Zadok Ben-David’s fine and exquisite sculptures play with shadow and light. So typical of his work, Up and Above explores the renewal and connectedness of natural forms.

Ben-David is an internationally acclaimed London-based artist. Born in Yemen and raised in Israel, he studied at London’s St. Martin’s School of art, where he also taught from 1977-1982. In 1988 he was selected to exhibit as Israel’s representative at the Venice Biennale.

Note: Mount Bogong Victoria rises more than 1,600 metres (5,200 ft), thus making it one of the highest peaks in Australia not only in terms of its elevation above sea level, but also in terms of actual base-to-summit

prominence.

As a leading pictorial photographic artist in the early decades of the 20th century, Cazneaux was revered for his abilities at capturing light and atmosphere in his monumental Australian landscapes.

The 1920s and 1930s were highly productive times for the artist. He produced a series of portraits of well-known artists, musicians, and actors and many books including Canberra, Australia’s Federal Capital (1928), Sydney Surfing (1929), The Bridge Book (1930), The Sydney Book (1931), Frensham Book (1934), and the jubilee number of the B.H.P. Review (1935).
