\""Feet<\/a>

“Feet Up,” a 2013 painting in polymer emulsion on honeycomb panel, 23.75 by 19 inches, by Robert Feintuch. The painting is in the collection of the Bates Museum of Art.<\/p><\/div>\n

The old maxim says, “Show ’em, don’t tell ’em.” But Robert Feintuch, senior lecturer in Bates’ art and visual culture department, is doing both in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Celebrated for quirky, psychologically pointed depictions of the male form that are anything but heroic, Feintuch has four recent images in the group show Intimacy in Discourse: Reasonable and Unreasonable Sized Paintings <\/a><\/em>at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City, N.J.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, if you’re in Chicago on Nov. 3, swing by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to hear Feintuch discuss his work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reviewed in the Dec. 23 Forbes<\/em><\/a>, the Mana show explores artists’ motivations for making small paintings \u2014 in this case meaning works of, say, two or four square feet \u2014 and viewers’ reactions to them.<\/p>\n

Feintuch is one of the 18 artists who typically work on this scale.<\/p>\n

While the Mana show offers the “Reasonable Sized” works, a\u00a0concurrent show of the “Unreasonable Sized Works” is at Manhattan’s School of Visual Arts Chelsea Gallery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
