By Suzanne Muchnic, Special to the Los Angeles Times

Karl Benjamin, a painter of dazzling geometric abstractions who established a national reputation in 1959 as one of four Los Angeles-based Abstract Classicists and created a highly acclaimed body of work that celebrates the glories of color in all its variations, has died.  He was 86.

Benjamin died Thursday of congestive heart failure at his home in Claremont, said his daughter Beth Marie Benjamin

Benjamin was a longtime resident of Claremont and a vital part of the college town's art community.  After retiring from a 20-year teaching career in public elementary and middle schools, he was a professor and artist-in-residence at Pomona College from 1979 to 1994 and taught at Claremont Graduate University.  Through most of those years he also pursued an abiding interest in orchestrating intricate arrangements of color on canvas.
