Gideon’s Sculpture Gallery

Not limiting himself to only one style, or to one medium, Gideon set himself aside from many artists by having a strong command of his sculpting abilities. Having created hundreds of sculptures, small to larger–than–life size, over a span of decades, Gideon’s works prove his mastery of this very difficult and timeless medium.

Gideon’s Holocaust Art

27

The Gideon Holocaust Art Collection is a remarkable record of the pain and suffering of World War II, created from the personal experiences and memories of American Master Artist and Sculptor Gideon. The experiences of World War II cast a permanent shadow of memory Gideon is unable to erase. His mind and his soul continually remind him of the horrors his vision had to endure. He is destined to paint and sculpt the images of the Holocaust; an emotional portrayal of a historic atrocity, a vivid reminder that such a shadow should not pass mankind’s way again.
