Artist Talk and Poetry Reading
with Alan Feldman
May 3, 5 – 7PM
Nan Hass Feldman’s paintings, whether oil, acrylic, or mixed
media, are stylized, yet recognizable, and vibrantly colorful. Often intricate,
playful, enlivening and upbeat, her work focuses on the subjects of interiors
and landscapes.

| Nan Hass Feldman, The Chapel on the Cliff |
Inspiration for these new paintings comes from
the artist’s recent experiences on the Greek island of Skopelos and in the
jungle area of Boca de Tomatlan, Mexico.
Nan Hass Feldman’s paintings evoke a
child-like joy, and yet a more sophisticated appreciation of the possibilities
of seeing a subject endlessly – through vibrant color, pattern, texture, and
imagination.
Framingham
artist Nan Has Feldman has had countless solo exhibitions throughout her
distinguished career. Her work is in
numerous corporate and university collections, as well as in the collections of
the Danforth Museum and in private collections in France, England, Italy,
Spain, Japan, and Sweden. She teaches at Danforth Art and the Worcester Art
Museum, as well as in Europe and Mexico, and paints in her studio at Fenway
Studios in Boston.
In conjunction with the exhibit, a Poetry Reading with Alan Feldman,
along with a talk by the artist, will be held May 3, from 5 – 7 PM. Alan Feldman, an award-winning poet, will read from his newly
published chapbook Flowers in Wartime, a collection of 28 short
poems written during the opening months of the Iraq war. A signed limited
edition of Flowers in Wartime ,
illustrated with six paintings by Nan Hass Feldman, will be available for
purchase, with all proceeds to benefit
the scholarship fund at Danforth/Art.
