The artist Many Benner (1873-1965) grew up in an artistic family as the son of Jean Benner and nephew of the famous Emmanuel Benner. At the age of 16, he entered the École des Beaux-Arts and was soon honoured with high awards and medals.
While his uncle Emmanuel Benner also often painted nudes, but still characterised by naturalism and symbolism, Many Benner transcended models on an ethereal level. Thus, he is able to emphasise the beauty of the body with little colour and resolution forms, but covered by a spell.
Artworks by Benner in public collections: Musée des Beaux-Arts of Mulhouse, Charleville and Le Havre.
The offered artwork in pastel shows a beautifully stylised seated nude, in the artist's signature style.
