Smash Group of Akron, Ohio (1960). AI-Generated.
Picasso lived to 104, Brancusi to 101 and Georgia O’Keefe didn’t give up her creative ghost until three days after her 100th birthday.

The Silent Sculptor
Story: Jacob was never one to speak much about his feelings. He believed that words often failed to capture the depth of his emotions, so instead, he let his hands do the talking. In his small studio on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by walls of raw stone and clay, Jacob spent his days creating sculptures that told stories without uttering a single word.
