Ossip Zadkine was a Russian Jewish sculptor and artist. Born in Vitebsk, Belarus, then Russian Empire, of Jewish and Scottish extraction, Zadkine is primarily known as a sculptor but also produced paintings and graphical works.
After attending art school in London, Zadkine settled in Paris about 1910, where he became part of the new Cubist movement (1914-1925).
After this time, he developed an original style, strongly influenced by primitive arts.
His best-known work is the sculpture "The Destroyed City" (1953), a memorial to the destruction of the center of the Dutch city Rotterdam
by the Germans in 1940.
