Rainer Küchenmeister Art

German, 1926-2010

Incarcerated for three years at Moringen Concentration Camp in 1942, aged 16, for his activity in the resistance movement, Rainer Küchenmeister survived thanks to the encouragement and support of a fellow inmate, whose face he never saw. Küchenmeister's subject matter tragic figures, faceless gladiators which are strong yet frail seems to have evolved from his personal experience. The artist shot to fame in 1962 at the "Documenta III Kassel" exhibition. He was subsequently named Professor at the Academy of Arts in Karlsruhe and a member of the Berlin Academy but decided to settle in France. Küchenmeister was tutor and master to Anselm Kiefer and championed his work. Küchenmeister exhibited at the Carnegie International, Venice Biennale and São Paulo Art Biennale.

By Ben-Zion Weinman
Located in Surfside, FL
Watercolor painting of standing prophet or Rabbi, Judaica artwork Born in 1897, Ben-Zion Weinman celebrated his European Jewish heritage in his visual works as a sculptor, painter, and printmaker. Influenced by Spinoza, Knut Hamsun, and Wladyslaw Reymont, as well as Hebrew literature, Ben-Zion wrote poetry and essays that, like his visual work, attempt to reveal the deep “connection between man and the divine, and between man and earth.” An emigrant from the Ukraine, he came to the US in 1920. He wrote fairy tales and poems in Hebrew under the name Benzion Weinman, but when he began painting he dropped his last name and hyphenated his first, saying an artist needed only one name. Ben-Zion was a founding member of “The Ten: An Independent Group” The Ten” a 1930’s avant-garde group, Painted on anything handy. Ben-Zion often used cabinet doors (panels) in his work. Other members of group included Ilya Bolotowsky, Lee Gatch, Adolf Gottlieb...
