About The Artist: Benjamin Benno

Born in 1901, Benjamin Greenstein Benno was regarded as an artistic prodigy from a young age. After living in Russia for a short time after the death of his mother in 1905, Benno and his father relocated to New York where he was quickly enrolled in the Ferrer Modern School at the young age of eleven. After studying for several years at the progressive school, Benno moved to Paris in 1926 but returned to New York only a few years later in 1931....
