Lot 0029: RUSSIAN FEMALE PORTRAIT OIL PAINTING BY BEN BENN

41 reviews

Ben Benn, Russian Soviet, American, 1884 to 1983, oil painting on canvas depicting a portrait of a woman. Signed lower right. Framed. Ben Benn is known for the Mod genre, still life, landscape. 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 50s and early 60s when prejudice against the representational amounted nearly to the proscription of it. One of a kind artwork.
