Zvi Hirsch Masliansky
1856 - 1943

Zviah Nardi

Zvi Hirsch Masliansky was born in 1856 in the city of Slutsk, Lithuania, then part of the Jewish “Pale of Settlement” in the Russian Czarist Empire. The city was an important center of Jewish learning and a bastion of the Mitnaggedim [opponents of the Hasidic movement]. He received a traditional Jewish education in his native city (his father was one of his teachers.) At the age of 12 he was sent for advanced studies at the famous Yeshivah [religious academy] of Mir. Like many youths of his generation he was also drawn to modern Jewish learning (Haskalah or Enlightenment) and even considered enrolling in the modern, government authorized, Hebrew teachers seminary in Zhitomir. En route, in the city of Pinsk, White Russia, the 15 year-old youth received a letter notifying him of the plight his widowed mother and younger brother, Abraham, were in, and was thus obliged to seek employment to support himself and help his family.

Zeev Ben Zvi 1904-1952

Sculptor Zeev Ben-Zvi was born in Poland in 1904 and studied at the Academy of Art in Warsaw before immigrating to Palestine in 1924. After working for two years with Boris Schatz (1866–1932), founder of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and design in Jerusalem, Ben-Zvi taught sculpture at Bezalel from 1926–7, subsequently holding a teaching post there intermittently until his death. Ben-Zvi’s early naturalistic style gave way to a more intense expression based on Cubist techniques and he became known for his portrait sculptures and his masks from beaten copper. His work influenced a subsequent generation of sculptors. Ben-Zvi lived in England from 1937–9, where he began to use more rounded forms and to minimise detail, as can be seen in his head of Lord Hore Belisha. During the Second World War his work became more abstract. After his return to Jersualem he became a lecturer at Bezalel and created a monumental sculpture at Mishmar Haemek, In Memory of the Children of the Diaspora (1947), which has been described as ‘the apogee
