Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Ben-Zion, also known as Ben-Zion Weinman (1897–1987)[1] was a Russian-born American painter, printmaker, sculptor, educator, and poet. He was a member of "The Ten" group of expressionist artists.[1]

Early life

Ben-Zion was born on July 8, 1897, in Starokostiantyniv, Russian Empire (present-day is Ukraine).[2] His father, Hirsch Weinman was a Jewish cantor, and initially he wanted to enter the rabbinate.[3][4] In 1909, the family moved to Galicia.[5] At age 17, he travelled to Vienna to study art.[3] He had been rejected from entering the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna due to antisemitism.[3] Early in his career, he wrote fairy tales and poems in Hebrew under the name "Benzion Weinman".[1]

Career

He immigrated to the United States in 1920 after the death of his father, and started by teaching Hebrew language.[1][3] When he started painting he dropped his last name and started hyphenating.[1] His first large scale painting was Friday Evening (1933), depicting his family's Sabbath dinner table.[3] Starting in 1935, many of his paintings were expressionist versions of reinterpreted biblical scenes.[6][3] His first solo exhibition was in 1936 at the Artists' Gallery in New York City.[3][7] His early artwork was primarily done in oil paint, watercolors, and intaglio printmaking.[6] He was largely a self-taught artist.[6]

From 1936 until 1942, he was a founding member of "The Ten" expressionist artist group,[7] which also included the artists Mark Rothko, Шаблон:III, Adolph Gottlieb, Ralph Rosenborg, Louis Schanker, Joseph Solman, Nahum Tschacbasov, and Ilya Bolotowsky.[1][3] The mission of the art group was, "to protest against the reputed equivalence of American painting and literal painting."[8]

From the 1930s to the 1960s, Ben-Zion taught art (through the Works Progress Administration) at Cooper Union and other locations.[5]

In the 1950s, he began working in welded iron sculptures.[1] In 1959, the Jewish Museum in New York City held a retrospective exhibition of his work.[7]

Death and legacy

Ben-Zion died on January 23, 1987, in New York City.[1] He was survived by his wife Lillian (née Dubin).[1]

Ben-Zion's works are in the Smithsonian American Art Museum,[2] the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[1] the Museum of Modern Art,[1] the Israeli National Maritime Museum,[1] the Art Institute of Chicago,[9] the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art,[10] the National Gallery of Art,[11] the Whitney Museum of American Art,[12] The Phillips Collection,[13] the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden,[14] and the Print Collection at the New York Public Library.[15]
