Ben Norris
Space Series No. 13: Space Cluster

1975

About the Item

Norris, as a teacher, academic, and artist had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and continued to stretch his stylistic methods throughout his career. While known for his bold watercolors, Norris was also an accomplished printmaker, and had much success with his oil and acrylic paintings, and collages. His work, though, always seems to imbue a mystical or spiritual aspect, which Norris spoke of in a 1965 interview for Art in America: “The act of painting is a combination of apprehension of the environment in which we live with the affirmation and the consolidation of the self within this setting. My home-grown Zen is hybridized from Max Ernst’s surrealism, a number of contacts with psychiatry (the healing priesthood of our time), and the Religious Society of Friends, called Quakers.”

Resurrection
By Henry Botkin
Located in Boston, MA
Signed lower left: "Botkin". Henry Botkin (1896-1983) was a mid-century American modernist equally known as a painter, a collage artist, and for his work as a proponent of abstract art. Botkin’s oeuvre can be defined by three distinct styles—School of Paris Modernism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism. While each of the three styles is considered distinct, music can be seen as the common thread throughout his artistic output. In the 1930s, the impact of Gershwin’s opera “Porgy and Bess” is readily apparent in works such as Woman in Boat...
