1929

About the Item

Original oil on artist board painting by the Russian/American artist Ben Benn. Signed lower right and signed titled and dated in pencil verso. 1929. Overall in custom contemporary gold gilt gallery frame 16 by 20 inches. Ben Benn (1884-1983) 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.
