About this work
Jolán Gross-Bettelheim was born in Hungary and studied in Budapest, Vienna and Berlin. The avant-garde movements of Cubism, Futurism and Constructivism that she encountered in these cities influenced the development of her own style. In 1925 she moved to Cleveland, Ohio in the United States, and between 1928 and 1937 submitted prints to the annual print competition held by the Cleveland Museum of Art, winning numerous prizes. She only made about forty prints during her career, some of the most groundbreaking of which were of industrial and machine-age subjects. She became renowned for these works of modernist-inspired imagery and handling.
