Description

In this memoir, Sascha Feinstein recounts life with his father, Sam Feinstein, who was both a brilliantartist and a hoarder of monumental proportions.

He collected only uncollectible objects-artifacts thatrequired him to give them importance-and at the time of his death in 2003, his hoarding had fundamentallydestroyed all three of his large homes.

Despite this, Sam Feinstein was a remarkable painter and art teacher.

This strange double helix of creativity and destruction guides these collage-like reflections.

Like his students' canvases-paintings inspired by enormous still lifes constructed from the world's refuse-this book incorporates myriad sources in order to create a more layered experience for the reader.

The final result is the depiction of a painter with the highest artistic ideals who nevertheless left behind an incalculable amount of physical and emotional wreckage.
