Theresa Ferber Bernstein-Meyerowitz (March 1, 1890 – February 13, 2002) was a Polish-born American artist, painter, and writer.
The only child of European immigrants Isidore and Anne (Ferber) Bernstein, Theresa was born in Krakow on March 1, 1890. She graduated from the Philadelphia School of Design for Women (now the Moore College of Art and Design) in 1911 (the college awarded her an honorary doctorate in 1992). The following year, her father, a textile manufacturer, moved the family to New York City. Bernstein rounded out her art education at the Art Students League, where she studied with William Merritt Chase. In 1919, she married artist William Meyerowitz, a Russian emigre. They had one child, a daughter who died in infancy. Meyerowitz died in 1981.
Although not a formal member of the Ashcan School, Bernstein shared with it a passion for “modern” subject matter, to which she added a radically expressive manner. She embraced urbanism and popular culture with enthusiasm, painting such subjects as the cinema, trolleys and the elevated trains, and Coney Island. She exhibited at the MacDowell Club and had a major show at the Milch Gallery in 1919. Her harbor views and beach scenes painted in blazing Fauve-like color attracted equal interest among the young modernists of Gloucester.
After the 1920s, her reputation waned for many reasons, chief among them a decreased interest in realistic subject matter. There followed a lifetime of steady, consistent work in her signature style—work that was exhibited, reviewed, and (sometimes) purchased, but that did not achieve great critical acclaim. Renewed interest in Bernstein’s art was sparked by the women’s movement, which recognized the quality and originality of her work and her historic contribution to early twentieth-century American art.
As a woman crossing the gender threshold at the beginning of the new century, Bernstein experienced the excitement of that moment but was not spared the indignity of discrimination. Either paying a reluctant compliment or implying criticism, reviewers often described her work as having a “masculine” style. Whatever the gender construction of her style, she saw as a woman, incorporating into her art types and activities ignored by others, such as women at work, women artists, and suffragist parades.
Although Jewish subject matter was not a specialty of Bernstein’s, her works in this genre are among her most profound and moving. Her tropism for community aspects of life led her to depict such subjects as weddings and synagogue services. An ardent Zionist, Bernstein attended the first Zionist meeting in America in Madison Square Garden in 1923, an experience she transformed into the painting Zionist Meeting, New York (1923, National Jewish Fund). Fully assimilated and completely at ease with American culture, Bernstein nevertheless maintained close touch with her Jewish roots and visited Israel many times. Raised in what she referred to as a secular household, she later took on the greater religious observance of her husband.
Works by Theresa Bernstein are scattered across the country in many different venues, from prestigious private collections such as The Manoogian Collection to small personal caches in Gloucester, where, in the early days, she may have bartered a painting for food or fuel oil. The Mannheim, Pennsylvania, post office boasts a Bernstein mural from the 1930s. Major works are also held by the Jewish Museum, the Cape Ann Historical Association, the Museum of the City of New York, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Montclair Art Museum, and the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas.
Provenance: acquired directly from the artist herself in '88.

At an early age Lisa began to draw and paint images of the lush Korean countryside. She loved the colors and beauty of nature. Lisa enjoys painting still-life floral bouquets; water lilies and the colorful countryside of European landscapes with fields of sunflowers, lavender and poppies are some her favorite subject matters. Her use of color is excellent and her technique involves the use of pallet knife work with thick brushstrokes and paint on canvas. This adds a tremendous amount of depth to her original landscape and still-life paintings.
She has won over 7 awards and honors in the National Student Fine Art Competition in Seoul, Korea. She is a Recipient of the Special Prize at both the Competition of Fine Art at Hong-Ik University and the Korean Women Fine Art Exhibition at Sejong Cultural Center, Korea.
