BENJAMIN KOPMAN (1887 - 1965)
Painter, Illustrator and printmaker Benjamin Kopman was born in Vitebsk, Russia and emigrated to the United States with his family in 1903. It was a center of religious Judaism with a strong Judaic Chabad presence, but also had a very active Zionist community. In 1905 Kopman enrolled at the National Academy of Art where he remained for 6 semesters.
In New York Kopman was tutored by Abel Pann, who had studied at the Yehuda Penn's Vitebsk Academy (where Marc Chagall had studied). In 1905 Kopman enrolled at the National Academy of Art. A leading American Jewish painter, his first major exhibition was at the annual exhibition of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1914, followed by several others during the 1920s. Kopman worked for the WPA as an artist during the Depression and had solo exhibitions in the late 1930s and 1940s. His paintings and prints are distinctive for their primitive character and their use of heavy black outlines that suggest the influence of Henri Rousseau and Georges Rouault.
He also exhibited with Jennings Tofel and Claude Buck as part of the Introspective group of painters. In 1925 Kopman and Tofel founded the Jewish Art center which held exhibitions for two seasons in the East Village. Kopman worked for the WPA FSA as an artist during the Depression. He enjoyed solo exhibitions at the New Art Circle in 1937, ACA Galleries in 1945, Phillips Memorial gallery in Washington D.C. in the same year, and several others venues in future years. His themes include American views, Great Depression and Social Realist scenes as well as Judaica scenes.
Kopman’s work is held in the collections of many institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Brooklyn Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Art Institute of Chicago, Museum of Modern Art, New York City
and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C. and in galleries in many other American cities, and also at the Ein Harod Museum in Israel.

- Screenprint Serigraph Art Print WPA Artist NYC Frank Kleinholz Children PlayingBy Frank KleinholzLocated in Surfside, FLFrank Kleinholz (Brooklyn, 1901 - 1987) 1963 Children playing in park Screenprint, serigraph Born in Brooklyn, New York, Frank Kleinholz was a painter based in New York City whose work spanned several art movements including Expressionism and Social Realism. His work was strongly influenced by Max Beckmann, is a late survival of the social commentary expressionism of the WPA era; His early lithograph works were intensely personal and reflected the influence of the Depression and the World Wars, but his palette lightened as he increasingly focused on families and the bonds between adults and children. He was contemporary of William Gropper and Ben Shahn. As the son of a blind father and hard-working mother who supported the family with a delicatessen. From early childhood, he had to earn a living and sold newspapers and ran errands for local businesses. He graduated from Fordham Law School, and at age 23 was admitted to the bar. In the mid-1930s, while practicing insurance as well as law, he began oil painting and printmaking with teachers including Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Sol Wilson. He gained quick recognition and between 1941 and 1980 participated in numerous exhibitions including the National Academy of Design, the Brooklyn Museum and the Worcester Art Institute. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Kleinholz graduated Fordham Law School in 1923. In the 1930s, he began studying painting under Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Sol Wilson. He quickly rose to prominence with the inclusion of Abstract art in the Carnegie Institute exhibition of 1941. His painting Backstreet won a purchase prize by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Chronology His strongest influences were American Social Realists Reginald Marsh and Philip Evergood, the German Expressionists George Grosz and Kathe Kollwitz, the Mexican muralists Diego Rivera, Jorge Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and the early 20th century Paris Modernists. Described by Newsweek as a "Brooklyn-born Gauguin," Kleinholz focused on urban life in New York, Brooklyn and Coney Island, as well as intimate, social realist scenes of parents and children, watercolor paintings of flowers and birds, and sunbathers. His political works include anti war paintings...Category
