Educated at Horace Mann Mazur received his BA from Amherst College where he arranged to study with Leonard Baskin who taught at Smith College. He later received both his BFA and MFA at Yale’s School of Art and Architecture and was in residence at the American Academy in Rome. Internationally recognized Mazur exhibited widely and his work is in the permanent collections of numerous museums including the Metropolitan Museum NYC; Museum of Fine Arts Boston; Museum of Modern Art NYC; Whitney Museum of Art NYC.
