Homer Saint-Gaudens

Portrait of Homer Saint-Gaudens and his mother by John Singer Sargent, 1890.

Homer Schiff Saint-Gaudens (1880–1953) was the only child of sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his wife Augusta (née Homer). He served as the director of the Art Museum of the Carnegie Institute and was a founder of the Saint-Gaudens Memorial, a non-profit organization that maintained the family home as a museum before its donation to the National Park Service in 1965.

Saint-Gaudens was instrumental in the formation of the American Camouflage Corps in 1917; another leader was Saint-Gaudens' roommate at Harvard, Barry Faulkner. With the unit formalized as Company A of the 40th Engineers, Saint-Gaudens commanded the Corps as Captain when they sailed to Europe on January 4, 1918, and deployed to battlefield service.

In 1905, he married Carlota Dolley, a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and later a painter of miniatures. They had three children: Augustus, Carlota, and Harold. Saint-Gaudens was featured on the cover of Time magazine for its 12 May 1924 edition, in connection with his direction and promotion of the annual Carnegie International art exhibition.
