Jack Zajac
Jack Zajac (born December 13, 1929) is a Californian West Coast artist who has been concerned with the “Romantic Surrealist tradition”. :”To have a message or an emotional stimulation soaked up by an uncertainty of the Artist’s tool — color — shape — form — which are the punctuation of his message, is a discouraging thing. This is the kind of anemia I’m trying to eliminate.” Biography Jack Zajac is an American artist who was born December 13, 1929 in Youngstown, Ohio. In 1946, his family moved to southern California.

Unconditional Surrender (sculpture)
''Unconditional Surrender'' is a series of computer-generated statues by Seward Johnson that resemble an iconic 1945 photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, ''V–J day in Times Square'', but was said by Johnson to be based on a similar, less well-known, photograph by Victor Jorgensen that is in the public domain. The first in the series was installed temporarily in Sarasota, Florida, then was moved to San Diego, California and New York City. Other copies have been installed in Hamilton, New Jersey; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; and Normandy, France. Johnson later identified the statue at exhibitions as ''"Embracing Peace"'' for the risqué double entendre when spoken. 2005: First temporary installation in Sarasota Seward Johnson manufactured a life-size bronze precursor to the huge statues of ''Unconditional Surrender'' using a computer copying technology that would be used for the entire series.
