about Flowers in the Trash
This still life scene shows a rose and several purple irises discarded into a small silver trash bin, surrounded on either side by half-finished canvases and empty frames.
This oil painting is by American Modern artist Benjamin Benno. 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.
