For instance, I like to do some carving. But it requires space, and there's a lot of dust. So, recently, when I did a few marble pieces here, my neighbors complained because when the furnace or air- conditioner is on, it sucks up all the dust." Costs of renting a studio "which is half-decent, and where I'd feel safe" are pro- hibitive, he says, although he's not given up the search. Kaplansky claims he spends so much time as he can these days in the studio, although he still goes to his real estate office each day. He says he usually gets home around 1-2 p.m. and then works in the studio until dinner. His work, done mostly in plaster and bronze, consists almost entirely of portraiture. "I find the human face and the human head the most interest- ing thing to paint or to sculpt," he says. "I'm not so much in- terested in an exact re- semblance of the person as I am their inner character. I was once commissioned to do a sculpture of a friend, who said to me one day, You know, sometimes you frighten me.' I said, Why do you say that?' It's the way you look at me,' he said. 'Somehow, I feel that you're crawling into me."' Recent subjects for Kap- lansky's work have been Jewish community leaders Edward Shifrin and Beatrice Epel and former Wayne State University sociology Professor Jack Horowitz. When not painting or sculpting, Kaplansky likes to spend time with his two sons and three grandchildren (sons John, 36, of Southfield, and Ronald, 43, of Lansing, are at- torneys), and he also enjoys reading, especially Yiddish literature. "I try to travel as much as I can, too." Kaplansky says. "Maybe I'm making up for lost time, so to say.. I like to go to the old European cities and observe the art work. some years back, I went to Rome and to Florence. Florence! If I were young, I would live in Flor- ence. What a beautiful, beau- tiful city." Kaplansky's most recent trip this summer included a visit to Antwerp and Bruges,. "Somehow, not many people go to Belgium," he says. "But it's absolutely beautiful. In Antwerp, they have the King's Museum, which is the most fabulous place. And, of course, Antwerp was Rubens' home. - His work is there. Brueghel's, work is there." As to the future, Kaplansky says he hopes to continue what he's doing, and to consistently improve his work. He's also experimenting with different styles. Who knows? Mayb -.?< something new will come up," he says, pointing out one of his more recent paintings — a unusual, surrealistic composi- tion — which, he says, is li nothing he's done before. If he had it all to do over again, would he do things any differently? "It's hard to say now, be- cause the circumstances when I grew up were entirely differ- ent to what they are now," he replies, after considering the question for several minutes. "I think, though, I'd do the same thing, but maybe differ- ently. Probably, I would ma more sacrifices for the sake o my art. "Now, I'm just out to do the beautiful thing," he concludes. And the beautiful thing is ar — something which raises us all above the daily chores."
