Nathan Rapoport (1911-1987), also known as Natan Rapoport, was a Jewish sculptor and painter who was born in Warsaw, Poland. His middle name may be rendered in English as either Yaakov or Jacob. In 1936, he won a scholarship to study in France and Italy. He fled to the Soviet Union when the Nazis invaded Poland. The Soviets initially provided him with a studio, but later compelled him to work as a manual laborer. After the end of hostilities, he returned to Poland to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In 1950, Rapoport immigrated to the United States, where he lived in New York City until his death in 1987. His sculptures in public places include:
