Gross-Bettelheim created around forty prints between ca. 1929-1955 in the media of lithography, etching and drypoint. Limited to small, unpublished editions, her prints depict powerful images of workers, industry, the war economy and urban Cleveland and New York.
Born in Hungary, Gross-Bettelheim studied at the Kunstgew-erbeschule in Vienna beginning in 1919, the Akademie der Bilden-den Kunste in Berlin and L'Ecole des Beaux Arts, Grande Chaumière in Paris in 1922-24. She was exposed to a wide variety of Euro-pean art, including that of her teachers Emil Orlik and Karl Hofer, and the Russian Constructivists. She moved in 1925 to Cleveland, Ohio, where she lived most of her life. She made prints for the WPA in Cleveland from around 1935-1937.
