Abe Weiner

Art Appreciation

American artist Abe Weiner was born on November 5, 1917. The surreal realist artist is known for using nature as a common theme in his artwork.

As described in his biography by Jonathan Weiner, "Weiner’s work often reflects the dark themes of life itself, decay and destruction, struggle and anguish. Yet the contrasting theme in his paintings has always been regeneration, rebirth, renewal and hope. That message with its timeless thread is one we need to hear today and tomorrow."

You can see his many wonderful work HERE.
