Cecily Firestein
Cecily Firestein brings a dry wit to PaintingsDirect.com. Her titles reflect the humor in her collaged monotypes. In works like "Kissing Is Fun" and
"I’ll Be with You in Appleblossom Time" it is necessary to look very close at the small, subtle images she uses to create her playful compositions. Cecily Firestein received her MA at New York University. She also studied at The Art Student’s League, the Brooklyn Museum School, and the Hans Hofmann School of Art. She has had solo exhibitions in New York, Brazil, and Germany, and her work can be seen at public institutions like the Brooklyn Museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Freud Museum and Yale University Art Gallery.
