7:00pm Moses Ezekiel: Portrait of a Lost Artist - Regal Hollywood 11

Moses Ezekiel (1844-1917) was a world-famous American sculptor, who had been born and raised in a large Jewish family in Richmond, Virginia. Before becoming an artist, he was the first Jewish cadet to be enrolled at the Virginia Military Institute and as such faced some unusual situations, such as having to secure permission from the Board of Governors to visit his family for Passover. He was among a class of cadets who fought for the Confederacy in the 1864 Battle of New Market during the U.S. Civil War. After graduation he studied anatomy at the Medical College of Virginia, adding dramatic realism to his sculptures. Ezekiel died in Rome in 1917 and was interred at the foot of his work, the Confederate Memorial, in Arlington National Cemetery. This documentary film tells Ezekiel’s story, while also focusing on the modern-day debate over the presence of Confederate statues and monuments in the United States, including those made by Ezekiel.
