Everett Raymond Kinstler is one of America’s most sought-after portrait painters, conveying both the spirit and the likeness of his subjects by means of extraordinary technical facility and keen observation of character.  New York Creative: Portraits by Everett Raymond Kinstler focuses on one remarkable segment of Kinstler’s body of work:  his interpretations of celebrated figures from the world of arts & letters in New York.  Fifty oil paintings, watercolors, pastels, and charcoal sketches of such cultural luminaries as artists Will Barnet and Jacob Lawrence, writers Tom Wolfe and Arthur Miller, and performers Tony Bennett and Paul Newman will be on view. 

Planned as a celebration of the Kinstler’s 80th birthday, New York Creative is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in New York City, his hometown.
