About the Item

In this Menorah Chaim Hendin takes a personal approach, and turns it into a more anatomical, almost pelvic, looking piece of artwork. The sculpture is rich in texture and the candle holders have a vertebrae look to them. The Menorah is placed on a marble pedestal. HAIM HENDIN - Israeli-Russian artist Born in Riga, Latvia in 1920. Graduated from Art school of Riga. In 1949 he was appointed manager of the Latvian National Sculptures and Ornamentation in the Kremlin. In 1964 together with the famous Czech sculptor, Alexander Trezulak won the privilege of making the largest handmade sculpture in the Kremlin depicting the joy of childhood. Hendin immigrated to Israel in 1965. Immediately after his arrival, Hendin was acquainted with Sam Dubiner, owner of Israel Gallery in Tel-Aviv. Haim Hendin met Itzchak Danziger through Sam Dubiner, and Danziger offered him a job translating his ideas into Sculptures. Hendin used a room in the Danziger family's hospital in Tel-Aviv as a workshop. Under the guidance of Danziger, Hendin made the 'Big King of Shepherds' and the 'Small King of Shepherds'. Works: Krushchev's summer house; Russian State Monuments; a number of works in the Kremlin. Lives in U.S.A.
