RUSSIAN MIXED MEDIA PAINTING BY EUGENE BERMAN
Eugene Gustavovitch Berman, Russian, American, French, Italian, 1899 to 1972, mixed media, watercolor and gouache, painting on canvas, Dead Men Against The Wall, 1962. Signed with a monogram and dated lower to the center. Framed. Provenance: Museum of fine art the University of Utah. Eugene Berman is known for the Surreal genre and landscape painting, From Russia, Eugene Berman became a painter known for his imaginary landscapes and for his Baroque stage set designs including for ballets and the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In France, he became a leader among the Neo Romantic artists, who defied the prevalent abstract movements including Cubism and Futurism and focused on expression of human emotion. He and his peers, including Georgio De Chirico, depicted a fantasy world of loneliness and isolation that existed only in their minds. He was fascinated by solitary figures amidst ruins, and much of his work explored space and the passing of time. He painted with oil on canvas and achieved the smooth effect of the Old Masters. In his landscapes, he placed his figures and architectural structures very precisely with an order that encouraged viewer contemplation and did not offer distractions. One of a kind artwork.
