Franklin Feldman has enjoyed dual careers as a lawyer and as an artist specialising in printmaking. His prints have won recognition in international exhibitions, and are in a number of public collections in the USA. His own life and experience - and his Jewish heritage and culture - are the recurrent themes of his work.
This print shows the artist’s father Reuben leaning on the counter of his store, which is crammed somewhat chaotically with household goods of all kinds. The image unites the bold economy of caricature with an affectionate summary of character and disposition.
