about White, Grays, and Red
An original oil on canvas painting by Benjamin Benno, American.
"White, Grays, and Red" is an apt title for the colors used in the cubist composition. Constructed of several intersecting curved and straight lines, the image almost looks like watercolor rather than oil. This work is framed in dark wood and signed and dated in the lower right. 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.
