Title:	Mother Playing
Artist:	Gross, Chaim (Kolomea, Austria, 1904 - New York, 1991)
Date:	1973
Medium:	Original Lithograph
Edition:	Limited edition of one hundred signed impressions, numbered 43/100.
Note:	Chaim Gross: Those acquainted with the history of modern sculpture will immediately recognize the name of Chaim Gross. Gross, however, was also a highly esteemed printmaker, particularly in the field of original lithography. Coming to the United States in 1921, Chaim Gross studied at the Educational Alliance in New York and at the Art Students League, under Robert Laurent. Chaim Gross began exhibiting both his sculpture and graphic art in 1935 at major expositions in Philadelphia and New York. During the following years his art was regularly included in major contemporary shows with the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Chicago Art Institute, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and at the prestigious Whitney Museum.
	After the Second World War, Chaim Gross's sculptures were commissioned world wide by such institutions as the Main Post Office, Washington, DC, the Hadassah Hospital, Jerusalem, and the Temple Shaaray Tefila, New York. He was also the President of the Sculptors Guild of America and a full member of Artists Equity, the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors and the National Institute of Arts and Letters. For a number of years, Chaim Gross was also influential as a professor of printmaking and sculpture in New York at both the Educational Alliance and at the New School for Social Research.
	During the early 1970's, one of Chaim Gross's major concerns in both his sculpture and lithography was the theme of motherhood. As one can see from this original example, his lithographs dealing with this theme explore both spacial and sculptural concepts to create the essential elements of warmth and love. This work of art ranks among his greatest in this vein.
