Item Description

Yohanan Simon aka Hans Yohanan was a German - Israeli painter born in Berlin in 1905.
From early on Simon began his studies with art world icons including Max Beckmann at the Art Academy in Munich.
By "1928, Simon won a scholarship from the Jewish community in Berlin to study painting in France" in Paris at the prestigious Ecole Beaux-Arts.
In Paris he studied at the Ecole Beaux-Arts. By, "1934, Simon was sent to work for Vogue in New York and while there worked with the artist Diego Riviera on his huge mural in Rockefeller Center. He moved back to Paris in 1935." By 1936 Simon had left Europe and immigrated to 1936.
The artists early work often has elements of Social realism, whereas this painting is more in the style of his later works which delved more into abstraction, expressionism and color under the influence of iconic artists Fernand Leger, Diego Rivera and other Fauvists.

The current painting on canvas has a wonderful surrealistic, colorful aesthetic. The painting falls into the period of the artists work when he was being influenced by Fauvist and other color field artists. The scene is one of unfamiliar organic shapes in bright and vivid colors on the textural canvas.
