Benjamin G. Benno
Cubist Mother, Pastel on Paper Drawing by Benjamin Benno

1933

About the Item

This cubist work on paper in bold monochrome pastel is almost a piece of optical art thanks to the series of geometric shapes that build out the bodies of the two figures. In the foreground, the shape of a woman peers up at a grotesque assemblage that almost seems to crouch to avoid hitting a cavernous ceiling. This dynamic piece is nicely framed in a dark wood frame. Cubist Mother Benjamin Benno, American (1901–1980) Date: 1933 Pastel On Paper Size: 24 x 18 in. (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Frame Size: 34.5 x 26.5 inches
