about Fashionable Woman
Pencil sketch by American artist Benjamin Benno.
A woman in the fashionable dress of the 1930s strikes a pose for this quick drawing. 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.
