Moses Ezekiel, Portrait of a Lost Artist
|
Moses Jacob Ezekiel was a world-famous Jewish-American sculptor who lived and worked in Rome, Italy, for more than 40 years. He was also a loyal son of the Confederacy who became known for creating monumental works of art celebrating the "Lost Cause." More than a century after Ezekiel's death, this timely film focuses on the life and controversial works of this once renowned artist.
