Beschreibung:
This book is about growing up with a father, a superb painter and teacher of art, who found meaning in almost all discarded artifacts. In this memoir Feinstein explores the bizarre thread of creativity and destruction, offering gratitude for an artistic legacy while confronting the physical and emotional wreckage his father left behind.
In this memoir, Sascha Feinstein recounts life with his father, Sam Feinstein, who was both a brilliant
artist and a hoarder of monumental proportions. He collected only uncollectible objects—artifacts that
required him to give them importance—and at the time of his death in 2003, his hoarding had fundamentally
destroyed all three of his large homes. Despite this, Sam Feinstein was a remarkable painter and art teacher. This strange double helix of creativity and destruction guides these collage-like reflections. Like his students’ canvases—paintings inspired by enormous still lifes constructed from the world’s refuse—this book incorporates myriad sources in order to create a more layered experience for the reader. The final result is the depiction of a painter with the highest artistic ideals who nevertheless left behind an incalculable amount of physical and emotional wreckage.
