Israel Lashes
Retarded Group
JERUSALEM — The Is-
rael Labor and Social
Ministry recently denied a
report that children would
be discharged from homes
for the retarded and casti-
gated AKIM, the voluntary
organization for aiding re-
tarded children, for initiat-
ing the scare.
Hundreds of angry par-
ents blocked traffic in Tel
Aviv after receiving letters
from AKIM saying that
their children would be sent
home if the freeze on new
personnel for the homes was
not lifted.
The Work of Notable Artist Chaim Gross Depicted in New Volume
Unquestionably among
the most populiti of Ameri-
can artists, Chaim Gross
commands interest wher-
ever there is anything relat-
ing to art.
His works chiseled in
stone, cast in bronze, are
among the most notable in
museums everywhere.
He is equally famous for
his watercolors and draw-
ings and the new Harry N.
Abrams published volume
is a notable work that will
fascinate art lovers. It will
enchant professionals while
encouraging a new interest
among those gathering art
collections to enhance their
homes.
It is especially appro-
priate that the text for
"Chaim Gross
Watercolors and Draw-
ings" should have been
written by an eminent
critic, the late Alfred
Werner.
It is as a draftsman that
Gross emerges in this un-
usually impressive work
and its collection of art
works by a great artist. His
earliest as well as most re-
cent drawings- are included
in this volume.
There are 220 illustra-
tions in this large book, 26
in color.
Gross was born in East
Austria in 1904 the 10th
child of a lumber merchant.
During the First World
War, the family fled the
reign of terror. His family
settled in Budapest, where
in 1919 he began drawing
while earning his livelihood
doing odd jobs. In a competi-
tion he won a scholarship to
an art school and his career
began at that time.
He came to the United
States in 1921 and it was
in the Educational Al-
liance Art School that he
advanced in his ap-
proach to a career of
achievement and fame.
Alfred Werner's skillful
description of the Gross
works and his analyses of
the artist's creative labors
mark significance for the
eminent artist's role in
many aspects of art creativ-
ity.
Werner points out that at
the outset Gross did not
have any specific Jewish
interests. Then, he points
out:
"But in the 1950s, thrilled
by what he saw in the newly
founded state of Israel,
Gross developed a taste for
the unusual phenomena of
bearded Hasidim whirling
around in their ecstatic
dances, and for a variety of
Jewish religious subjects. In
1953 he showed, at New
York's Jewish Museum,
along with some sculptures,
40 watercolors painted in
Israel. And in 1968 he ac-
cepted a commission to
create color lithographs for
a portfolio of watercolors
entitled 'The Jewish Holi-
days.' "
The Abrams volume in-
cludes a number of reprod-
uctions of Gross' Jewish
themes, notably the
Hasidic.
evaluative
Werner's
comments on Gross describe
the artist and evaluate him,
in part:
"... Gross is a cheerful,
optimistic family man
with an overflowing love
of life, who communi-
cates his bubbling
enthusiasm to everyone
who encounters the work
or the worker. If one be-
lieves — as this writer
does — that it is the func-
tion of art to serve as a
bridge between the
creator and his public,
then the oeuvre of Gross
admirably makes it
possible to share with
him all the delights of
human existence, all the
pleasure that tender,
gentle and sensuous man
has felt.
"Thus, unquestionably,
Gross owes his popularity to
a large extent to the fact
that he has, more or less,
concentrated on subject
matter that is pleasant and
within the mental grasp of
nearly everyone.
"But he is not loved only
by people who like 'pretty'
pictures ( or 'pretty'
sculptures, for that matter).
Those who have written
about him include cognos-
centi who would not have
taken notice of him had he
confined himself to the
making of cheerful two- or
three-dimensional illustra-
tions.
"Drawings have been
called the exposed nerve of
art. The stress here is on
sensitivity: in the perfect
control of pencil, pen or
brush; in keeping the proper
balance between freedom
and control; in the juxtapos-
ition of light and dark in an
area — sensitivity, in short,
that almost always enables
this artist to record a fact or
explore an idea in an emo-
tional, rather than a math-
ematically accurate, man-
ner.
"In fact, Gross's art is
diametrically opposed to the
coldness and impersonality
manifest in much recent
art. Intellectual rigidity
and repression are not for
him."
