about Bouquet with Mountebank
Oil on paper drawing by American artist Benjamin Benno.
A mountebank is considered to be a person who deceives, often in pursuit of tricking someone out of money. 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.
