About the Item
Nison Tregor
Born in Lithuania of Polish parents, Nison Tregor studied sculpture at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. After immigrating to the United States he worked in the New York studio of Malvina Hoffman, who had studied with Auguste Rodin. He created busts of several eminent Americans including Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower, as well as several foreign heads of state and other celebrities. He spent the final years of his life working in Europe. This bronze likeness of Ignacy Jan Paderewski is the last portrait posed for by the renowned Polish pianist, composer and statesman. The artist completed the work using the clay bust he had been working on at the time of Paderewski’s final illness and subsequent death.
This particular bronze sculpture has a beautiful patina and the sitter has a refined and elegant posture that is beautifully captured in bronze.

- [Morgan Le Fey]By Hazel Brill JacksonLocated in Boston, MASigned on base: "Hazel Brill Jackson". Also with artist's monogram. In fine condition. Hazel Brill Jackson (Born December 15, 1894, in Philadelphia) spent most of her early childhood in Italy. Attending the Scuola Rosatti in Florence, Jackson enjoyed afternoons at the zoo, pursuing her favorite pastime: drawing animals. World War I forced the return of the Jackson family to the United States where they settled in Boston. Hazel spent the next four years at the Boston Museum School, where she studied with Bela Pratt and Charles Grafly. Jackson returned to Rome after the war, where she worked with Angelo Zanelli and later had her own studio. With such works as Roman Work Horse and Ned (Mussolini's favorite jumper), she began to exhibit both in Rome and Florence, and eventually became a member of the Circolo Artistico di Roma. The sculptress returned to the United States in 1935 and opened a studio in Newburgh, New York. She continued to sculpt animals, concentrating on horse and dog portraits. Jackson had one-woman shows at the Guild of Boston Artists in 1938 and in 1968. In 1945, she was awarded the Ellin P. Speyer Prize by the National Academy of Design in New York City for Play-Day and Romance (a mare and foal group) and in 1949, she won the same prize for Indian Antelope. Hazel Jackson is represented in the Brookgreen Gardens collection by The Listeners, a sculpture group of raccoons, which was placed there in 1964. Don Quixote, now at Wellesley College won Jackson the Mahonri Young...Category
