Arthur & Sofia Mooradian with Emil Kazaz’s “Judith” (1995) at the Yerevan Modern Art Museum. Donated by Mooradian Gallery to Yerevan Modern Art Museum in 2004 for permanent display.

Emil Kazaz’s famed “Judith” (1995) at the Yerevan Modern Art Museum donated by Mooradian Gallery in 2004.

Emil Kazaz’s “Judith” (1995) is a celebrated bronze sculpture by the internationally acclaimed Armenian-American artist Emil Kazaz (born Emanuel Ghazazian). It is considered one of his most recognized and awarded modern artworks, highlighting the biblical story of Judith and Holofernes.

Description & Style: The sculpture is known for its “round,” “bodacious,” and “robust” depiction of the biblical heroine, often portrayed in a contrapposto pose. Kazaz’s interpretation often features a victorious and confident Judith with a subtle, “benign smirk”.

Key Version (1995): A 1995 version of this sculpture was donated by the Mooradian Gallery in 2004 to the permanent collection of the Yerevan Modern Art Museum of Armenia.”

Judith IV” (2009/2016): Other versions, such as “Judith IV” (2009), have been created in bronze with 24K gold leaf.

Exhibitions: The work has been shown in the Los Angeles art scene and featured in various gallery posts, including Mooradian Gallery, which handles his work.

Interpretation: Critics have noted that Kazaz “gently subverts” the traditional, often violent, story by focusing on a sensual yet triumphant depiction of the character.
