Jsreal Ben Neumann [JBN] was born in Austria in 1887. In 1910, he opened his first book and art store in Berlin, displaying works by such artists as Edvard Munch. By 1922, branches were opened in Bremen, Düsseldorf, and Munich. Neumann moved to New York City in 1923; a year later he would open a gallery, first called J.B. Neumann's Print Room and later the New Art Circle gallery, which was also known as a meeting spot for artists and art lovers. He championed progressive living artists, including Wassily Kandinsky, Max Beckmann, Paul Klee, and Georges Rouault. His wife, Elsa Schmidt, was a well-known artist who worked in mosaics. In addition to being an art dealer, Neumann was an art critic, author, lecturer, and publisher. Periodicals issued by Neumann include Bilderhefte (Berlin, 1920-1922) and Art Lover (New York, 1926-1945, 1959). Neumann died in Rye, New York on April 28, 1961.
The Papers date from 1914-1964, and are contained in thirteen document boxes (twelve 5" boxes; one 2.5" box), one archives storage box (10.5"×12.5"×15.5"), and three reels of microfilm. Materials include correspondence to and from Neumann, unpublished manuscripts, photographs of works of art, and publications issued by Neumann.
Material on R. Bresdin, Beckmann, Kandinsky, Klee, Rouault, and Munch is particularly well represented in the Papers.
The records are open for research and contain no restricted materials.
