about Disaggregation de Notre Monde
Infused with lively hues of contrasting warm and cool colors, Benjamin Benno’s Cubistic depiction of a nude woman is a highly-abstracted example of his Modernist work.
The full title is "Désagrégation de notre monde positiviste, autoritaire, impuissante, sophiste aveugle et cache". 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.
