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.

Untitled - Roof Top View, Painting by Joan Nelson
By Joan Nelson
Located in Long Island City, NY
This painting by Joan Nelson depicts a sepia-toned scene placed behind the walls of a dark brown building. Potentially depicting a rooftop, the nearly black ground is flanked on the left by tall, dark, and uniform buildings. Along the right is a cement wall topped by a chain link fence. The buildings and wall are both stopped in the distance by a dark border wall and above the whole scene is a foggy white sky.
