EDGAR WALTER. PRIMITIVE MAN

Primitive Man. Artist: Edgar Walter (American, San Francisco, California 1877-1938 San Francisco, California
). Dimensions: 13 1/2 x 15 x 15 in. (34.3 x 38.1 x 38.1 cm). Date: ca. 1902-3, cast ca. 1905.
In this richly textured depiction of a muscular youth lifting a protesting bear cub by the scruff of its neck, Walter refers to man's evolutionary superiority over beast. In this case, man dominates, even in his baser state, as indicated by the rudimentary loincloth and headdress. This theme was popular with turn-of-the-twentieth-century French and American sculptors responding to contemporary interest in natural selection and evolutionary principles following the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species in 1859.
