about Head of a Woman
A black and white oil painting of a woman, seen with her face in profile and her bare back to the viewer, 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.
