Attributed To Benjamin Kopman "The Rabbi"

1963

About the Item

Benjamin Kopman: 1887-1965. Well listed artist born in Russia, but came to U.S. in 1903. He studied at the National Academy of Design in NYC. He has had auction results over $5000 but has sold for much more in galleries. I have seen several examples of his signature where his K looks more like an H. as in this work. Although I am fairly confident this is an important work by him, I am attributing it, as I am not a Kopman expert. Painting is an oil on canvas and measures 29 inches high by 16 1/2 wide. The frame is 34 inches by 21 1/2. The painting has several areas of missing or flaked paint, but there are so many layers of impasto that it does not take away from this beautiful work. Style of this piece reminds me of Modigliani.

  • Le triomphe de la mort, 2000, oil on canvas by Jean Jansem
    By Jean Jansem
    Located in Carouge GE, GE
    Jean Jansem (1920-2013) Le triomphe de la mort, 2000 Huile sur toile Signée en bas à gauche et à droite 150 x 200 cm Bibliographie: Cette oeuvre est enregistrée dans les archives de l’Association des Amis de Jean Jansem. Figurera dans le catalogue critique de l’oeuvre de Jean Jansem actuellement en préparation par l’association des amis de Jean Jansem Historique: L’indigence d’après-guerre et la difficulté inhérente de trouver les matériaux adéquats et/ou habituels, telles les couleurs, très onéreuses alors, ont poussé les artistes figuratifs de l’après-guerre, en corrélation avec les préoccupations de l’époque, à redéfinir les paradigmes de la représentation. Il n’est plus question de chercher un sens mais bien pour les artistes d'étudier l’objet pour son intérêt formel, sa qualité intrinsèque. Le regard de l’artiste devient analytique et dépeint alors l’objet pour ce qu’il est et non plus pour son pouvoir évocateur ou symbolique. La nature morte n’est plus une invitation sensuelle à la ripaille, la pomme ou la pêche n’évoque aucune envie de croquer, la cruche aucune ivresse, la volaille...
