Consider how Central Park or any other park habitually is approached, either as a playground for city children who dominate it, or as a pleasure ground for the wealthy class.... Theresa Bernstein discovers that it has a soul, a rugged, undisciplined genius, which commanded respect from the intelligent architect who directed its paths and planted its gardens. We are not in any eighteenth century Versailles when we enter her plate dedicated to the New York park, and climb over the rugous and turbulent surfaces...." (paragraph 8).

Name and age range below. The same information is handwritten on the back of the frame in pen. Condition: Excellent. Overall Size: 21 x 28 in. Sight Size: 12 1/2 x 19 in. Frame Thickness: 1 3/4 in. Theresa Ferber Bernstein-Meyerowitz was born on March 1st, 1890 in Kraków, Poland. She was the only child of Isidore Bernstein, a Jewish textile manufacturer, and his wife Anne (née Ferber) Bernstein, an accomplished pianist. The family emigrated to the United States when Theresa was one year old, settling in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She showed an early interest in art and began learning to draw and paint at a young age. As a young woman, she traveled several times with her mother to Europe, where she was impressed by artists of the new Expressionist movement like Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and Edvard Munch. Bernstein graduated from William D. Kelley School in Philadelphia in 1907, the same year she received a scholarship to the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, now Moore College of Art & Design. There she studied with Harriet Sartain, Elliott Daingerfield, Henry B. Snell, Daniel Garber and others, graduating in 1911 with an award for general achievement (the college awarded her an honorary doctorate in 1992). In 1912 she settled in Manhattan and enrolled at the Art Students League, where she took life and portraiture classes with William Merritt Chase. She attended the 1913 Armory Show, the first large exhibition of modern art in America, and became particularly enamored with the work of Robert Henri, founder of the Ashcan School of American Realism. She met fellow artist William Meyerowitz, who she married in 1919. Their only child, a girl named Isadora, died in infancy. They lived in New York City and began spending summers in Gloucester, Massachusetts in the 1920s. During the Great Depression Bernstein and her husband taught art lessons in their studios and sold graphic designs to supplement their income. In her paintings, Bernstein depicted the major issues of her time, from women’s suffrage and the plight of the poor and immigrants to the World Wars and racial tensions in America and abroad. She also painted many portraits, including Polish musician and politician Ignacy Jan Paderewski, jazz musician Charlie Parker, and entertainer Judy Garland. Her studio near Bryant Park and Times Square allowed her to paint a cross-section of New Yorkers, using large brushstrokes and bold colors to depict the vitality of her subjects. She was part of the Philadelphia Ten, an influential group of female artists, as well as a member of the National Association of Women Artists, the Society of American Graphic Artists, and the North Shore Art Association. Her works were exhibited extensively with the National Academy of Design and the Society of Independent Artists, which she co-founded, and she held over 40 solo exhibitions throughout her lifetime. She authored several books, including a biography of her husband and a journal about their many trips to the Middle East as a foundational part of the Zionist Movement and their efforts to establish the Nation of Israel. She died at Mount Sinai Hospital on February 12th, 2002, just a few weeks before her 112th birthday, and her pieces are still found in museums and galleries around the world.

Theresa Bernstein Meyerowitz (Polish / American, 1890-2002) - Artist in the Garden, Oil on Canvas. Signed. 60x50cm. Provenance: From The estate of Arie Halevi, former CEO of Orde Wingate Institute for Physical Education and Sports. Theresa Ferber Bernstein Meyerowitz was an American artist, writer, and supercentenarian born in Krakow, Poland, and raised in Philadelphia. She received her art training in Philadelphia and New York City. Over the course of nearly a century, she produced hundreds of paintings and other artwork, plus several books and journals. Bernstein and her husband William Meyerowitz, who was also an artist, lived and worked in Manhattan and Gloucester, Massachusetts. She painted portraits and scenes of daily life, plus reflections of the major issues of her time, in a modern style that evolved from realism to expressionism. She was active in several art associations and promoted her husband's work as well as her own. Her artworks are found in dozens of museums and private collections in the United States and abroad. She remained active all her life and was honored with a solo exhibition of 110 art works to celebrate her 110th birthday. Bernstein also authored several books, including a biography of her husband and a journal about their many trips to Israel. She died in 2002, just a couple of weeks short of her 112th birthday. She was the only child of Isidore Bernstein, a Jewish textile manufacturer, and his wife Anne Bernstein, an accomplished pianist. The family emigrated to the United States when Theresa was one year old. She showed an early interest in art and began learning to draw and paint at a young age. As a young woman, she traveled several times with her mother to Europe, where she was impressed by artists of the new Expressionist movement like Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and Edvard Munch. Bernstein graduated from the William D. Kelley School in Philadelphia in June 1907, at the age of 17. The same year, she received a scholarship to the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, now Moore College of Artand Design, where she studied with Harriet Sartain, Elliott Daingerfield, Henry B. Snell, Daniel Garber and others. She graduated in 1911 with an award for general achievement (the college awarded her an honorary doctorate in 1992). In 1912, she settled in Manhattan and enrolled at the Art Students League, where she took life and portraiture classes with William Merritt Chase. She met her future husband William Meyerowitz, in 1917, and they married in Philadelphia. Their only child, a girl named Isadora, died in infancy. They lived in New York City and began spending summers in Gloucester, Massachusetts in the 1920s. In 1923, the couple traveled abroad together. In the beginning, Bernstein sales and reviews were far better than her husband's, but over time, her reputation waned due to a decreased interest in realistic subjects, even though they presented themselves as a painting couple. During the Great Depression, Bernstein and her husband continued to teach in their studios in Manhattan and Gloucester and sold graphics to supplement their income. They became involved in the Zionist movement, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, they visited the country 13 times over 30 years. Until her husband's death in 1981, Bernstein promoted his artwork while creating her own. She stated that she did not feel it necessary to compete with him, as she was not competitive by nature. Bernstein and Meyerowitz were close to two of their nieces, Laura Nyro and Barbara Meyerowitz (aka Barbara DeAngelis), and supported their musical education. Following the death of her husband, Bernstein developed a close relationship with DeAngelis youngest son, Keith Carlson, who documented their relationship for a website in the artist's name that was created by the City University of New York. In 1913, Bernstein attended the Armory Show, the first large exhibition of modern art in America. Bernstein admired the style of Robert Henri, founder of the Ashcan School of American realism, and his way of depicting the everyday drama of the city. She was also influenced by John Sloan, Stuart Davis and others of the movement. According to art historian Gail Levin, Bernstein was for a time more popular than well-known realist Edward Hopper, although Bernstein's style over time tended more toward expressionism. However, unlike abstract artists, Bernstein remained committed to figuration, choosing always to connect with real life and people. In her paintings, Bernstein depicted the major issues of her time: the women's suffrage movement, World War I, jazz, the plight of immigrants, unemployment, and racial discrimination. She also painted portraits of her husband and other people, including Polish musician and politician Ignacy Jan Paderewski, jazz musician Charlie Parker, and entertainer Judy Garland. Her studio near Bryant Park and Times Square allowed her to paint a cross-section of New Yorkers, using large brushstrokes and bold colors to depict the vitality of her subjects. At Coney Island and later during her summers in Gloucester, she painted harbors, beaches, fish, and still life. Early reviewers praised her man's vision, while recent scholars have found that she had a decidedly feminine sensibility. In the male-dominated art world of her time, Bernstein, like many women artists, was frequently overlooked. To try to avoid discrimination, she often signed her works using T. Bernstein or just her surname. Bernstein was part of the Philadelphia Ten, an influential group of female artists. She was also a member of the National Association of Women Artists, the Society of American Graphic Artists and the North Shore Art Association. Her works were exhibited extensively with the National Academy of Design and the Society of Independent Artists, which she co-founded. Bernstein artwork is held by a number of museums and other permanent collections, including: The Phillips Collection The Jewish Museum The National Gallery of Art The Smithsonian American Art Museum The Harvard Art Museums The Metropolitan Museum of Art The New York Public Library The Boca Raton Museum of Art in Florida

Bernstein also authored several books, including a biography of her husband and a journal about their many trips to Israel. She died in 2002, just a couple of weeks short of her 112th birthday. She was the only child of Isidore Bernstein, a Jewish textile manufacturer, and his wife Anne Bernstein, an accomplished pianist. The family emigrated to the United States when Theresa was one year old. She showed an early interest in art and began learning to draw and paint at a young age. As a young woman, she traveled several times with her mother to Europe, where she was impressed by artists of the new Expressionist movement like Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and Edvard Munch. Bernstein graduated from the William D. Kelley School in Philadelphia in June 1907, at the age of 17. The same year, she received a scholarship to the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, now Moore College of Artand Design, where she studied with Harriet Sartain, Elliott Daingerfield, Henry B. Snell, Daniel Garber and others. She graduated in 1911 with an award for general achievement (the college awarded her an honorary doctorate in 1992). In 1912, she settled in Manhattan and enrolled at the Art Students League, where she took life and portraiture classes with William Merritt Chase. She met her future husband William Meyerowitz, in 1917, and they married in Philadelphia. Their only child, a girl named Isadora, died in infancy. They lived in New York City and began spending summers in Gloucester, Massachusetts in the 1920s. In 1923, the couple traveled abroad together. In the beginning, Bernstein sales and reviews were far better than her husband's, but over time, her reputation waned due to a decreased interest in realistic subjects, even though they presented themselves as a painting couple. During the Great Depression, Bernstein and her husband continued to teach in their studios in Manhattan and Gloucester and sold graphics to supplement their income. They became involved in the Zionist movement, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, they visited the country 13 times over 30 years. Until her husband's death in 1981, Bernstein promoted his artwork while creating her own. She stated that she did not feel it necessary to compete with him, as she was not competitive by nature. Bernstein and Meyerowitz were close to two of their nieces, Laura Nyro and Barbara Meyerowitz (aka Barbara DeAngelis), and supported their musical education. Following the death of her husband, Bernstein developed a close relationship with DeAngelis youngest son, Keith Carlson, who documented their relationship for a website in the artist's name that was created by the City University of New York. In 1913, Bernstein attended the Armory Show, the first large exhibition of modern art in America. Bernstein admired the style of Robert Henri, founder of the Ashcan School of American realism, and his way of depicting the everyday drama of the city. She was also influenced by John Sloan, Stuart Davis and others of the movement. According to art historian Gail Levin, Bernstein was for a time more popular than well-known realist Edward Hopper, although Bernstein's style over time tended more toward expressionism. However, unlike abstract artists, Bernstein remained committed to figuration, choosing always to connect with real life and people. In her paintings, Bernstein depicted the major issues of her time: the women's suffrage movement, World War I, jazz, the plight of immigrants, unemployment, and racial discrimination. She also painted portraits of her husband and other people, including Polish musician and politician Ignacy Jan Paderewski, jazz musician Charlie Parker, and entertainer Judy Garland. Her studio near Bryant Park and Times Square allowed her to paint a cross-section of New Yorkers, using large brushstrokes and bold colors to depict the vitality of her subjects. At Coney Island and later during her summers in Gloucester, she painted harbors, beaches, fish, and still life. Early reviewers praised her man's vision, while recent scholars have found that she had a decidedly feminine sensibility. In the male-dominated art world of her time, Bernstein, like many women artists, was frequently overlooked. To try to avoid discrimination, she often signed her works using T. Bernstein or just her surname. Bernstein was part of the Philadelphia Ten, an influential group of female artists. She was also a member of the National Association of Women Artists, the Society of American Graphic Artists and the North Shore Art Association. Her works were exhibited extensively with the National Academy of Design and the Society of Independent Artists, which she co-founded. Bernstein artwork is held by a number of museums and other permanent collections, including: The Phillips Collection The Jewish Museum The National Gallery of Art The Smithsonian American Art Museum The Harvard Art Museums The Metropolitan Museum of Art The New York Public Library The Boca Raton Museum of Art in Florida
