  • Biblical and Jewish Motives in Art from Renaissance Till Contemporary Times
    Biblical and Jewish motives in art from Renaissance till contemporary times. The Tower of Babel, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Bereshit/Genesis 11:1-9. Biblical and Jewish motives in art from Renaissance till contemporary times Biblical and Jewish Motives in Art from Renaissance till Contemporary Times. During the Renaissance 17th century c.e. great non-Jewish Grand Masters in the painting art have contributed a great part in the distribution of themes from the Tanach around the globe. It is to be said that these great Grand Masters created these art works in Christian influence and were commissioned by the church. The Grand Masters in painting art are some notably Rembrandt, Rubens, Michelangelo and many others.Aside Biblical artwork made by the Grand Masters from the Renaissance throughout the industrial revolution 19th century c.e. Jewish artwork made by Jewish artists came at the beginning of the 19th century c.e., artists as Maurycy Gottlieb. These artists will be mentioned in this essay as Jewish art work from the 20th century c.e. as Marc Chagall, Chaim Gross and others. I wrote this essay in full awareness that, in contradiction with any book about Jewish art, it would be more consulted and probably read. But art has always interested me and to see it combined with my interests in Judaism is a fascinating and encouraging experience. It is the ideal introduction and announcement of the Tanach towards everyone. This essay would be written with explanatory and information but it will consist mostly with images of these wonderful and beautiful artwork.

It alludes to a surprise: in the act of painting many a dif- ferent one lies a charm, single, inborn, and the painter is exposed. Is acted. It has to do with unexpectable sameness, it is serendipitous as well as recalcitrant and alarming. It lurks, very real, not behind but in front of the surfaces. It amounts to a lonesome surface, the surface of portraiture, and deals with an absence, because one does not portray life, death is the subject. Death is the component and the span, the deeper one portrays the more it dawns on us. A sameness, not opaque, with a great variety of reso- nances, a repeated syncope. Charm of the Many is to be sensed, obviously, under the light of Mimi’s own Coptic ways, Fayoumesque, on the arduous path of appearance.

  • Remembering Chaim Gross 1904-1991
    \ .. Golden .- Gross. <c.This' piece ofsculpture, lignum vitie"-m 1947 waslent by Mr. and Mrs. David Teichmanof South Truro ~nd New York physical strength and health that are basic in his character and work. His few contacts with art were the illustrations in the family's religious books, which he copied, and the example of his older brothers Pinkas and Naftoli, who drew and carved and wrote: the latter was-to become a leading Jewish writer and poet in America. Sculptors' studios are always picturesque, but that of Chaim Gross, with its junglelike accumulation of figures in wood, stone and bronze, and its walls covered with prints and drawings by his friends, is one of the most photogenic in New York. This photo- genic quality is echanced by Gross himself, with his strong face, dark sympathetic eyes, warm ruddy complexion, curly black hair now somewhat grayed, and the feeling that he gives of simple physical vitality and health. He and his wife are warm-hearted and sociable, and have many friends. In 1943, after he won the second prize of $3,000 at the Artists for Victory exhibition, they bought a house on West 105th Street just off Central Park; where they have lived ever since. Their -home is a small museum, filled with African sculptures and with pictures by painter friends, mostly acquired by exchange and "My love of wood reaches back to my chilhood," chosen with an artist's eye for quality. Every Chaim Gross has said. He was born near a little summer since 1944 has been spent in Provincetown, village in the forests of the Carpathian Mountains, where they own a house remodelled from a barn.

  • FOR the PAST Four Decades, Mimi Gross Has Lived and Worked in a Broad, Art-Filled Loft Just Below Canal Street in Manhattan
    Critical Eye: Mimi Gross in Her World By Dan Nadel, January 27, 2017 FOR THE PAST four decades, Mimi Gross has lived and worked in a broad, art-filled loft just below Canal Street in Manhattan. Visitors are greeted by an enormous and exuberant painted sculpture—Gross calls it a “2½-D” work—in which the artist portrays her friends from the heyday of New York’s downtown bohemia in the poses and setting of Delacroix’s Women of Algiers in their Apartment (1834). It is, like so many things Gross does, a deft blending of history, observational por- traiture, and ingenious craft. The walls of her studio are covered with artwork by old comrades and family friends, a cast that includes both giants of American art and under-recognized figures: Rudy Burckhardt, Yvonne Jacquette, Saul Steinberg, Karl Wirsum, Sarah Canright. Mixed in are pieces by her ex-husband, Red Grooms, and her father, Chaim Gross. In her bright white workspace on the day I visited in late summer were several works in progress, including sets and costumes for Antipodes, Mimi Gross, At the Five Spot, 1958-1959, oil on the latest in more than a dozen collaborations she has undertaken crayon on paper, 13 3/4 x 10 3/4 in. with choreographer Douglas Dunn, and a 170-foot-long painting of clouds commissioned by the University of Ken- tucky Medical Center. Less spectacular but perhaps more enticing were flat files stacked to the ceiling along one wall of the studio. Each drawer holds its own delights. Some feature preparatory drawings from Gross’s pioneering films, such as Tap- py Toes (1969–70), a hilarious and surreal homage to Busby Berkeley.

  • Chaim Gross Biography
    ARTIST BROCHURE Decorate Your Life™ ArtRev.com Chaim Gross Chaim Gross (1904-1991) is considered among one of the greatest of Twentieth Century figurative sculptors, and his graphic work is also highly celebrated. A native of Austria, Chaim Gross emigrated to the United States in 1921 where he began studies with Robert Laurent and Elie Nadelman. His works can be seen in every major American museum collection and at The Chaim Gross Studio Museum in New York. Well known for his direct wood carvings of circus performers, animals and the female form, Chaim Gross worked in a combination of traditional and tribal/folk styles. Gross began to focus heavily on his heritage and Judaic themes after the terrible events of World War II. Today, it is clear that his interest in the human form was used to create more than simple sculpture. Every curvature and graceful stroke helped ensure that the viewer was and will continue to be awed with his unique style. By simplifying and omitting details, his sculpture is a celebration of joy, love and humanity. For more than sixty years Chaim Gross's art has expressed optimistic, affirming themes. His acrobats, cyclists, and mothers and children convey joyfulness, exuberance, love, and intimacy. This aspect of his work remained consistent with his Hasidic heritage, which teaches that "only in his childlike happiness is man nearest to God."

  • Hersh Gross and His Boiberiker Kapelye (1927-1932)1
    JEFFREY WOLLOCK Historic Records as Historical Records: Hersh Gross and His Boiberiker Kapelye (1927-1932)1 The Boiberiker Kapelye was a Jewish ensemble – what would today be called a “klezmer” band – active in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Although now mainly cited as an early vehicle for the great clarinetist Dave Tarras, the Boiberiker was much more. Tarras plays no major role on the three 1927 Boiberiker discs, but they are classics of klezmer artistry in their own right. Indeed, the Boiberiker, with its huge repertoire, consummate musicali- ty, creativity, and idealistic musical and cultural goals, was one of the best and most interesting klezmer ensembles ever to record. With deep roots in the conservative Hasidic traditions of Galicia and Ukraine, also at home in more modern styles, the Boiberiker was the first “klezmer band” that owed its fame to the new medium of radio. This article gives a detailed account of the ensemble’s recordings, broadcasting career, and personnel, with special emphasis on long-forgotten founder and leader Hersh Gross. It presents evi- dence indicating that the Boiberiker made additional recordings under other names. __________________________________________________________________________________ esearch on the history of klezmer music, at least in the English language, was virtually nonexistent until about 25 years ago, and only in the past decade has it R really taken off. Although it is now possible to get a basic overview of the subject, vast fields remain to be explored. Given the paucity of written documentation and even of oral history, the backbone of this new research effort has been discography and recording history.

  • The Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation
    The Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation Chaim Gross (1904–1991) is renowned for his direct wood carvings of circus performers, dancers, and intimate mother and child pairings. Gross created these subjects in a style that combined modernist, African, and folk forms. His art emerged from a rich Eastern European background and solid artistic training, first in Budapest and Vienna, and then in New York City. Cover: Chaim Gross with Girl in Kimono (1937).

Born in 1904 in the province of Galicia (then under the administration of the Austro-Hungarian government), Gross emigrated as a teenager from war torn Europe in 1921. Soon after arriving in the U.S. he first studied painting and then sculpture at the Educational Alliance on the Lower East Side. There he came to know painters Moses and Raphael Soyer, Peter Blume, Adolph Gottlieb, and many other key 20th-century New York artists. Gross then expanded upon his study of sculpture with Robert Laurent at the Art Students League and Elie Nadelman at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design. After his first solo show in New York in !"#$ at Gallery !%%, Gross’s works were soon acquired by major Manhattan and American museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
