Max Ginsburg

By Catherine Mills

As a painter who is tumbling around in the shadows of artists like Mr. Ginsburg, this is a wonderful, encapsulation of a man's work, life and career. Beautifully photographed, with detail shots so you can see the paint, and how it is applied. It covers everything from very personal work using his family as subject matter, all the way through his illustration work. In other words it encompasses all the reasons we paint, to capture personal feelings and passions and earning a living with your 'creative' talents. Still life, figurative studies, urban scenes, vendors and people! This man loves his city and "sees" people... We are observed and captured in all our guises, from noble to venal, in simple compositions and complex multi figure tableaux all painted from models and life. Mr. Ginsburg has tackled difficult, political subject matter, expressing his views in powerful, challenging pieces that speak his truth in spite of controversy. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to try to understand masterful painting, anyone who loves New York, or anyone interesting in the human condition.

Lovely reproductions of works by this master painter and illustrator who is well known for his social realism. The book design is excellent as well.
