| Jacques Lipchitz, the eldest son of a wealthy Jewish contractor, was born in Druskieniki,
Lithuania in 1891. His interest in modeling and drawing was evident
when he was in grade school. At the age of 18, and against the wishes
of his father to become an engineer, he departed for Paris to enroll in
anatomy and stone carving classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts - at the
encouragement of his mother and uncle. He also studied at the Academie
Julian and the Academie Colarossi. (showing 500 of 5570 characters). |
