Chaim Gross is considered to be one of the greatest American Modernist sculptors, and his graphic work is also highly celebrated. Known for his rendering of figures in various states of solitude, this lithograph is an excellent example of the artist's work. 

PLEASE NOTE CONDITION: There is evidence of light toning to the front of the sheet (mat window open area) and light toning in the margins, slight wave to the sheet along the top margin, and the verso of the sheet has masking tape remnants on the left and bottom edges, otherwise the lithograph is in very good condition, with no evidence of any damage to the image. 

Chaim Gross was born in 1904 to a Jewish family in Austria. He would experience first-hand the turmoil World War I inflicted upon Austria-Hungary from Russian forces. After the War, Gross moved to Budapest to study at the city’s art academy, but soon thereafter the government of Hungary was overthrown and Gross was deported to Vienna, where he continued his studies. In 1921, Gross, along with his brother, emigrated to New York. During his first few years in New York, Gross attended night classes at the Educational Alliance Art School and sculpture and drawing classes at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design. It is during this time that Gross began to work almost exclusively in wood carving. It was not until the late 1950s that he would switch to bronze as his central medium. In 1959, some of these bronzes were included in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s retrospective, “Four American Expressionists”. In 1977, Gross had several retrospective shows: at the Lowe Art Museum, the Montclair Art Museum, and the Jewish Museum in New York City respectively.
