Henry Benson Art

Henry Benson was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1930 and died in Florida in 1998. He later moved to Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. Upon finishing high school, he joined the US Marine Corp and fought in the First Marine Division of the Korean War. Benson attended art school in Paris, France and New York City. He worked at the American Journal and the New York Stock Exchange in addition to being an accomplished professional artist. He moved to Boca Raton, Florida in 1975 and worked as an Impressionist painter. He loved people and always had a great sense of humor. Benson used an innovative technique, which produced work that was Impressionistic, with a raised surface that had an almost sandy texture. This was his signature style of painting. The technique involved applying a rough-textured surface to the canvas before starting his paintings. Benson was best known for his beach scenes with children as well as his lifestyle scenes of New York City.

What is the history of JW Benson watches?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
The history of JW Benson watches begins in 1855, when watchmaker J. W. Benson established a workshop in London. Within a decade, he was well-known throughout the city for his finely crafted watches and clocks. Following the founder's death in 1878, his sons, Alfred and Arthur, took over the company. Under their leadership, JW Benson unveiled a watch strap resistant to moisture and dust. It also received royal commendations from Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales and the kings of both Denmark and Siam. During World War I, JW Benson contributed to the war effort by producing trench watches for soldiers. The business thrived during the following years, but its factory was bombed during World War II. JW Benson never resumed production of watches after the war but continued to run a shop on Bond Street, where it sold jewelry and timepieces crafted by other makers. This store closed in the 1980s when it was bought out by Mappin & Webb. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of JW Benson watches.
