About the Item
David Feintstein is a master draughtsman working in the genre of everyday life in New York City. His style is highly original, especially in this work. Here he's used Visitors' Day (probably at his local NYC Public School) to show every manner of female that he can find/create/present. If there's a man in the scene I can't find him. Not even sure any of the children are boys! His variety is endless. Even the chair backs vary from one to the other and every little girl has a different outfit and hairstyle, just like the grownups
This lithograph was made for the NYC-WPA and has the stamp at the lower left; It is signed and titled, in pencil. Usual editions were 25 although Visitor's Day seems to be scarcer than most subjects. There is an impression in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Glue stains from the reverse are showing through at the lower left of the image. These are an indication that the original WPA label affixed in that spot.

Interiors I: Family Reunion — A penetrating scene with a hidden homage to Eadwea
By Peter Milton
Located in Middletown, NY
Interiors I: Family Reunion
1984
Resist ground etching and engraving on BFK Rives wove paper, 20 x 36 inches (501 x 913 mm), full margins. Signed, titled, dated and numbered 49/175 in pencil, lower margin. In excellent condition with minor mat tone. A luminous, rich, and well-inked impression of this haunting image, with astonishing detail and depth. Framed handsomely under museum grade glass with archival materials in a solid wood frame with silver finish. [Milton 107]
Intended to be a stand alone image in its inception, Family Reunion ended up spawning seven additional images, and became a sort of Primo Pensiero in the sprawling, masterpiece suite now known as Interiors. The suite took eight years to complete, and consists of works of varying format, psychological intensity, and subject matter. The thematic darkness in the eight images waxes and wanes, and Milton intentionally included several interlude works to lighten the tension he felt while composing several of the darker images. The first two in the series, Family Reunion, and Hotel Paradise Café, were meant to be companion pieces. The equilibrium of each composition is anchored on a central brooding figure; a man (perhaps based on a Thomas Eakins portrait of the American anthropologist Frank Hamilton...
