About the Item

Benjamin Kopman: 1887-1965. Well listed artist born in Russia, but came to U.S. in 1903. He studied at the National Academy of Design in NYC. He has had auction results over $5000 but has sold for much more in galleries. I have seen several examples of his signature where his K looks more like an H. as in this work. Although I am fairly confident this is an important work by him, I am attributing it, as I am not a Kopman expert. Painting is an oil on canvas and measures 29 inches high by 16 1/2 wide. The frame is 34 inches by 21 1/2. The painting has several areas of missing or flaked paint, but there are so many layers of impasto that it does not take away from this beautiful work. Style of this piece reminds me of Modigliani.

Modernist Rabbi Judaica Bold Color "School of 10"
By Ben-Zion Weinman
Located in Surfside, FL
Dimensions w/Frame: 16" x 8" x 1 1/2" 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 (panels) in his work. Other members of group included Ilya Bolotowsky, Lee Gatch, Adolf Gottlieb...
