About the Item

Pennerton West (American, 1913 - 1965) was a painter, printmaker, and designer, descended from the historical American painter Benjamin West. Born in New York City, she studied at the Art Students League, Cooper Union, and under Hans Hofmann and Ibram Lassaw. In 1946 she joined Stanley William Hayter’s Atelier 17, mastering techniques such as biting out to create expressive, high-relief surfaces. West’s work was included in solo shows at Tibor de Nagy and other galleries, as well as traveling exhibitions organized by the American Federation of Arts and the U.S. State Department. Our Pennerton West, featuring thick impasto exemplary of the New York School, has been professionally restored by Baumgartner in Chicago, preserving its expressive surface and historic impact.
