Artist Naum Knop learned the art of woodcarving from his father, a cabinetmaker from Ukraine.  After studying at the Belgrano National School of Fine Art in Buenos Aires, Knop spent the next 50 years creating sculptures that are on display all over Europe and the Americas.  The Three Suns monument displayed in Silver Spring at the corner of Colesville and Spring Street relfects the three stages of a man's life and the generations of son, father and grandfather.
