Max Kalish 1
Max Kalish was an American sculptor born in Valozhyn, Belarus. He was best known for his sculptures of laborers. His Orthodox Jewish family immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, in 1893, when he was two years old. Kalish studied with Herman Matzen at the Cleveland Institute of Art; in New York City with Herbert Adams at the National Academy of Design and in the studios of Alexander Stirling Calder and Isidore Konti and Paris with Paul Wayland Bartlett at the Académie Colarossi and Jean-Antoine Injalbert at the École des Beaux-Arts. His best-known work is a 1932 statue of Abraham Lincoln in Cleveland, Ohio. Washington, D.C. Publisher Willard M. Kiplinger commissioned Kalish to create 50 portrait statuettes of prominent figures in World War II-era politics, arts and sciences. Kiplinger donated the statuettes to the Smithsonian Institution in 1944. Kalish was the author of Labor Sculpture, largely a collection of photographs of his statues of workers. Most of the works in the book are in a Social realism style. Critic Emily Genauer wrote in 1938, “It is the workmen who dominate the American scene, and who have become as surely symbolic of their time as the pioneers in covered wagons, and the robber barons and the great merchant princes were in their respective eras.” This was what Kalish portrayed in his art.
