Arnold Gross (Hungarian: Gross Arnold; 25 November 1929 - 22 January 2015) was a Romanian-born Hungarian graphic artist and painter known for richly detailed, hand-coloured etchings that depict a densely populated fairy-tale world of gardens, small towns and imaginary cities. Born in Turda in historical Transylvania, Romania, he became one of the best-known and most widely collected Hungarian graphic artists and was regarded as a renewer of the etching medium in Hungary. Gross received the Kossuth Prize, the Munkácsy Mihály Prize and the title Artist of the Nation, and from 1993 he was a member of the Széchenyi Academy of Literature and Arts. He died in Budapest on 22 January 2015.
