Biography
[edit]Grossbard attended and graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in Poland. She worked with watercolor and oil paints, as well as producing lithographs.[2]
In 1938, she immigrated to Palestine. After resettling there, she served with the British Army and later settled in Haifa and married the painter Yehoshua Grossbard.[3]
In 1954, she studied at the atelier of André Lhote in Paris. She was a member of the Ein Hod artists' colony in Haifa and of the Artists and Sculptors Association in Israel.[2]
In 1966, "Lines and Trees," a collection of her work, was published.[2] Her work includes mountainscapes of the post-Six Day War period through the 1970s. Her later work was much more abstract.[3]
