Richard Davis (richarddavissculptor.com) sculpted a portrait of his friend and mentor, the artist Ahron Ben-Schmuel in 1936 in clay and then cast in bronze. The rugged masculinity of the subject is captured intensely and further accentuated by the rough stone base on which it is mounted. The head was exhibited at the MOMA in New York in 1936 and then at other galleries.
