Cathy Bennigson Abstract Paintings

American, b. 1944

Cathy Bennigson is an American abstract artist, born in 1944 and studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston, Massachusetts. She received a BA degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1967 and an MA degree from Stanford University, in 1969. Bennigson’s gorgeous and exuberant abstractions are somewhat evocative of the great painters of the 1940s-60s, like Hans Hoffmann, Giorgio Cavallon and Theodoros Stamos. However, her work is consistently fresh and personal. Her paintings have been shown in numerous exhibitions in New England and are included in many fine private collections.

Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower right; signed, titled, dated verso. 48 x 60 in. 49.75 x 61.75 in. (framed) Custom framed in a solid maple floater, with an heirloom white finish. Provenance Kootz Gallery, New York Collection of John G. and Kimiko Powers, New York/Aspen, CO Prentice-Hall Corporate Art Collection, New York Kyle Morris was born in Des Moines, IA in 1918. After serving in the U.S. Air Force during World War II, he completed M.F.A. programs at both Northwestern and Cranbrook Academy of Art before settling in New York and renting a studio on Mercer Street in downtown Manhattan during the 1950s. Transitioning away from the figurative painting of his formal training, he began to create the bold gestural works that would serve as his hallmark in the ever-growing fraternity of the New York School. Morris’ first major solo exhibition occurred at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis in 1952. This show served as the catalyst for his recruitment onto the rosters of the prominent Stable and Kootz galleries in New York. In 1961, he was included in the Guggenheim’s landmark exhibition, American Abstract Expressionists and Imagists, which surveyed the abstract expressionist movement that would come to dominate contemporary American art...
