Benjamin F. Berlin

American, b. 1887

Benjamin F. Berlin is an American Surrealism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

This American painter made dream-like scenes where shapes drift like smoke. In Untitled (Surreal Abstraction) the pale forms float against a soft grey field, quiet and slow. Figures shows a cluster of silhouettes that feel both familiar and strange, as if half-remembered. His brush stayed light, letting colors blur at the edges. Walk next to Figures and let the shapes guide your eye across the canvas.
