Sam Feinstein: Immersive Abstraction

Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia, PA
July 25, 2020 – April 11, 2021

Untitled late 1950s 82″ x 72″ Oil on canvas

This solo exhibition reveals to Philadelphia the richness and magnificence of Sam Feinstein’s monumental canvases painted over decades prior to his death in 2003. Widely known in Philadelphia as an award-winning exhibitor during the 1930s-50s, Feinstein withdrew from the exhibition world after 1960 but continued to paint. His private art classes in New York, Princeton, Toronto, on Cape Cod and in his Chancellor Street studio in Philadelphia inspired a multitude of other artists.
