The first demo went so well that Max requested part 2!
Join us for another beautiful evening of watching Max do what he does best – painting from life and sharing his wisdom. Last time we had such a warm crowd of fans that it felt like a family reunion. Former students came from far and wide to say hello, watch him work and to learn. It was such a beautiful testament to the legacy of the spirit of love that Max has for people.
Max is a master of realist painting. Even if you think you’re a good painter, you can definitely still learn from Max. His ability to observe the humanity and character of the figure in front of him is unparalleled and it is what sets him apart. We just had an incredible week long workshop with him and we all learned incredible lessons, not just about how to paint, but about how to observe the world as it is, about humanity, and about connection to one another. As he often states, “Nothing exists on its own. Everything is related.”
Max Ginsburg
Celebrated for his uncompromising realism and socially conscious themes, Ginsburg’s paintings resonate with a deep humanism and clarity rarely seen in contemporary art. Drawing on decades of experience as both a fine artist and educator, Ginsburg captures powerful narratives of everyday people, political struggle, and the raw beauty of urban life, all while conveying the subtlety of human emotion.
As a traditional realist, Ginsburg’s work was long considered unfashionable in an art world dominated by modern and conceptual movements. Yet now, at the age of 93, he is experiencing a powerful tide shift—a renewed appreciation for authenticity, empathy, and humanist expression. His work is more relevant than ever. Ginsburg is a humanist, not a sentimentalist, unafraid to confront provocative social issues head-on. He paints with a sense of urgency and moral clarity, voicing outrage over war, inequality, and the erosion of civil rights in America. Paintings that were created years ago remain hauntingly resonant in today’s social and political climate.
