Easelheads Gallery proudly hosts the show for the acclaimed Expressionist
artist Abby Rubinstein.

For the third year, new works, as well as vintage pieces will be brought to
the walls of Easelheads Gallery by Director Susan Hopkins., "Abby continues
to explore love and human relationships in the way only this artist can.
Her proportion, poise and polish continue to grow.  

In all ways Ms Rubinstein is the consummate artist.  In her daily routines
-she paints each morning from 9AM to noon- in her quest for the truth and in
her inability to allow a misstatement pass, when it is on an important
issue.   Her intellect as well as her wisdom is immediately apparent in her
work".  

Rubinstein was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1928, and was admitted to the
Brooklyn Museum scholarship program at age 15.  At the museum she studied
with the masters who lived and painted in those Early years in New York
City: Ruffino Tamayo, Joseph Presser, George Pippin, Francis Chris, and the
water colorist, John Bindrum

She moved to Los Angeles in 1950. In1966 she and  her late husband, artist
Jules Rubinstein ,settled  in Ajijic Jalisco Mexico, at the time, a small
fishing village and art colony.

There they painted for the next ten years and developed reputations as fine
artists that brought a steady stream of international visitors and art
collectors to their home and studios.

Soon noted by the city of Guadlajara as valuable assets, they were offered
shows in the Mexican American Institute and the Municipal Gallery. During
the 1968 Olympics, they were chosen to represent that city's cultural team
with an inaugural joint exhibition of their paintings. In nine days over
three thousand people came to view this exhibition. 

In 1976 the couple emigrated  to Israel where Abby was invited to lecture on
Expressionist art and its philosophy. The couple also traveled extensively
throughout Israel and showed slides of their work while keeping Jerusalem as
their home base. 

The artists then returned to California and settled in Visalia where Abby
continues to paint , lecture and exhibit her work.

Her paintings are in collections in 20 states of the United States as well
as in Mexico, Israel, Germany and Canada.

Jose Luis Meza Inda, Guadalajara art critic for the newspaper, "El
Informador" , wrote of the artist, who was exhibiting at the Mexican
American Institute,"...the seriousness, the rigor, the knowledge of
painting, the imagination, the search for profound comunications are the
trademark of the work of this New York painter whose art is worthy of your
visit".

Show to hang through October 31st.
