about Symphony in Blue
Benjamin Benno’s vivid abstract composition offers the viewer a glimpse into the imaginative and playful work of the artist.
With its curving forms and textured surfaces, the piece is both dynamic and calming. 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.
