Roses with Dutch Landscape

b. 1942, Brooklyn, NY

A pioneer in the SoHo art scene of the 1960s and one of the leaders of the Photorealist movement of the 1970s, Ben Schonzeit is best know for his still life paintings of flowers. He creates large, arresting canvases, which are magically evocative with a Surrealist edge.
