Henry Benson (1930-1998) American, Impressionist Beach Scene Textured Oil on Canvas. Depicts a child reaching into the bucket on a beach, with their reflection in the water below. Signed bottom right. Very thin metal frame. Overall Size: 36 1/4 x 18 1/4 in. Henry Benson was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1930 and first began painting in his twenties, drawn to Impressionism. He developed an innovative technique which produced work with a raised surface that had an almost “sandy” texture, and his work was frequently compared to Pointillism. His subjects were most often beach scenes and children, which originated with yearly trips to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he moved in the 1970s. He continued to paint out of his garage and sell his works at art fairs around the country until his death in 1998, and his works are still highly sought by collectors for their unique style and remarkable detail.
