Ephraim Rubenstein : news

One of Ephraim’s landmark paintings from the 1990′s , “Still Life with Burned Books”, will appear on the cover of two different books this year. The first, is German scholar Mona Korte’s study of scenes of book burning in Western Literature, “Essbare Lettern, Brennendes Buch”. The book will be published in Berlin by Fink later this year.

The second is Lory Bedikian’s prizewinning collection of new poems, “The Book of Lamenting”. The collection won the 2010 Levine Prize for Poetry, and will also be published later this year. Congratulations to both of these amazing writers on their achievement.

Several of Ephraim’s cityscapes from his “Silvercup” series will be featured in “The Buildings of New York” at George Billis Gallery in Chelsea this summer.

In this workshop Ephraim will provide training in direct plein-air landscape painting working on-location in various areas of Central Park. The workshop will be open to both beginning students who have never worked outside before, and also to more advanced students who wish to refine their plein-air handling. The course will address such issues as the difference between direct and indirect approaches to oil painting in the landscape, topographical versus atmospheric emphasis, and the notion of space composition. The class will offer practice in handling changing light and weather conditions as well. Students must have a folding French easel, or something similar.

Section 1: Monday–Friday, June 13-17, 8:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Section 2: Monday–Friday, August 8-12, 8:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Fee per section: $400 (5 sessions). Fee for both sections: $750 (10 sessions)
