Description
Excerpt from The Art Life of William Rimmer: Sculptor, Painter, and Physician
York as the director of the School of Design for Women at the Cooper Institute.
Of his origin nothing whatever was learned, either by his friends or the public; and outside of his family - circle little was known of his life or his strug gles, even by his immediate friends.
His plaster statue of the falling gladiator,'' when in 1861 it was first shown at his house in East Milton, and soon after in Boston, was pronounced a remarkable work, and its author a modern Michael Angelo. But neither this work, nor the st. Stephen, which was produced a year earlier, gained at that time the place in public esteem which they merited; and, after a temporary suc cess, both sank into undeserved obscurity.
