Rochelle Feinstein
Biography
Rochelle Feinstein (New York, 1947) lives and works in New York.
She is a legendary painter whose work and ideas about abstraction have influenced generations of artists. Over the past four decades, she has deflated the dogmas of modernism with humor and verve, liberally borrowing from different schools of painting, as well as other mediums, including drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video, and installation. Though it takes myriad forms, her singular project always centers painting within culture at large. She moves freely through the history of late 20th-century painting, rejoicing in materiality while poking holes in the notion of pure painting.Feinstein is also Professor Emerita of Painting and Printmaking at Yale University.Her work is part of the public collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Muscarelle Museum of Art in Williamsburg, the Amorepacific Museum of Art in Munich, the Mt.
