Ginsburg, Max

As a New York city painter with a conscience, Ginsburg offers us a personal, "insiders" view of his City. He identifies with the people he paints. The streets, the subways and the buses are used as vehicles through which he expresses his feelings about the human condition. Ginsburg is a humanist not a sentimentalist. His friend Irwin Greenberg said, "Glamour is anathema to him." For Ginsburg, in the words of John Keats, "Truth is beauty."He is a Social Realist not afraid to paint provocative social issues of our times . He is ?outraged by the war in Iraq, the hypocrisy and lies of our leaders
