“Rembrandt is my hero” was a phrase often spoken by Sam Feinstein whose radiant, richly colored paintings appear to be abstract. While the outer look of paintings change, their inner spirit and the means by which this is conveyed have much in common. This slide talk explores the influence of Rembrandt on the work of NYC/Cape artist Sam Feinstein, whose painting “Summertime” was on display at CCMA during the past year.
