about Untitled Structure

A detailed and vibrant pastel on paper drawing by Cubist Benjamin Benno.

Benno has staged this strange and multicolored structure in an empty landscape against a blue sky. The work is signed and dated and nicely framed. 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.
