Ben Benn
Seated Nude, Pastel Drawing on Paper by Ben Benn

1923

About the Item

Artist: Ben Benn, Polish/American (1884 - 1983) Title: Seated Nude Year: 1923 Medium: Pastel on Paper, signed and dated l.r. Size: 24 x 18 in. (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Frame Size: 31 x 24 inches Benn Benn was a pioneer American modernist whose independent style defied stylistic classification. Despite excursions into Cubism and Abstract Expressionism, Benn “seems always to have been a ‘subject’ painter. Considering this, it is remarkable that he remained visible at all during the 50’s and early 60’s, when prejudice against the representational amounted nearly to a proscription of it.”(1) Benn’s prominence in the art world over 6 decades was reaffirmed at a 90th birthday show at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. in 1974.
