Not sure what to say?

Remembering you as a friend and fellow sculptor to my mom, Corinne Kweskin. I still have the small bronze that was given to mom by you.

I lived in the Kaz building on 70th in the eighties and nineties. We were great friends. So many wonderful conversations with he and Delfina. They filled my life with art, I'll always remember his brilliant piano Music drifting through the townhouse in the late afternoons. I'll see you in heaven old friend.

I have owned one of Mr. Kaz' charcoal sketches of a standing female nude (dtd 1930) for nearly 40 years. It is a most elegant piece. What a great hand! He certainly knew how to draw. I get great pleasure from it every day.

..."Mother Earth" on display at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Kaz creating "Mother Earth"...

Nat will always be remembered as a great teacher. He was also my landlord on W 70th, and good friend of my Father for years. Will never forget you.

I worked as a model for Mr. Kaz for a few weeks in 1961. My condolences to his family.

I'm sure my mom knew him from NYC when she lived there. Mom had one of his wonderful little statues and when she passed on, I owned it.
