Hortense (Honey) Kassoy, who died at 96 on July 5, 2013, was an artist as adept with
a chisel as she was with a paint brush.
Honey, as she was known to all, moved with her husband Bernard (Bernie) to the Amalgamate
Houses in 1950 and they quickly became active members of the community.
Among the many activities Honey as she was known to all embraced were the Amalgamated
Nursery School, the co-op's visual arts committee, the costume ball committee, a publication
called Co-op Voices and the Apricot theater group. Her sculpture, "Maternal Force,"
is a permanent fixture in the courtyard of the two Amalgamated towers located on Sedgwick
Avenue between Saxon and Dickenson avenues.
She was a teacher at Evander Childs High School and a founding member of the Bronx
Council on the Arts who was instrumental in founding the Bronx Museum of the Arts.
Honey was corresponding secretary for the United Stats Committee of the International
Association of Artists, a branch of UNESCO, from 1979 to 1993.
Access to the collections in the Kheel Center is restricted. Please contact a reference
