“Art movements splintered into a thousand shards in the decades of the 1940’s onward. In its complexities I created an individual order, a body of work, of paintings, sculptures, and drawings, evolving into the next century, inspired by its own inferences.” BENJAMIN ABRAMOWITZ

“I used to be envious at the masters. I don’t remember when dissent set in. Shakespeare’s Prospero guided me. “We are such stuff as dreams are made of.” My outlook lost role models. I sought to be a hero, myself.” BENJAMIN ABRAMOWITZ

“Artists have played many roles: Shaman, mythologist, decorator, propagandist, provocateur, hero, and clown. Once they beautified palaces, now they hang out in museums. They do work that no ordinary person would want to live with.” BENJAMIN ABRAMOWITZ
