about Interieur No. 1
A Cubist depiction of a figure, head in hand, sat at a desk with an inwell and a book before them.
The figure and scene are bathed in blue-green light and in the background, several sculptures and paintings are on display. 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.
