a friend and fellow sculptor to my mom, Corinne Kweskin.

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.

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'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.

I own one of Nathaniel's small bronze heads. It belonged to my late mom, who apparently knew Nathan. I hold it dear to my heart. I believe he sculpted it in 1945. Perhaps they knew one another in NYC or Chicago?

I first met Nat at a meeting I had with
Delphina. It was a wonderful afternoon. Nat told me great stories about the Art Students League, Jackson Pollack and Nat's early years as a child artist and his move to NYC. It was a wonderful introduction to a great artist who lived life. At the end of the meeting he lamented not having the time to make a quick drawing of me in his sketch book that he was carrying. In retrospect, I appreciate the moment of having been seen my Nat.
Kaz in Italy, doing his thing. Will be missed but not forgotten.
