Prizeman Sidney B. Waugh, 25, a sculptor, has an enormous brow, a tiny mustache. Hailing from Amherst, Mass., he has studied at Amherst College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rome, Fontainebleau. For the last three years he has practiced sculpture in Paris, obtaining an honorable mention in the Paris Salon, modeling a war memorial for Kemmel, Belgium. He is fascinated by the burly stevedores who labor along the Seine. One of these solidly planted fellows posed for Steel which won the Prix de Rome.
Prizeman John M. Sitton, 22, a painter, comes from Greenville, S. C. He has been studying at the Yale School of Fine Arts, which has turned out five successive Prix de Rome men in the 35 years the awards have been established. He holds medals from the Beaux Arts Institute, the National Academy of Design, has paid much of his tuition by working as a waiter. His painting Flight from Earth is a symbolic composition of draped figures soaring above things mundane.
The annual Prix de Rome awards in architecture and landscape architecture will shortly be announced. Award dates differ by circumstance, not intention. After next year the landscape award will be made only in alternate years.
