about The Amazon
Pasted onto the geometrically-designed canvas, Benjamin Benno’s mixed-media collage is a captivating example of the artist’s more avant garde work transforming regular objects into pieces of modern art.
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.
