Jack Elias' self portrait.

The glowing drawings of Jack Elias illuminate this story of his vision as an artist. He was inspired by a feeling that was similarly expressed by Eric Hoffer: that art should satisfy the personal urges and visions of the creator.

This is the story of a lifetime of work from his childhood in the 1920s in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, through his career as an aerospace engineer, to the present day.
