Thankyou, Saul, for that interesting first person account of Chaim's later career.
Whether he became merely a commercial artist is a matter of taste. Would you say the same about Giovanni Bellini whose workshop also turned out endless mother and child pieces ? (BTW - I've yet to see a single piece by Gross that I admired -- but following your advice, I'll look for the earlier work) >Chaim by the late-1950 was a commercial artist - endless mother and child sculptures - though they might have been out of guilt given his estrangement from his artist daughter Mimi Gross - Chaim by that time was more interested in beating out Jacques Lipschitz - the other Jewish sculptor - than anything else - his African art started as inspiration and then became a room full of trophies ( I worked for Forum Gallery in the 70s and had a lot of contact with him) ____________________________________________________________ Learn more about study prep, LSAT info and tips.
