Hyman Bloom (1913-2009) and Varujan Boghosian (1926-2020) were artists in Robert Eshoo's Circle. Varujan and Bob grew up around the same time in New Britain, Connecticut and were close friends. They regularly traded art pieces for their private collections and were featured in a combined exhibition of assemblages, constructions and paintings at the Currier Gallery of Art.

Hyman Bloom met Bob via the Currier Gallery of Art in the 1950s. Close friends, they were known to tour through a slaughterhouse, viewing the surreal beauty of slaughtered animals' cadavers, to influence their drawings and paintings, noting man's predatory nature. The drawings and paintings Bob had (in this sale) were from a trade he made with Hyman of his own artwork.

Early in their careers, Hyman, Eshoo and Boghosian all exhibited artworks at the Swetzoff Gallery in Boston in the 1950's and 1960's. All three have pieces in the permanent collection on view at the Currier Museum in Manchester and in many other prominent galleries nationwide.
