summary
Provenance: Alfred Stieglitz (with his name on stretcher) - The Wehye Gallery - Emma Joy Danna - Prof. James Fraser.
Benjamin Kopman was born in Vitebsk, Russia, and emigrated to the United States in 1903. Kopman enrolled at the National Academy of Art, had his first major exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1914 and worked for the WPA as an artist during the Depression years. His work is distinctive for its primitive character and use of heavy black outlines that suggest the influence of Rousseau and Roualt.
