About the Item

Artist: Ben Benn, Polish/American (1884 - 1983) Title: Roof Top Year: circa 1920 Medium: Oil on Canvas, signed l.r. Size: 24 x 18 in. (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Frame Size: 33.5 x 27.5 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.
