In 1940, the boy's promise came
to the attention of Samuel Cash-
wan, Detroit sculptor, who adopt-
ed Schwartz as a protege.
Twenty-six-year-old Schwartz,
who in his early boyhood was a'
special charge of the Jewish I
Child Placement Bureau, of Fresh!
Air Camp and of the Jewish
.Community Center, was award-
ed a Guggenheim Fellowship of
$2.500 for "creative work in the
field of sculpture,• and is now
studying in France.
He left for Europe in July, fol-
lowing a successful one-man show
which critics hailed as containing!
"abundant evidence of technical!
sensibility and imagination," so
that "at the very minimum, one
enthusiastically agrees with those
judges who recently awarded him
a Guggenheim Fellowship."

SHOW ACCLAIMED
UPON IIIS DISCHARGE from
service, Schwartz attended Ober-
lin College and then Black Moun-
tain College, where he majored
in philosophy.
In '1946 he went to Paris to
study sculpture under the G.I.
Bill and had his first show in the
Paris galleries of Billiet Caprito,
in December, 1948, an event that
was hailed as an outstanding suc-
cess by the Paris staff of the New
York Herald Tribune.
I Schwartz' career to date was
climaxed with his show in New
York in May and art critics are
looking forward to even finer
work from him after he has had
the opportunity to devote full
time to his work for a year, be-
cause of the Guggenheim Fellow-
, ship.
