about A Charm Against All Evils
The full title, as written by the artist on the verso, reads "A charm against all evils and misfortunes, including ignorance and stupidity".
By the early 1930s he had established a reputation as a member of the international avant-garde and exhibited with the most significant European artists including Paul Klee, Max Ernst, Wassily Kandinsky, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Hans Arp, and Fernand Léger. Pablo Picasso sponsored Benno’s first one-man show in Paris in 1934.
