about Lady with the Military Medals
Benjamin Benno, American (1901 - 1980) - Lady with the Military Medals.
Year: 1940, Medium: Watercolor and ink on paper, signed and dated, Size: 24 x 14.38 in. (60.96 x 36.51 cm), Frame Size: 27 x 21 inches, Description: Angular and harsh, this abstracted portrait of a woman by Benjamin Benno is reflective of the artist's more radical avant garde work. Featuring visible, rough-hewn brushstrokes, Benno's watercolor conveys a sense of urgency and energy to the viewer. 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.
