Visiting Artist: Rochelle Feinstein

Rochelle Feinstein explores and collapses the history of painting, including text-based work, Neo-Expressionism, and collage, to create her distinctive and varied oeuvre. In recent years, Feinstein has reworked her older pieces, collaging photographs on top of old paintings and presenting slides of early work with text scrawled over the image. This retrospective mode prompts questions about individual artistic style and how we value and perceive art through the lens of authorship. Feinstein was appointed to the Yale University faculty in 1994 as professor of Painting and Printmaking, and became Professor Emerita in 2017. Her work has been widely exhibited in the U.S. and internationally. Part of the Tuesday Night MFA Lecture Series at BU School of Visual Arts.
