About the Item

This is a bust of Moses shown carrying two stone Decalogues after the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. The piece has a wonderful natural carved appearance that brings out Moses's countenance and attire. Arnold Henry Bergier (1914-2007) * A sculptor, collagist, and caricaturist; his sculptures include portraits from life of prominent persons, works for synagogues and churches, and public buildings. Bergier sang in the Metropolitan Opera chorus as a young man and in 1938 he went to Paris where he studied art with Camilo Egas, Robert Gwathmey and others, returning to the Village after the outbreak of World War II. He joined the Navy and served in the Pacific on an L.S.T. landing craft and later transferred to Admiral Nimitz's staff as an artist and photographer. After his return to Greenwich Village in New York, he was commissioned in 1950 to sculpt a bust of Albert Einstein. In the 1950s he was active in the "Save the Village" historic preservation campaign. He was also an active member of the American Movement for World Government, Veterans for Peace, and a lifetime member of Veterans of Foreign Wars. In the 1950s he designed the Hannukah Menorah and the decor around the Torak Ark for the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation Temple. Artists' signature and date are impressed in the back near the base.
