The Israeli sculptor and landscape architect Itzhak Danziger was born into a bourgeois Berlin family that settled in Jerusalem in 1923. From 1934 to 1937, he studied at the Slade School in London. While studying in London, he visited the British Museum and was influenced by the Assyrian, Egyptian, and African sculpture he encountered there. He returned to Jerusalem in 1938 and created Nimrod, one of the most famous works of Israeli sculpture. From 1948 to 1955, Danziger lived in London, during which time he studied garden and landscape design. He returned to Israel in 1955 and taught three-dimensional design at the Technion.
