"Beach"
Oil on canvas
20 x 24 inches
Signed lower right: Aaron Berkman

Provenance: Private collection, USA
An abstract oil painting of people on the beach oil circa 1950-1960.
Aaron Berkman was born in Hartford, Connecticut where his parents had been settled since 1885. He attended the CT League of Art Students from 1919 to 1921 with classmate and lifelong friend, Milton Avery. He studied at the Museum Art School of Boston until 1924 and then traveled in Europe for two years. He was influenced by John Singer Sargent and George Inness.
During the Depression, in 1929 Berkman moved to New York City where he was appointed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to oversee the Federal Art Project’s Contemporary Art Center at the 92nd Street Y, which comprised a 17 member artist faculty. Berkman also taught art and art history there. During this period Berkman established the ACA Gallery in NYC’s West Village - the first Artist Cooperative Gallery in the City. After retiring from the Federal Arts project, he founded the Bercone Gallery in New York in 1965.
In his early years, Berkman had a solo exhibition at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford. Throughout his career he took part in many group exhibitions including at the Brooklyn Museum, the Riverdale Museum, WPA Artists’ 50th anniversary and various NY State and City commercial galleries.
Berkman was primarily a NYC artist but during the summers from 1939 to 1945, he painted in Mohegan Island, ME, Gloucester MA and the Adirondacks. He incorporated the local color and scenery of these locales into his compositions of bucolic landscape or the City’s most elegant hotspot.

Aaron Berkman
Aaron Berkman was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1900. In 1916 Berkman attended the Connecticut League of Art Students, founded by Charles Noel Flagg. Beginning in 1919 he studied under Albertus E. Jones at the Hartford Art School. Berkman was influenced during this time by George Inness and John Singer Sargent and the Old Masters. He received a scholarship to the Museum Art School of Boston in 1921 and then traveled to Europe, remaining there from 1924 through 1925. He spent time in France, Italy, Spain, Holland and Belgium. In 1929 Berkman moved to New York City, continuing a friendship and painting relationship with Milton Avery. He was appointed by the W.P.A. as Director of the WPA Art Center at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Berkman helped established the A.C.A. Gallery in New York City at 52 West 8th St., the first Artist Cooperative Gallery in New York City. He spent summers on Monhegan Island in Maine, Cape Ann in Massachusetts, the Connecticut Shore, Vermont and the Adirondacks. When the WPA ended, the 92nd Street Y became the Y Art Center, with Berkman remaining as the Director. He also taught art classes and lectured on art history. Berkman had many one-man exhibitions and group shows. He wrote two books. Art and Space and The Functional Line and was a columnist for ARTnews. When Berkman retired from the position at the Y Art Center, he established Bercone Gallery, New York City where he continued to paint, teach and exhibit. His work appears in many corporate, private and museum collections.
