A man covered by a Jewish prayer shawl stands before a shtender, or lectern. But look again at the pit-fired clay work of deep browns scorched with grays. No form stands under the shawl that itself makes a ghostlike shape. The man is gone. "He is ashes," says Schwarzbart. "This is a comment on what the Holocaust did."

Arnold's only sculpture on the Holocaust. He made four; one is in the permanent collection of the Schwarzbart Gallery at the Arnstein Jewish Community Center in Knoxville. It was the signature piece of "Reflections of the Other," his 2008 exhibition at the University of Tennessee Downtown Gallery.
