Harvey Dinnerstein - A Comprehensive Retrospective

Harvey Dinnerstein
A Comprehensive Retrospective

Gallery Reception
November 06, 2008
6:00 to 9:00 pm

All three rooms of our gallery will be hung with the most comprehensive retrospective ever given to this important American painter. Appropriate as the centerpiece, the largest canvas ever completed by the artist, is "Past and Present," a profound reflection, in one painting, on his entire life and life;s work. From Dinnerstein;s drawings of The Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1956 (on loan from various museums) to small and large oil and chalk pastels and over half a century of paintings, this show attempts to give the visitor the broadest possible perspective on a life that has always been about art, and maybe even insight into the mind and emotions of an artist that had the guts to stick to the integrity of figurative and representational imagery when doing so was tantamount to becoming Ellison;s "Invisible Man" in the New York art world. Five hundred years from now much of the last sixty years of art will be long forgotten, but if there are still people around to appreciate and investigate the world in which we now live, Dinnerstein;s art will convey more of the quotidian and emotional lives of today;s New York City than an investigator could garner from almost any other source.

This exhibition also coincides with the publication of a large and complete monograph book, examining Dinnerstein;s life from the perspective of an art historian, a prominent dealer, a fellow artist and an avid collector.
