About the Item

In 1954 Californian Jack Zajac (born 1929) won the prestigious Rome Prize to study painting at the American Academy in Rome. Moving into his new studio in the Italian capital he discovered clay left behind by the previous occupant and his creative medium changed forever. Fascinated by the goats he saw traveling through the Italian countryside they became one of his earliest sculptural inspirations. Though cast in bronze, one of the strongest and most durable of traditional sculpting materials, there is a lightness to Zajac's early caprine figures, at once representational and, at the same time, abstract. Edition numbered 5/12. Pedestal not included.

He later attended the Leonardo da Vinci School of Art studying under Attilio Piccirelli. In l939 he taught adult classes with the Teachers Project of the WPA and attended the Art Students League for three and a half years on full scholarship. He studied under William Zorach and Ossip Zadkine and later became Zorach’s assistant. Later in his career, he attended the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts. During World War II, Tatti served in the United States Army Air Force, where he spent three years assigned to variety of projects. In 1948, Benedict Tatti married Adele Rosenberg in New York City. Throughout his career, Tatti continuously experimented with various media. From 1952-1963, Tatti executed sculptural models of architectural and consumer products for the industrial designers, Raymond Loewy Associates; later he became a color consultant for the firm. In the 1960s, influenced by the Abstract Expressionists, Tatti turned from carving directly in wood and stone to creating assemblage architecture sculptures, using bronze metal and other industrial materials. He was included in the important show "Aspects de la Sculpture Americaine", at Galerie Claude Bernard Paris, France, in October 1960 along with Ibram Lassaw, Theodore Roszak, David Smith, Louise Bourgeois, Danese Corey, Dorothy Dehner, Lin Emery, Lily Ente, David Hayes, Louise Nevelson, Tony Rosenthal, Richard Stankiewicz, Sam Szafran...
