Chaim Gross was a Ukrainian-American artist known for his direct carving approach to wood and stone sculptures, as well as for his bronze castings, drawing, and printmaking. A Jewish immigrant to New York City in 1921, Gross studied at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design and the Art Students League. His artistic subjects are largely female bodies, Judaica, and circus performers rendered in his distinctive figurative style which emphasizes dynamic rhythms and curves. Over the course of his lifetime, Chaim Gross worked as a professor of sculpture and printmaking at a number of prestigious institutions including the Brooklyn Museum Art School, the Museum of Modern Art art school, and the Art Student’s League, and was a founder and president of the Sculptors Guild. Today, Gross’s work belongs to many prominent private and public collections such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Columbus Museum of Art, and many more.
