Gloria Heilman, Heilman-C
Mixed Media Contemporary 'Self Portrait from my Heart' Sculptured Painting

1996

About the Item

Gloria Heilman-C, contemporary woman artist. She is a well known Beverly Hills, California Icon of the woman's art movement. Her work consists of many extreme elements and images including bronze sculptures which depict iconographic rendering of the female body. Self-portraits done in an expressionist style. Many of her works feature the same imagery as seen in her sculptures. She has had her "Women loving Women" art exhibitions in California, New York and Internationally. She is collected and sells much of her work to a jet set celebrity crowd and the New York Andy Warhol Factory crowd. Though references to pornography and blatant self-promotion are combined in the work of Lynda Benglis, Jeff Koons, Andres Serrano, Richard Hawkins and others, there is usually an attendant critique of, or commentary on, feminism, media, representation, appropriation or portraiture. Vanessa Beecroft's recent event in the lobby of NYC's Guggenheim, which utilized bored, nude and nearly-nude models standing around in Gucci heels and underwear, was more reflective than titillating. But such consideration seemed to be lacking in this decadent performance. "It's about women loving women, just like the title says," said the artist to a group of rapt journalists, adding, "and it's about free love."

American Modernist Oil Painting Gestural Landscape WPA Artist Group of 10
By Ben-Zion Weinman
Located in Surfside, FL
Born in 1897, Ben-Zion Weinman celebrated his European Jewish heritage in his visual works as a sculptor, painter, and printmaker. Influenced by Spinoza, Knut Hamsun, and Wladyslaw Reymont, as well as Hebrew literature, Ben-Zion wrote poetry and essays that, like his visual work, attempt to reveal the deep “connection between man and the divine, and between man and earth.” An emigrant from the Ukraine, he came to the US in 1920. He wrote fairy tales and poems in Hebrew under the name Benzion Weinman, but when he began painting he dropped his last name and hyphenated his first, saying an artist needed only one name. Ben-Zion was a founding member of “The Ten: An Independent Group” The Ten” a 1930’s avant-garde group, Painted on anything handy. Ben-Zion often used cabinet doors...
