MORE on BLACK PIPE #2 ~ How The SIOUX Brave returned to South Dakota.
Posted by: | Comments
I RECEIVED AN EMAIL on September 24, 2023 FROM:
Kevin James Kirby in California
Dear Mr. Leininger,
Greetings from California. I would like to thank you for your excellent website on the artist Hermon A. MacNeil. I found the information therein both interesting and helpful.
That said, the real reason why I am writing is to alert you to the fact that I am about to sell a
very rare 1894 bronze sculpture of
Black Pipe.
It is only the second presently known to be in existence
(the other being well documentedon your website).
To this, I replied the next morning that I was VERY interested in purchasing this rare MacNeil piece.
Later I received a response from Kevin:
Good morning Mr. Leininger,
Thank you for your reply. And how fortuitous that Black Pipe is so present in your thoughts!
My wife (PhD in art history ) and I (Bachelor of Science in sculpture) are both keen enthusiasts of art and history.
We have read almost all the associated literature, and have discussed this piece with various academics and institutions.
Indeed, Black Pipe’s is an incredible origin story — as is MacNeil’s.
KEVIN WENT ON TO OFFER SOME
VERBAL PROVENANCE OF THE PIECE
As part of our private research, I have also been in direct contact with the
Lakota Sioux Nation at Standing Rock.
I was lucky enough to visit the Reservation in 2020,
and inquire directly about Black Pipe.
There I met an elder who remembered hearing about Black Pipe, who apparently was a member of the Rosebud Reservation, just south of Standing Rock.
However, unfortunately, the timing of the pandemic
necessitated the closure of the reservations, andprevented further research;
and I have been unable to return since.
Needless to say, the story embodied within
this sculpture is close to my heart!
And it is not lightly that I let go this artwork to a new owner.
However, as our private collection grows, it moves in new directions…
So … WE MADE THE TRANSACTION!
Kevin packed up this
“BLACK PIPE THE SIOUX AT SIX TEEN YEARS”
BLACKPIPE THE SIOUX: Carefully packed by Kevin Kirby and ready for shipment to SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota.
NOW … MACNEIL’s 1st bronze ~ BLACKPIPE ~

of bronze works …
They are side by side now.
James Kirby comments:
“Wonderful to see Black Pipe
“in pride of place”
(as my British wife says)
properly ensconced in your
impressive collection!
Thank you for sharing these photos with us.
ALL very happy!“

RE-APPEARANCE of Hermon MacNeil’s 0wn “Personal 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter” ~ Part 2
Posted by: | CommentsThe first Standing Liberty Quarter
struck in 1916 was given to
Hermon A. MacNeil, the designer.
That original “Specimen” minting of the SLQ has
re-emerged in 2022 at an
American Numismatic Association show.

The CoinWeek website reported on March 1, 2022 that:
MacNeil’s Personal 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter appeared at a ANA Money Show
By DFW Coin & Jewelry Center ……
The Standing Liberty quarter was designed by Hermon MacNeil and was minted from 1916 to 1930.
An exciting development at the FUN Convention (Florida United Numismatists) in Orlando earlier this year was the reappearance of MacNeil’s own Standing Liberty quarter, which is reportedly the first one struck. Later, PCGS graded this 1916 quarter as AU-58 and featured the term “MacNeil Specimen” on the label inside the PCGS holder. It will be displayed by the DFW Coin & Jewelry Center at the upcoming ANA National Money Show at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, March 10 to 12.
Kris Oyster of DFW Coin & Jewelry Center purchased this quarter in a Capital Plastics holder at the FUN Convention in January and had it in a PCGS holder at the Long Beach Expo in February. This quarter is accompanied by two documents with notarized signatures, which relate to its provenance since it was received by MacNeil.
Hermon MacNeil was born in 1866 in Massachusetts and died in 1947 in New York. In 1966, a New York City park in College Point, Queens, was named in his honor.
MacNeil’s large works can still be viewed at various public places around the United States. His Pony Express statue in St. Joseph, Missouri, is extremely popular. His trio of statues, Guardians of Liberty, is located at the east pediment of the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, DC. MacNeil’s statue of Ezra Cornell at Cornell University is important to that institution.
The MacNeil sculpture, Intellectual Development, in front of the Patten gymnasium at Northwestern University is very much reminiscent of the female figure of liberty on the Standing Liberty quarter. (Thus, the two MacNeil ‘Ladies’ are posed side by side in the photo above.)
MacNeil presented his own 1916 Standing Liberty quarter to his step-daughter, Dorothy Muenich. She was married to W.H. Schuling.
On August 10, 1962, Schuling’s signature was notarized on a statement that this quarter was the “first of its type off the press.” In addition to a notary, two other people witnessed Schuling sign this document, which was intended to accompany the coin from 1962 on (and still does).
Another notarized document reveals that a collector purchased this Standing Liberty quarter at the 1964 ANA Convention in Cleveland, in front of a dealer from Houston who is named in the document. In addition to the notary, another witness signed this second document, which is recently dated, “December 20, 2021”. There is thus a lineage from Hermon MacNeil to the present.
Kris Oyster, the proprietor of DFW Coin & Jewelry Center, said he “may consider putting the coin up for auction at a later date but wants to enjoy it for the time being as well as displaying it for others to see at coin shows.”
The two notarized documents explained above accompany the coin and will be part of the display.

“Sculptor Americanus”
citing Memories of
Hermon A. MacNeil
by Cecelia W. M. MacNeil
~ Part 2, The Antiques Journal, May 1974 ~
Cecelia MacNeil credits the following statement to Adolph Block:
“… all that Hermon Atkins MacNeil
lacks
to acquire fame
is a good biographer.”
Adolph Block should know. He too was a sculptor. (more)
He studied sculpture with Hermon MacNeil, and Alexander Stirling Calder, both of whom sculpted the two George Washington statues on the Arch. He studied also with Edward McCartan, another student and studio assistant of Hermon MacNeil. At the time that Cecelia credits the above quote, Mr. Block was then the editor of The National Sculpture Review, a post he held for many years.
Jo Davidson’s portrait bust of Hermon draped in MacNeil Tartan. This unique piece was made in 1945 at Hermon’s home then cast in bronze.
Block also wrote of Hermon — words that Cecelia quotes saying: “Adolph Block captured Hermon’s spirit in The National Sculpture Review, writing of him with love (a consistent feeling of all who knew Hermon):
“His youth was spent on his father’s farm in fundamental, frugal, and beautiful New England. In his veins flowed the same kind of blood that pumped through the hearts of Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott, love of life and a vivid imagination born of Scotland’s bonnie brooks, green hills, and rugged rocky shores.
Handsome, he possessed a warm heart, a dry sense of humor, a great talent, the courage of his convictions, and tremendous drive. Ambitious and industrious, his large eyes were a tornado of activity — he studied, he taught, he created, in whatever order opportunity presented itself. 2
In the second of these articles, Cecelia begins by describing the June day in 1943 when Hermon began dictating his AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH to his secretary.
“My memories and reminiscences of Hermon are still pure and unprecipitated (sic) by chemicals, as his sculptures have become.” She adds: “I was nursing him through a prolonged attack of tachycardia. He was feeling much better and was in a jovial mood.” Cecelia MacNeil, June 1971; (AJ-2, p.28)

Cecelia Weick Muench, R.N.
Home Care Nurse
Years before Cecelia W. Muench became Cecelia MacNeil she was the Home Care Nurse not only for Carol Brooks MacNeil, but also for Hermon MacNeil.
This was revealed in the TIMELINE drawn from evidence in her three articles series “Sculptor Americanus.” 1,2,3
The following Facts are reported in these articles:
- Cecelia was present in the MacNeil home for conversations with Hermon MacNeil.
- Hermon called his secretary, Marie Mutschler, into the room to take notes.
- The next four pages of the May 1974 article by Cecelia describe Hermon as he told stories of his life.
In my research at the Cornell Library Archives, the “MacNeil Papers” contain an eleven page typed document entitled “AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH – HERMON ATKINS MACNEIL”:
- The voice narrating this document is that of Hermon MacNeil.
- On page 11, he ends his Autobiography with two sentences saying:
“In short, I feel that I have had a very fortunate life, living as someone said on ‘THE GOLDEN AGE OF SCULPTURE’. As I write this in June, 1943, with the world in a terrific struggle it would seem to be true enough for my span of life will not last for the next revival of sculpture.”
Here Hermon closes his Autobiographical Sketch.

MacNeil Month 2022 ~ Week 1 ~ Cecelia MacNeil’s alarm for the Washington Arch in 1974.
Posted by: | CommentsTwenty-seven years after Hermon MacNeil’s death, Cecelia Weick MacNeil, his second-wife, wrote a series of three articles which she entitled:
“Sculptor Americanus:
HERMON ATKINS MACNEIL”
Cecelia MacNeil, RN (1945). Born Cecelia Weick in 1897. She served as a nurse in WWI in the European theater. She married Karl Weick in about 1920.
Cecelia opens the first of three articles with memories of her 12th Birthday in 1909.
Born in 1897, Cecelia Weick told the story of first the day that she ever heard the name of “Hermon Atkins MacNeil”
NOTE: Thirty-seven years later … Hermon would ask her to marry him.
As a birthday surprise, her father took her to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ascending into the American Wing, they sat down on a bench near MacNeil’s sculpture group of “The Sun Vow.” Sixty-four years later, Cecelia described their visit to that sculpture this way:
Owen Schweers, my own grandson, in front of “The Sun Vow” that Cecelia Weick and her father saw on her 12th Birthday. He visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City about 110 Years after Cecelia. That particular casting of MacNeil’s statue was placed there by Daniel Chester French.
“The Sun Vow portrays two Indians, elder and younger, chief and future brave, grandfather and grandson. The grandfather, his body still subtle and strong, is weary just the same. The viewer knows that the chieftain’s feathered head-dress … will never again be worn. The old Indian holds this symbol of authority on his lap as he presses the young Indian to him. The grandchild holds an arrowless bow, symbolizing the celebration of coming of age in the in Indian lore but transcending the culture of any age. For when the young brave is able to shoot an arrow into the son, far enough away so that its decent to earth passes unseen, then he has attained manhood.
After at least five minutes of silence my father commented.
‘Ceil, the man who created this work is surely one of the greatest American Sculptors. Never, never forget his name.’
I am still a romantic. My father’s words were to be part of my destiny. 37 years later I married Hermon Atkins MacNeil.”
Sculptor AMERICANUS
CECELIA opened her first of three articles with those memories of her 12th Birthday. Continuing, she describes her sculptor, hero, and sunset-partner with the following phrases:
The Sculptor:
- MODESTY was so much a part of Hermon MacNeil
- Will my words of praise cause his spirit to stir ?
- Will my words cause his truly American soul to BLUSH?
- A successful bronze gives the sculptor a few steps toward immortality.
- A Creator of Memorials, Coins and Medals
- Time has made almost Hermon a forgotten American type …
- an extinct species
- whose works are ravaged by time, corrosion, spoilage …
- Hermon loved sculpting American Indians in their naturalness and beauty.
- Cecelia cites Jean Stansbury Holden’s description of Hermon in 1907 as:
- a boyish, slender, medium height, with large eyes that meet you with a twinkle …
- a serious sculptor when working …
- without pretense of his accomplishments …
- When keeps his medals from:
- Chicago Exposition – 1893;
- Paris Exposition – 1900
- Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, NY – 1901
- Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St Louis – 1904
- and numerous others …
- IN DRAWERS in his studio, and rubs off some of the tarnish before showing them
- TRULY without Pretension or POMP.
AMERICANUS:
Quoting Jean Stansbury Holden she adds,
“While his work shows this variety in subject and treatment, one quality runs through it all; Whatever he touches is, in its very essence American; it smacks of the soil.” 1
Mrs. MacNeil then suggests:
“American history can be studied by totaling up Hermon’s works. This can be seen by mentioning a mere scattering of examples — The Pony Express, McKinley, The Pilgrim Fathers, Pere Marquette, Ezra Cornell, George Rogers Clark, the eastern pediment of the United States Supreme Court Building — and the most familiar and relevant of all, the marble of Washington as Commander-in-Chief, which along with Stirling Calder’s figure of Washington as President, graces Stanford White’s Washington Arch in Greenwich Village. (bold added).
Source: Cecelia MacNeil with Dr. Allen Nestle. “Sculptor Americanus: Hermon Atkins MacNeil”. (First in a Series of Three), The Antiques Journal, April 1974, p. 54.
BUT then Cecelia sounded a shrill alarm for the Washington Arch. Pointing out 1974 photos showing decades of decay. Air pollution. traffic (Cars, buses) traveled through the arch for over 75 years. Cleaning by abrasive sandblasting and eroded the soft marble of both statues by MacNeil and Calder.
Figure 6 shows the toll on MacNeil’s statue of Washington’s pitted face.
She writes:
“Washington’s nose has been carelessly damaged by thoughtless sandblasting (figure 6). Sandblasting marble! Now th first President resembles a leper. Aldolph Block, former student of Hermon, reknowned (sic) president of the National Sculpture Society (as Hermon was on two different occasions) despairs over the disaster to this historical landmark. Smog from the air, vandalism, time, such factors can be expected. But destruction such as Washington has suffered, accidental as it may have been, seems all too contemporary.”
Over the years Cecelia MacNeil wrote many letters to the responsible officials seemingly hopeless battle.” Her complaints as well as Mr. Block’s were “for all intents and purposes, ignored.
Cecelia shares her familiarity with her late partner by suggesting:
1916 Photo of the installation of the MacNeil statue. Thia appears to have the statue sitting in the right hand leg of the Arch. The left leg is where it was permanently installed.

“One can NOT imagine Hermon and his fellow sculptors ignoring Washington’s face. In no time at all a group of them, most of whom worked with Hermon, would have a scaffold up. A roster would include (Phillip) Martiny, Daniel Chester French, Augustus St. Gaudens, Alexander Stirling Calder, giants all. I can see Hermon chewing on a small cigar, making jokes.”
