ELIE HAZAK
BRONZES

From the archive

A living record of a distinguished body of work.

Historical photographs, observations, and commissioned pieces are presented here as a considered record of Elie Hazak’s sculptural career.

"This sculptor possesses two of what I consider to be hallmarks of future greatness. First he has the priceless ingredient, enthusiasm. Secondly, he is a prolific artist, usually a sign of competency by an artist in his craft. Hazak's bronzes are exciting, full of action, and show the result of careful research into his subject matter, although I have never subscribed to the cult of 'authenticity,' feeling as I do that spirit, anatomy and modeling are fully as important as leather and hardware. Elie Hazak has found a happy balance of both philosophies. He has reached an important milestone in the development of artistic perception, and is mature enough to distinguish between valid criticism and mere envy. Elie should go far in his chosen field."

Harold G. Davidson, author of “Edward Borein, Cowboy Artist” and noted art critic says of Elie Hazak's work.
