23rd and 2nd Ave painting by Ben Benn 1924

1924

About the Item

Artist: Ben Benn, Polish/American (1884 - 1983) Title: 23rd and 2nd Ave, New York City Year: 1924 Medium: Oil on board, signed l.r. Size: 14 x 11.5 in. (35.56 x 29.21 cm) Frame Size: 19 x 17 inches Benn Benn was a pioneer American modernist whose independent style defied stylistic classification. Despite excursions into Cubism and Abstract Expressionism, Benn “seems always to have been a ‘subject’ painter. Considering this, it is remarkable that he remained visible at all during the 50’s and early 60’s, when prejudice against the representational amounted nearly to a proscription of it.”(1) Benn’s prominence in the art world over 6 decades was reaffirmed at a 90th birthday show at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. in 1974.
