Ira Spanierman discusses recently rediscovered artist Gershon Benjamin (1899-1985). In Contemplation, ca. 1929, Benjamin juxtaposes a small figure with a vast sea and rocky outcropping, giving an emotional quality to the abstract canvas. Benjamin, a close friend of the modernist painter Milton Avery, (1885-1965), probably painted Contemplation in Gloucester, MA, where both he and Avery were known to have painted in the summer.

Spanierman Gallery, LLC represents the estate of Gershon Benjamin. The 2008 retrospective exhibition at Spanierman Gallery, LLC was accompanied by a 144-page catalogue which features 130 color illustrations.
