Jules Leon Butensky was a sculptor (sometimes incorrectly referred to as "Jules M. Butensky"). Born in Stolawitz (Stolovitch), Russia, Butensky was of Jewish ancestry and received an extremely thorough education, originally planning to become an engineer. This plan was halted after a local artist, a sculptor, suggested that he consider art his profession after viewing several of his drawings.
With this suggestion, Butensky moved in about 1889 to Vienna, Austria where he was accepted into (showing 500 of 5590 characters). |
