about Spirit of 1942
Benjamin Benno's vibrant rendering of the bust of a woman contains impressive linework and mesmerizing hues of brilliant teal and blue.
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.
