Artist Biography
Harvey Dinnerstein (1928-2022) was an American artist born in Brooklyn, New York. In 1955, Dinnerstein made his solo debut in New York with an exhibition at the Davis Galleries in Manhattan. Inspired by the 1956 bus boycott in Alabama, Dinnerstein travelled south to document the Civil Rights upheaval through a series of drawings. This interest in cultural and moral issues continued to inform drawings and paintings that recorded the social unrest of the 1960s. Dinnerstein taught at the School of Visual Arts in New York City from 1965 to 1980, and at the National Academy of Design from 1975 to 1992. He also taught at the Art Students League and received an Honorary Doctorate from the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Connecticut. His work is held by the Butler Institute of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of the City of New York, National Academy of Design, National Museum of American Art, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
