Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Not Indicated. Chaim Gross (March 17, 1904 - May 5, 1991) was an Austrian born American sculptor. He was born in the then Austro-Hungarian village of Kolomyia (since 1991, in the Ukraine) and immigrated to the United States in 1921. His art studies began at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna shortly before he moved to the United States, where it continued at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design where he studied with Elie Nadelman and at the Art Students League of New York, with Robert Laurent. Gross began exhibiting both his sculpture and graphic art in 1935, and was one of 250 sculptors who exhibited in the 3rd Sculpture International held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the summer of 1949. Primarily Gross was a practitioner of the direct carving method, with the majority of his work being carved from wood. Works by Chaim Gross can be found in major museums and private collections throughout the United States. Gross was a professor of printmaking and sculpture at both the Educational Alliance and the New School for Social Research in New York City, as well as a member of Artists Equity, the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors, and the National Institute of Arts and Letters. He was a founder and served as the first president of the Sculptors Guild. His daughter is the artist Mimi Gross. Color Plates (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Fine. 1st. xi, 425 pages, illustrations (some colour); 31 cm. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 10 to September 12, 2004. Firm binding, clean inside copy. OVERSIZE! Additional shipping charges may be requested for international & priority orders. A massive coffee-table book. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "'I believe the man who will go down to posterity is the man who paints his own time and the scenes of every-day life around him,' declared Childe Hassam in 1892. It was as a pioneer of American Impressionism and perhaps its most prolific and successful practitioner that Hassam (1859-1935) realized this credo. In so doing, he provided an account of our national life during a dynamic period. At the same time he helped to create a wave of enthusiasm for American Impressionism that he rode to fame and fortune. Today he is best known for his portrayals of Celia Thaxter's old-fashioned garden on Appledore Island, Maine, and his depictions of the flags, banners, and bunting displayed on New York's tall buildings in patriotic response to World War I. This illustrated publication accompanies a major exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, the first retrospective presentation of Hassam's work in a museum since 1972. Unique to this volume are an account of Hassam's lifelong campaign to market his art, a study of the frames he selected and designed for his paintings, and an unprecedented lifetime exhibition record. Included in addition are a checklist of works in the exhibition and a chronology of Hassam's life. All works in the exhibition as well as comparative materials are reproduced." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Childe Hassam, American impressionist; Introduction, by H. Barbara Weinberg; 1.

Additional shipping charges may be requested for international & priority orders. A massive coffee-table book. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "This book is the most comprehensive publication to date on the work of Elie Nadelman (1882-1946), an important sculptor and a key member of the New York art scene in the first half of the 20th century. Accompanying the first major retrospective of Nadelman's work since 1975, it brings his achievement to a new generation of art enthusiasts. Nadelman fused classical influences with the subject matter and imagery of popular culture. Using bronze, marble, wood, and plaster, he created stylized, curvilinear emblems of modern life whose formal motifs referenced both the antique and the modern. Here, Barbara Haskell presents a fully researched and broad-based examination of Nadelman's art by juxtaposing his elegant drawings with related sculptures, filling a gap in the literature on 20th-century American sculpture." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Formative experiences: Poland, 1882-1903; An aesthetic emerges: Munich, 1904; Launching a career: Paris, 1904-09; Statement of aesthetic principles: Camera Work, 1910; Paterson Gallery and Helena Rubinstein: London, 1911; Success accelerates: Paris, 1912-14; Unintentional immigration and meteoric success: New York: 1914-17; Whimsical insouciance: plaster genre figures, 1917-19; Tubular modernity: wood and bronze genre figures, 1920-25; Nadelman as collector: the Museum of Folk Arts; Galvano-plastiques, 1925-27; Toward a domestic market: small-scale papier-maches and terra-cottas, 1928-35; The Depression and its consequences, 1929-35; An art of flux, anxiety, and uncertainty: miniature figurines, 1938-46.
