Profile of a Young Woman, Signed Aquatint Etching Print on Paper Jewish Artist

About the Item

Milton Goldstein, was a prominent Bayside artist, won many prestigious awards and taught at Adelphi University. Born in Holyoke, Mass., Goldstein began his career in the arts when he moved to New York to study at the Art Students League of New York in 1939. In 1942 he enlisted in the Army and served in the Pacific as a mapmaker during World War II. While stationed in the Philippines, Goldstein drew sketches and painted watercolors of the cities and people he saw during the war, and 300 of these works were donated to the Military Museum in Washington, D.C. in 1996. "The curator herself drove down from Washington to pick up the art," Mollie Goldstein said. When Goldstein returned to the States, he re-entered the Art Students League under the G.I. Bill and finished his studies in 1949. The year after he was awarded a Guggenheim grant to work on the development of a new color system to make color etchings. The same year he and Mollie Goldstein moved to the Bayside house on 219th Street that would remain their home for the next 54 years. Goldstein later started the Graphic Arts department at Adelphi University in 1953 and was named a full professor of art in 1965, becoming a professor emeritus in 1983. "He was one of the most beloved of instructors at Adelphi," Mollie Goldstein said, showing a President's Medallion the university had awarded him. "We would like to start a scholarship in his name in the Art Department at Adelphi." Goldstein was also a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in England. He gave lectures in many of the Northeast's finest art institutions, including Cooper Union, the Art Alliance in Philadelphia and the Walter Vincent Smith Museum in Springfield, Mass. Known primarily for his print-making and etchings, Goldstein's work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institute, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Carnegie Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and he staged one-man shows throughout the country. Museums and institutions all over the country have hosted collections of his work, including Pennsylvania State University, the Boston Public Library, Teachers College at Columbia University and Brooks Memorial Museum in Memphis, Tenn.

Susan Hall lives and works in Point Reyes Station, California, a town in the heart of the Point Reyes National Seashore. This pristine wilderness area is dominated by a mosaic of bays and ocean, rolling grass lands and forests. It is inhabited by a diversity of wildlife, including over 450 species of birds, mountains lions, deer, bobcats, foxes, and elk. Ms. Hall who is a native of this area returned after spending twenty years in New York City. In her book, “Painting Point Reyes”, Hall says, “Point Reyes is the center of my painting life. Point Reyes has been my life and when I haven’t lived here, it has been an underground stream that spoke to me in dreams and visions.” While living and painting in New York City, Ms. Hall exhibited her work widely in museums and galleries. Among them are the Whitney Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Art; Nancy Hoffman Gallery, Trabia MacAfee Gallery, Phyllis Kind Gallery, Chicago; Ovsey Gallery, Los Angeles.
