FEATURED ARTIST - May 2006Harold FeinsteinAn American from Brooklyn, New York, Harold Feinstein currently works and teaches photography in Boston. He believes he has "eyes on the tips of his fingers and fingertips on his eyes." "If I were blind," he says, "I would have been a sculptor."
Harold always felt a connection to Rodin. When he learned that Rodin was nearsighted, and so worked only inches from the stone, he sought to recreate this intense intimacy in his photographs, which were taken with a short focus lens at the Rodin Museum in Paris. "In teaching photography, my basic instruction is "When your mouth drops open, click the shutter!
Feinstein’s photographs have been exhibited by and are represented in the collections of other major museums, including the International Center of Photography, the George Eastman House, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris. His work has appeared in such periodicals as Life, Audubon, Connoisseur, and Popular Photography.
