Arbit Blatas Sculptures

Lithuanian, 1909-1999
Arbit Blatas (1908–1999) was a Lithuanian-born French artist, widely recognized for his contributions as a painter, sculptor, and lithographer. He was part of the École de Paris (Paris School), a group of international artists who made Paris their home and created influential works during the early to mid-20th century. Blatas was born Arbuth Notovich in Kaunas, Lithuania, but he moved to Paris at a young age to pursue his artistic career. In Paris, he became associated with other notable artists, including Chaim Soutine, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, and Amedeo Modigliani. Blatas was inspired by these artists but developed his own distinctive style. Blatas initially gained recognition for his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes, as well as for his work in lithography. His paintings often exhibited a vibrant color palette and expressive brushwork, typical of modernist traditions. His portraits captured the emotional essence of his subjects, many of whom were cultural figures from the worlds of art, music, and theater. Later in his career, Blatas focused more on sculpture. He is especially noted for his Holocaust memorial sculptures. His most famous work is the "Monument of the Holocaust", a powerful series of bronze reliefs and sculptures commemorating the victims of the Holocaust. These sculptures are installed in several locations around the world, including: Venice, Italy (the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo in the Jewish Ghetto); Paris, France (the Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation); New York City, USA (at the Museum of Jewish Heritage). The Monument of the Holocaust series is a deeply emotional tribute to the Jewish victims of Nazi persecution, reflecting Blatas’s personal connection to the tragedy, as his family members perished in the Holocaust. Blatas was married to Regina Resnik, a famous American opera singer. Their marriage led to his growing involvement with the opera world, and he produced many portraits of legendary opera figures such as Maria Callas. He also created set designs and stage art for various opera productions. Arbit Blatas remained active as an artist throughout his life. His works are exhibited in major collections and museums across the world, including the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Blatas passed away in 1999, leaving behind a legacy of art that spans painting, sculpture, and lithography, with a particular focus on human expression and historical memory. Blatas's ability to capture both the joy and tragedy of the human experience through his art, particularly his moving Holocaust memorials, makes him a figure of lasting significance in 20th-century art.

"The Enigma of The Egg" Texas/Mexican Artist Studied with Zuniga

By Alberto Saucedo

Located in San Antonio, TX

Alberto Saucedo (Born 1960) Texas Artist (Sculptor/Painter) 21.5 inches tall Medium: Bronze 2016 "The Enigma of The Egg" Alberto was born in 1960. He was raised in Mexico City. Alberto Saucedo began his career as self-taught artist who demonstrated at a young age a remarkable talent and passion for art that eventually at seventeen years of age led him to formal studies at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and later on enrolled at San Diego City College. There he focused on Commercial Art and Interior Design. It was there, where he evolved his unique personal style. It was also at this time that he discovered the work of Master sculptor Francisco Zuñiga and studied sculpture with him. Sculpture subsequently became a major part of Saucedo’s work, and achieved his first real recognition in his field. Saucedo’s training has included a generous study of art history, where he incorporates his sensuous, spiritual and classical techniques, transforming it into a style that becomes evident in his work.
