Two male figures engraved in wood.
Leonard Baskin was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and was raised in Brooklyn, New York. Although he worked as a printmaker, draftsman, and book designer, Baskin's principal focus throughout his life was sculpture. He was a traditionalist who carved in wood and stone, and modeled in clay. The inspiration for his work came from a variety of sources, including the Bible, ancient Greek literature and modern Western poetry. As the son of a Rabbi, Baskin was educated at a yeshiva; Jewish imagery was to be an important element of his work.
