Jefferson  D. Rubin was a brilliant young artist whose 
classical art embraced the poetry of sculpture that decends 
from ancient and Renaissance antecedents.  A Colorado native, 
he studied in the United States and Italy, and was founder, 
director and principal teacher of La Scuola Classical Sculpture 
School in Denver.  Rubin exhibited in galleries and museums 
across the country and abroad, and his rare pieces are prized 
in many private collections.  He died in a tragic mountain 
accident in August of 1995 at the age of 36.  The 
Jefferson D. Rubin Memorial Fund, a non-profit organization, 
exists to keep alive the idealism of the human form and Spirit 
in classical sculpture.  That was the purpose of La Scuola 
and the soaring vision of its founder and his muse.
