AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
NO RESERVE
Benyamin (Benjamin) Long (Israeli, active late 20th century)
Untitled Cubist Composition, c. 1970s–1990s
Original mixed-media painting on canvas featuring Long's highly distinctive tactile surface created with coconut fibers and acrylic paint. The composition depicts abstracted human and animal forms rendered in a vibrant Cubist style, using bold geometric planes outlined in black with rich reds, blues, greens, pinks, and ochres. The heavily textured surface produces a sculptural relief that is characteristic of the artist's work.
Long's paintings blend the visual language of Picasso-inspired Cubism with Surrealist and Meso-American influences, incorporating stylized figures, birds, symbolic forms, and decorative motifs. His innovative use of coconut fiber as both texture and support has made his work immediately recognizable among collectors of late 20th-century modern art.
Signed lower right, "B. Long."
Medium: Mixed media (acrylic with coconut fiber) on canvas
Support: Stretched canvas
Dimensions: Approximately 76 × 61 cm
Condition: Good overall. Minor losses to the applied coconut fiber texture and light edge wear consistent with age and handling. Canvas remains stable and displays well.
