After surviving four years at the raucus High School of Art and Design in NYC and World War II on the Anzio beachhead in Italy, I spent 3 ½ years at the Art Students League thanks to the G.I. Bill. After a short time at some advertising agencies, a position at NBC-TV’s Graphic Arts Department emerged and I worked there for the next 12 years, leaving as its head. I then formed a company making mirrors and decorative accessories in my basement. This enterprise proved very successful and a large lighting company was anxious to acquire it. I then designed products for them and many other large firms. During all these years my real passion was making sculpture, and I spent every moment I could on this work. The sculpture I have submitted is called “The Oscar for Torturers!” In my fantasy world I would like to present it to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld. It is 27 in. tall carved in wood and covered in a zinc/lead metal alloy.
