Back in 2004, I gleaned interesting information at the New York City Center for Jewish History on West 16th Street, where I was allowed to search through two boxes of memorabilia about Samuel "Zuni" MAUD. I am trying to ascertain the name of his parents and early family records in eastern Europe -- a difficult task. Living in Los Angeles makes it impossible for me to do any research in NYC or in the Catskills where Zuni and his family ran a guest house, Maud's Summer-Ray.

There is a great history re Zuni Maud as you are aware. He also appears in a book 100 American Jewish artists. I am in the process of collecting ALL of these artist. Zuni Maud is not available. Not that it (he) is valuable it (the art) is not valuable as no one wants his works as no one is prompting it. It is that I am on a quest. Over the years he has fallen off the earth. If you like I can fax you the page in this book re him. Ken Rosenblum 212-777-7700
I am trying to get an example of an original piece of his art work to add to my collection. Thanks

Let me revise the information I gave in August 2003 about my cousin, the well-known U.S. Yiddish artist Samuel "Zuni" MAUD (1885-1956). I wrote that he was married to Bessie MAUD. That's incorrect: Bessie (nee KOPPEL) was the wife of Zuny's brother Philip "Zeidel" MAUD. Zuny and Zeidel also had a sister named either Lillian "Lulia" or Matilda MAUD, who I think married Mane ROSMAN in the Bronx on January 23, 1930. They were all confirmed Yiddishists, so their names are transliterated in English any old way! If anybody has additional recollections about this interesting family, I'd love to hear from you. I actually visited Maud's Summer-Ray in 1942 or 1943, while my parents were vacationing there and have a couple of B&W snapshots of my Mom with, I guess, Bessie. - Wishing you all "a Guten Pesach," Henny Moed Roth

Artist Zuni MAUD

I'm trying to piece together the ancestry of gifted New York artist Zuni Maud, who appears to be a relative of the MOED family. All I know is that he immigrated to the U.S. in 1905, had a wife named Bessie, and owned a hotel or guest house called Maud's Summer-Ray in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. I even visited my parents there around 1942 or 1943. I've read Edward Portnoy's fascinating article on the ModiCut Puppet Theater in New York, but need factual data.
