academy of Design, 1886–1887,[1] then at the Art Students League of New York.[2] He found early success in modeling and carving portrait busts and minor works.

His first major commission came in 1886 from Mrs. Frederik Hendrik Pont, a Dutch philanthropist, for a sculpture to mark her late husband's grave.[1] The widow chose Elwell on recommendations by Dutch painter Hendrik Dirk Kruseman van Elten and American sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward.[1] Carved in marble, Death of Strength (1888) depicted a dying lion watched over by an angel. It was placed in the churchyard of St. Nicholaaskerk, in Edam, Netherlands, becoming "the first American-made statue to be installed on European soil."[4]

Dickens and Little Nell

[edit]
Main article: Dickens and Little Nell (Elwell)

Elwell's most celebrated work is likely his 1891 sculptural grouping of Charles Dickens and Nell Trent, a character from the author's 1840-41 novel The Old Curiosity Shop. It won a gold medal from the Art Club of Philadelphia in 1891[8] and two gold medals at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893.[9] The New York Times wrote, "Among the art exhibits of this country at the World's Fair, probably no particular example has attracted more popular interest than the sculptural memorial to Charles Dickens, the work of Mr. F. Edwin Elwell, a young artist".[10]

Lorado Taft wrote in his 1903 book The History of American Sculpture:

In his "Dickens and Little Nell" the sculptor has given us that rare thing,—a portrait statue which makes an emotional appeal. To be sure, its dramatic power is due to a secondary figure, as is the case in Mr. French's "Gallaudet," but the use of such a figure is legitimate when it detracts nothing from the effect of the principal, but rather enhances it, and when it is in itself as charming in conception as is Mr. Elwell's "Little Nell."[6]: 415 

1901 Pan-American Exposition

[edit]
Kronos (1901), Fountain sculpture for the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, New York.

Elwell created three heroic-sized sculptures for the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. Kronos and Ceres faced each other across the pool of the West Esplanade Fountain; and Intelligence had the place of honor before the south portico of the New York State Building (now the Albright-Knox Art Gallery).[11] Elwell exhibited two bronzes in the Art Gallery, Egypt Awakening and Dancing Girl, and was awarded a bronze medal for them.[12]

His twin sons entered Harvard University in 1906, and Elwell donated his plaster model of Kronos:

At the reception to Freshmen in the Union last night, a statue of "Kronos," designed by F. E. Elwell, and presented to the Union by A. F. Elwell '10 and S. B. Elwell '10, was unveiled in the southwest corner of the Living Room. Mr. W. C. Lane '81, Librarian of the University, announced the gift and briefly described its significance.
The statue is a plaster model of a colossal figure exhibited at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo in 1901. Kronos is represented with out-stretched wings, symbolic of the apparently swift flight of time, but standing on the back of a turtle, as significant of its slow progress. The face is covered with a veil, emblematic of mystery.[13]

Personal

[edit]

On October 30, 1882, Elwell and Molina Mary Hildreth (1847-1932), of Cambridge, Massachusetts, were married in Paris.[1] They returned to the United States in 1885, and the following year she bore twin sons: Alcott Farrar Elwell (1886-1962) and Stanley Bruce Elwell (1886-1936). Louisa May Alcott was godmother to Alcott Elwell.

Elwell presented a bust of Louisa May Alcott to the University of Kansas in 1900:

Miss Alcott was so much my friend, and had so much to do in forming my character that I would have been most ungrateful had I not sought to honor her memory when the opportunity was afforded, as it came in an invitation to furnish a bust for the University of Kansas. … [Presented] as a loving tribute to the memory of a grand woman whose friendship was so helpful, and whose writings have tended to ennoble and elevate the lives of thousands of American boys and girls.[14]

Frank and Molina Elwell separated around 1908, and their 1911 divorce was highly publicized.[4]

Elwell lived for a time in Orange, New Jersey, and then for many years lived and sculpted at 12 Hudson Place in Weehawken, New Jersey, overlooking the Hudson River.[5]

He moved to Darien, Connecticut, in 1920. Elwell died there on January 23, 1922, while waiting for a streetcar. The city flew its flags at half-mast.[5]
