Isaiah Zagar graduated from Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY) in 1960, majoring in Graphics and Painting. His mosaic work began in 1969. Tiny pieces of mirror, broken tile and found objects cover entire walls of residential and retail buildings in the South Street section of Philadelphia, PA, most of them within a 10-12 block area.
