For your consideration is a contemplative original watercolor by Chaim Cross (21.25”x37.75”). In excellent condition. Chaim Gross is considered to be one of the greatest American Modernist sculptors, and his graphic work is also highly celebrated. Known for his direct wood carvings of animals, jubilant circus performers, and intimate mother and child pairings, Gross worked in a combination of traditional and tribal/folk styles to render figures in various states of solitude and joyous interdependence. In 1932, after his first solo exhibition in New York at Gallery 144, works by the artist were soon acquired by major American museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Today, the largest body of sculpture by Chaim Gross in a public collection resides at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C., and a permanent display of his sculpture is maintained at the artist's historic townhouse and studio in Greenwich Village at The Renee and Chaim Gross Foundation. Works by Chaim Gross are included in many more important public collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, IL; The Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY; the Butler Institute of Art, Cincinnati, OH; and the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA.
