Shahn, Ben Biography American artist whose work addresses social issues. Ben Shahn was born in Kaunas, Russia and arrived in the United States in 1906. Ben Shahn's artwork is notable for its strong, flat colors and clear, incisive lines. He first gained recognition with The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti (1931-1932, Whitney Museum, New York City). He often painted immigrants, the poor, sweatshops, and unflattering portraits of politicians. In the 1930s, Ben Shahn worked as a photographer for the U.S. Farm Security Administration documenting rural poverty. Beginning in the mid-1950s, his work became more reflective and less concerned with social criticism You can buy Ben Shahn fine art reproduction oil paintings at Galerie Dada.
