May 31 - July 27
Curated by Patricia Stark Feinstein
This exhibition will reveal the seventy-year trajectory of Sam Feinstein's development from realism through expressionism, cubist expressionism, Hofmann-influenced abstraction to Feinstein's own unique language of color—vibrating and luminous — in his monumental, mature abstract paintings.
Born in Russia and raised in Philadelphia, Feinstein taught and supervised classes at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and filmed the museum's first art documentary. He later moved to New York and studied with Hans Hofmann, whom he filmed in 1950 to create his documentary, Hans Hofmann. Feinstein taught at Pratt Institute, wrote for Art Digest magazine and exhibited his paintings in New York, Philadelphia and Provincetown until he withdrew from the exhibition world in 1960 to dedicate himself to refining his principles and teaching for the remainder of his life. Feinstein spent his summers on Cape Cod, during the 1950s in Provincetown, and in 1960 moved to Whig Street in Dennis where he painted and taught for the next 42 years.
Curator Patricia Stark Feinstein, a painter, teacher, curator, lecturer and former faculty member at Riverdale Country School in New York City, will expand upon the art and philosophy of her husband in related events during the show. She studied with Sam Feinstein and taught with him for eighteen years. She has written a book on her husband's work that will be released by the award-winning Fields Publishing in conjunction with this exhibition.
