Description:

This limited edition print by Ben-Zion (Benzion Weinman) depicts a Rabbi named Toward Heaven. The portrait is done in etching technique on paper and is signed by the artist himself. The print is an original production from 1962 and is unframed. The subject of the print is biblical and the style is modernism. It is a small sized print, perfect for any art collection. The print is an excellent addition for those interested in art prints and art.

I Found the Following on the Internet:

Born Ben-Zion Weinman in Starokostiantyniv (then part of the Russian empire, now in present-day Ukraine), Ben-Zion came to New York City in 1920. While he started out as a poet in the city’s Yiddish literature scene, in the 1930s Ben-Zion moved to the visual arts, becoming a painter, printmaker, and sculptor. He was a founding member of The Ten, a group of nine modernist artists based in New York.

As Abstract Expressionism became the dominant movement in American art, Ben-Zion rejected what he viewed as the modernist co-option of mysticism. He thought that Barnett Newman’s “zip” paintings, with their references to Jewish mysticism, were impenetrable and esoteric, as was the work of (former The Ten co-member) Mark Rothko.

To Ben-Zion, such an approach made the artwork only accessible for a select few. Art, Ben-Zion wrote, should be comprehensible. For him, art was elevation from chaos; it was the expression of the artist’s inner vision, and the ability to connect with the inner vision of others.
