Course Description

Moses Jacob Ezekiel was the first renowned Jewish American artist and one of the most popular artist-celebrities of his time. As a teenager, Ezekiel fought for the Confederacy and was friends with Robert E. Lee. After the war, he established himself as a sculptor in Rome, was honored by European royalty and enjoyed friendships with Franz Liszt, Queen Margherita and three U.S. presidents. Ezekiel created over 100 sculptures, but his controversial Confederate statues have since overshadowed his other major accomplishments, including the largest monument to religious liberty in the U.S. and many works inspired by his Jewish identity. 

Optional book reading: Moses Jacob Ezekiel: Jewish, Confederate, Expatriate Sculptor, Samantha Baskind
