Leonard Baskin was born in 1922, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, to Rabbi
Samuel Baskin and May Guss Baskin. Religious themes as well as
mythological symbolism and images of human nature have been entwined
throughout his career, serving as the subjects of many of his works.
Baskin became intrigued by Greek history, philosophy and mythology at
an early age and now the central object of many of his sculptures and
paintings is the sibyl, the prophetic female from Greek mythology.
